 Another general attitude and prejudice of Fleming 's that Bond gives voice to includes his approach to homosexuality . While Fleming had a number of gay friends , including Noël Coward and his editor , William Plomer , he said that his books were " written for warm @-@ blooded heterosexuals " . His attitude went further , with Bond opining that homosexuals were " a herd of unhappy sexual misfits – barren and full of frustrations , the women wanting to dominate and the men to be nannied " , adding that " he was sorry for them , but he had no time for them . "
