You should have finished Job because her throwing herself at him was part of the story. Spoiler alert but she was a plant working for the Devil from the start.

And SIASL isn’t about a middle aged man. It’s about a frickn Martian absolutely nothing like anyone on Earth.

I think the parent meant Jubal Hershaw, who does rather read like Heinlein's dream image of himself.

Maybe so, but while Jubal certainly enjoys having three young beautiful women around him, it's made clear that there's nothing but teasing going on. At least that's my recollection.

It happened in the Martian's commune (sorry, it's been awhile and I'm having a hard time remembering names).
