What is the main conflict in The Most Beautiful Woman in Town & Other Stories by Charles Bukowski?

Author Henry (Hank) Bukowski features himself in most of the stories by name and in most of the remaining ones he veils himself only lightly. In the ones describing the most loathsome behavior—pedophilia, necrophilia, and homophobic first-degree murder—he increases the distance between himself and the offending characters. When including himself in the stories, Bukowski is not personally fond of male-on-male sex but is tolerant of others and once accepts it when he cannot easily prevent it. He relishes in describing many male/female sexual positions in a variety of venues.
