He got very pervy in the second trilogy. Genuinely the horniest books I've ever read and they only get more horny as they progress.

Worth a read too. They remain good books despite phrases like "vaginal pulsing" and "beefswelling".

Largely agree, except if those are the horniest books you've ever read you clearly haven't gotten enough 80's high fantasy in your diet

The Xanth novels come to mind for me. Piers Anthony was obsessed with panties

Larry Niven's Ringworld series for me

You know a scifi series is horny when they have multiple terms that mean "fuckin an alien"

Or 70s post modern literature. Some of those books are easily the most perverse I've tried to read.

Yeah, read the books when I was younger and had no idea how horny the books got past Children/God Emperor of Dune, was a big surprise

You've got to realise that the Dune books past Children of Dune came out at a time when books like Gravity's Rainbow were being published. The standards for what was pervy in literature were really being pushed further than ever before by postmodernist authors. So when Frank Herbert is saying that he's not a pervert that would write about certain things, it's in the context of being compared to other popular works of the time.

I don't think this is a real quote, I haven't heard it before at any rate; but what you say is true regardless.
