Is 'The Godfather' a softcore porno the entire book?

Damn.... I had alway heard the book was much trashier than the films, but I didn't know we would get whole chunks of story dedicated to Sonny's hog and how much his 'big down there' mistress loves it so.
I'm 40 mins into the book and it feels like half the story was written for a prudish 1960s housewife who secretly loved smut novels.
Just wondering, is the entire book this way?

No but the ridiculous side story is distracting. movie > book. Try Wise Guy next. Great book and great movie.

I haven't read it in years, but I believe you'll find out about a cavernous vagina later on.

No but it was genius not to include that side plot in the movie. It was dumb and added nothing to the story.
One of the few times the movie was much, much better than the novel. I found the novel to be nothing special. I think the best line in the book was the very last one.

Puzo was simply out to write a best seller, & he believed a best seller had to have a major female character.
Why he didn't go into more detail on Connie or Kay instead of Lucy's physical idiosyncrasies, I don't know.

I like the book. The inner dialogue and explanations of what people thought about the various families during the sit down was good. I also liked the opening with the rapists getting beaten, Sonny throwing the con men out of Long Island, and the explanation of how the business had come to be and how the two regimes were split. Plus Kay was more likable, even if her pov chapters were boring.

To be fair, that problem gets fixed later in the book.
Like literally medically fixed. Sorry for the spoiler.

As with most books vs. movie, it’s different. They detail the ex cop much more in the book. The book is essentially GF 1 and 2 combined.
