Review: Constant sex scenes cannot make up for a mediocre science fiction story

More like a 2.75I found this story to be just average and its only real distinguishing feature--the inclusion of lots of sex scenes--to add nothing to the story.  I presume the author thought that adding such scenes would "spice" his story up, but for me it just cluttered it up and was an unnecessary distraction.Moreover, I found the idea that, having conquered most disease, reworked their genes to eliminate some defects and bad behavior, to increase their physical beauty, intelligence, and to lengthen their lives, the chief preoccupation of the supposedly intelligent people we met in this story--members of a society a thousand years more "advanced" than ours--would be so focused on wall to wall sex at every opportunity, to be pretty unbelievable.
