As for vulgarity, what do you mean? Just sex acts? Or nudity? Or curse words? How about made-up futuristic curse words? Fracking elaborate!

RE: "Agenda" - what I mean is the author sat down with a goal to write a fun read, not that they sat down to write to push an "agenda." I simply enjoy 50's and 60's type "innocent" stories.
RE: Vulgarity - I'm a christian and I simply can't stand vulgarity and I don't want to read about sex acts. Read a '50's book and then read a modern book and I think the difference in language is apparent.
