Well, I think the authors succeeded in going to a lower level of tawdriness in this novel. I read this back in 1969 when it first came out and for a 19-year old, it seemed more than risque - very sexy and nasty! Rereading it now, it was just a series of sexual encounters that hammer you one after another. Not very original or sexy. And it is very dated - written during the heyday of hippies and falling out of society - especially the chapter about the homosexual and the attitudes of the time. Anyway, it is definitely a piece out of the past and probably should stay there!
