As was probably mentioned before, the mic used and selective eqing while tracking will have a big effect on the pressence (or lack of) sibilence. Personally, Ive never used deessing below 7k for male or female vocs. Also, I agree its good to solo and work each track but in my experience working with the vocals, after each track is tweaked, monitoring the whole song is very important for a balenced mix. Vocals that sound good solo'd can easily fight for space in a mix once added with everything else.
