Well yeah, definitely. I can only assume that most romance writers do not seem to think that this is a big deal. I can forgive it in some situations more easily than other - where balance of power is not skewed badly. I also like when at least other people around the idiot point to him that he is an unprofessional idiot because he cannot refrain from wanting a piece of ass as you said. Was it "Junk" by Josephine Myles where therapist slept with the guy, he was conflicted, etc, but everybody around him was encouraging him to go for it. Yay.
It also feels lazy to me if this premise is what counts as conflict in so many stories these days.
