In any case I disagree with Robert Heinlein. The human sees many things as being good or bad, without having any material substantial reference to look at. The fact that for so many time (and even now) some people banned sexual liberation, is enough proof to refute Mr. Heinlein statement, and of course the irony is that without sex we couldn't reproduce...
