Westlake published porn before he took up noir.
I've read one novel of his and some of two others. I like how he employed sex in his noir writing. Poor Mal Resnick fucks the girl of his dreams and unloads about the time he's in her, overwhelmed by her charms and his enthusiasm. Like Eddie Murphy and his ice cream cone. Westlake understood the differences tween prostitutes and girlfriends and girl friends who are prostitutes. Also, the sex isn't depicted like a dad assembling a swing set on Christmas morning, which seems to be the mire where NEWBS wallow. There's a threshold tween swing set and swing.
Someone oughta write a tutorial about writing thresholds. Marking the trail, so to speak. Hemingway touched on it briefly, using fishing to illustrate his points.
