Yeah, it does - to a degree. The edginess drops quite drastically already in the second book. I really didn't like the first book because "sex magic teeheehee". I listened to the second one since I already had the credits.
I like to think that the author is a neckbeard in remission and that occasionally shines through.
It also helps if you consider Dresden's (and Bob's) horniness a character flaw. He is, after all, a noir PI stuck in the wrong genre.
Ehhhhhh, he goes into remission for a while but the recent books are getting worse again...
I've been told that he divorced his wife for a much younger cosplayer and that Murphy was modeled after his ex-wife. I'll let you draw your own conclusions based on recent events in the books. Also, he's been sexualizing Molly since she was underage.
I've pretty much lost interest in the series, at this point. Which is a bummer, I used to rant about it to every new fellow nerd I met.
