You haven't read any Samuel R. Delany, apparently. Rather a careful marxist
(at least, compared to the, in my view, clumsiness of Asimov on that count),
he's written space opera, sword & sorcery, tons of engaging non-fiction,
much of which handles human sexual relations with amazing sensitivity and
grace and wit.  Highly recommended.
