The first novelist I knew, John Hearne, told me that several bits of his first novel came from his life experience. I'm not altogether sure which of them were the rude bits (which included a couple of women's thoughts on sex). He didn't, for example, describe having sex with a German woman during the Occupation in exchange for a bar of chocolate, though I do know that happened.
