Other languages, particularly Japanese, have a lot of words for complex, nuanced emotions that make those of us writing in English feel like we’re painting with crayons.
Heinlein is an author where I love half his works. He has two quirks to his writing, the first is his soap box moments where he has a character rant about something, which I can appreciate. The second is having the plot devolve into sex. For example Stanger in a Strange Land has a great first half but then devolves into a sex cult. I would use the word primadegenerace to describe the way some people make everything about baser emotions like sex or food or dominance.

Wow, that's a spectacular word, for wonderfully weird emotion. Thank you!!!
