The story takes place at a small liberal arts college where privacy is limited due to the small student body. The key individuals are the Original Poster (OP) and a female student whom the OP finds physically attractive.
The core conflict began when the OP noticed this woman frequently dated or had casual s*xual encounters with many of the eligible men on campus.
Despite the woman flirting with the OP in social settings, the OP lost interest because he found her extensive dating history unappealing.
When questioned by friends about why he rejected her clear advances, the OP stated that he did not want to contract a s*xually transmitted disease (STD) from her, implying his judgment based on her s*xual activity.
This comment immediately caused one friend to label the OP as disrespectful, placing the OP in a position where he must now defend his blunt statement.

The OP is currently dealing with the fallout from voicing a harsh opinion rooted in his personal moral judgment about another student's s*xual history.
His statement, intended as a partly serious explanation for his avoidance, has been interpreted by others as disrespectful and judgmental, creating friction within his social circle.
The central question for debate is whether the OP's blunt expression of his personal boundary and health concern, however critical of the woman's behavior, crosses the line into unwarranted disrespect.
Should personal caution regarding s*xual history be expressed openly, even if it means insulting another person's character?
