That is, there are no descriptions of what it's like to participate in a sex act. The story is set in the distant future with humans settled on many different star systems, able to move about easily from planet to planet via teleports.
Most planets have sex-positive cultures that allow their residents to participate in whatever kind of sex they like as long as no one gets hurt or coerced. Sex changes are easy and commonplace, as are nanotech-effected body modifications for sexual reasons. But some worlds have their own cultures, including those which have what we would regard as traditional approaches to sexuality.
Jinkie Jenkins is from such a world, which discourages women from thinking about sex, much less participating in it, prior to marriage.
Jinkie finds this incredibly dull, and moves offplanet as soon as she can, hoping to become a big-time reporter. When she gets a job offer from the Interstellar Inquirer to be a reporter, she's overjoyed.. She's hot to be an interstellar crime reporter, most especially, she wants to cover the recent theft of an entire planet by the Borkistanis.
But her editor, Grabthar Assurilogan, aka Grab Ass, has other plans for her. He puts her on the Sluts in Space beat. Jinkie has brought all her culture's sexual inhibitions with her when she moved to space, and her first assignment, the rural slut world of Durango 3, may just be too much for her. What I'm looking for is: a this is supposed to be funny more than anything else, it is funny?
