Hah, planned to follow up the post to say I finished it but forgot
Anyway, no it didn't have any explicit fucking, but it had some implied fucking. Knowing that there was supposed to be actual fucking makes sense in retrospect. It seemed like everyone cheated on everyone behind their back. One of the core plot points is D'artagnan's romance with the wife of his landlord.
This is the one I listened to, mere 26 hours of narration. But I grew to really like this reader.

After that I listened to 7-9 hours of the second part "20 years after" and the different reader really makes a difference. The beginning of the book was also pretty tiring because it takes a lot of time to meet the musketeers again.
Speaking of the first book, thinking about it, it really doesn't seem like the narrative needed 700 pages to be told. The action/plot is okay, but for that length I'd expect a "grand" story, not "an episode" in their lives. Considering there's like 2.8k pages of this narrative AFTER 3 musketeers, maybe its only a prologue, but I doubt I'll get through that. I'm reminded of Bleach being way too long for its narrative content, but at the very least Bleach had a "grand" story in the end, even if said end was kinda rushed in the manga.
All in all
