I loved Checkpoint but am still irked that while both Lymond and Philippa are broken by sex, Lymond reacts by sleeping with everything that moves while Philippa reacts by not being able to touch anyone. Sigh.

Yes. It's not that either of these reactions can't happen to an individual. It's that in too many books each type (the whore, the untouchable) is exaggerated and gender stereotyped.
