I've read a few things here and on other forums, and yes, he is indeed a dirty old man, he prides himself on the fact that the High Lady Allustriel, one of the seven sisters, and ruler of Silverymoon (which is near Mithril Hall, for you Drizzt Fans) has essentially had sex with everyone within a forty mile radius of her city (male and female), and once ran an adventure where the PC's had to find her and deliver a message through her royal bath house (think orgy involving all of the nobility), and there was a ward that removed any and all metal when they went in (swords, arrowheads, belt buckles, etc) so the party is supposed to end up buck naked in an orgy and deliver a message... I don't think so.
Yes Larry, he is indeed a perv living out his 13y/o masturbation fantasies with his books.
The books themselves are rubbish, Memnoch had some very good rants about them, as did Luvian, I'll see if I can track them down.
as far as love scenes, and possibly nudity, there is a place for it in novels, look at some of the Wheel of Time books, it is handled (usually) maturely, well thought out, and in a realistic manner, throwing it around without thought or care is irresponsible, childish, and irritating.
