That part about genre fiction allowing authors to avoid writing about sex and alcohol definitely rings true. I'm a fan of Sanderson's, but his characters come off as very asexual. I'm trying to think of any Sanderson character that had at least a bit of sexuality to him/her, and the closest I can get is Blushweaver, who was an actual Goddess of Lust- and even she was basically just a flirt.
