<p>I agree that it may be better to leave the word “Christian” out of it and just describe it as a conflict between a sexually conservative student and a sexually liberal one.</p>
<p>I would take issue with an earlier poster who described the conservative sexual rules as arbitrary. Though they came with religious explanations in some societies, many of the same rules were adopted in non-religious societies. They have to do with avoiding unnecessary risks. With modern techniques for avoiding pregnancy and STD’s the risks may be less, but there are still significant risks. Apart from the aforementioned repercussions, while young people today try to pretend it is otherwise, it is common for the sexual experience to form an emotional bond in one of the partners though not the other, creating risks of serious emotional and relationship issues. </p>
<p>There is nothing ignorant, irrational, immature, or provincial about a student who wishes to avoid these risks and who understands that such risks, and related conflicts, may be better avoided by finding a roommate with a similar attitude.</p>
