It discusses what's categorized as hard or soft SF: "Even a hint of body-to-body sex can be enough to earn an sf novel an Approach With Caution warning—that is, categorization as soft SF. "

In my opinion body-to-body sex has nothing to do with whether SF is hard or soft.

If an SF story includes explicit lesbian sex but still complies with laws of physics, it's hard.

If all the characters were sexless Dilberts, but the story has faster than light travel, it is soft.
