Titan - John Varley

A fairly average story, of an encounter with a strange artifact, which
of course turns out to be alien. It often seems more obsessed with how
the characters look with no clothes on, and whether they are skinny
enough, than with the actual story. Almost a bit like the bad Heinlein.

Clearly there is supposed to be sexual role and identity commentary here, but I am not sure it works particularly well.
