Basically society changed, decided some of the things in Anthony's books were unacceptable and moved on from him.

totally true. His "Bio of a Space Tyrant" series had all of the above....and that was from the "hero". I admit I read it, but it was sort of train-wrecky (you couldn't look away). I was young enough to be intrigued by the adult content but am now old enough to be appalled by it. Most of his other series seemed to feature a ton of innuendo and sexual content aimed at teenage boys, unless they were even more adult than that. We could probably have a whole thread of examples of his excess.
