I’ve been scouring my memory for the name of a book I read decades ago. I only remember fragments. Inter-dimensional portals, a female warrior who is immortal (and beautiful), an average man protagonist.
A Boris type cover with the scantily clad woman warrior on the cover... possibly with a Stonehenge type structure.
story-identification novel

Possibly the Morgaine Cycle by C.J. Cherryh. "Gate of Ivrel" is the first book, published in 1976 so fits the timeframe provided. All other details - portals, female warrior, average man, cover with scantily clad woman warrior and structure - match too.

See if this link brings back memories.

I'm not sure if this is right but Robert Heinlein's Glory Road fits the description.

Some more details on how this matches maybe? ;) (quotes, summary, Goodreads link etc...)

Star is beautiful, but not immortal. They do travel between universes, but most often naked and using only a pentagram - no stonehenge style gates. Oscar isn't exactly average, either. He was selected for a special ability - he always knows where he is in relation to any place he has traveled. This ability was needed to get through the labyrinth guarding the "egg."
