I don't know if it's that rampant. There's a lot of supporting factors, the monastery-like exclusion, a silent understanding from the sisters, an anti-male vibe for girls emulating Red sisters.. But yeah, for a fantasy series, WOT was pretty damn chaste. Like Mat, he had a lot of sexcapades between the lines, but going by the text it was all just "kissing and dancing".
Nearly every single Aes Sedai we meet seems to have had a pillow friend or knows of girls that were pillow friends as Novices/Accepted. It's even called out in several instances in the Companion with a special note that people now "exclusively prefer men". It's very common place in the Tower even if the writing itself is very understated (i.e. G-rated) the jist of what's going on is pretty clear.
Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!
What unsolved mysteries do you think other posters can help you with?

Logain stated that Rand is stronger than him because he makes larger Gateways *NM*

That is a big logical leap, and dodges rather than answering the question

Just because Randland is Deist does not make it deity-free.
