>Ruthless, unscrupulous, devastatingly handsome, and insatiable Judd Crane, the richest man in the world, has everything a man could want in life: an endless supply of money, women, power, and sex. But despite his vast riches, he realizes that he cannot escape death.
>From the author of The New York Times number one best-selling novel The Carpetbaggers comes a tale of a fierce obsession - immortality. Determined to cheat death, Judd embarks on a dangerous path from Yugoslavia to China, from the sheltered paradise of his lush private island to a secret atomic city in the jungles of Brazil. Along the way, Judd will stop at nothing to find what he's looking for - including chancing death, endangering his fortune, outmaneuvering foreign agents, and, ultimately, risking both his business empire and the woman he loves - until the very last second, when he discovers the most vital secret of all.
Anyone else read this? It's a 1985 erotic novel dealing with post-human/trans-human themes. A billionaire playboy seeks immortality, and has lot of sex along the way.
I read it years ago, but the image that still stands out is late in the book. The protagonist has transformed himself into some kind of enlightened, zen master. His love interest comes to visit his secret fortress and he's meditating in lotus position while two naked asian twins lie around him in a ying-yang type pattern.
It's like an Accelerationist/NRx jerk-fantasy.

From this description, I just might have to read this book now.

>In a bizarre flashback Judd admits to his stepmother that he has always found her attractive and used to masturbate, thinking about her; Judd then drops his trousers and does the deed right before her (flattered) eyes, having her clean him up afterwards! And then there's an even stranger scene where Nicolai, Sofia's KGB lover, is reunited with Sofia after a few years apart; he confronts her as she's in the tub, pours champagne on his "erect phallus," and delivers the unforgettable line: "You loved champagne and you loved my prick. Let's see if you remember. Now drink both of them!"

yeah, I remember both of those scenes now that you've mentioned them.
I honestly jerked off to the book multiple times. The bathtub scene was pretty hot.

>But when the narrative stops at 1980 and then picks up in 1984, Judd is even more distant from us. He's become a sort of mystic, sitting in a Lotus position through the night and astrally voyaging into the furthest reaches of inner space. At night he sleeps with two women beside him, to "balance his ying and yang." Weekly he has new women shipped in, sleeping with one a night, but never orgasming. This too is explained in cryptic New Age-isms, and we must infer that Judd has gotten this way due to the treatments he has undergone, which are making him something other than human.

How does it end?

The bathtub scene? pretty sure she swallows his cum.
The book ends with Crane realizing that he'd rather fuck sofia and he gives up his quest for immortality.
