it's such a woman answer/perspective implying that one must make sure they both want the same things before they can have sex- ridiculous.
First, learn how to use the quote feature; it makes responses (especially your last one) a bit easier to decipher.
Second, I fail to see how this is a "woman's perspective." The OP was asking whether he should sleep with someone in law school, possibly from his section. It's common sense to see how tense or uncomfortable or distracting (or all of the above) it can get is things end badly. And if the 2 people involved are NOT on the same page at the beginning, the chances for things to end badly are higher then if they went in with the same expectations.
And suggesting this guy cover his ass is far from "babysitting her." If this dude wants to go out on a random date w/ someone, or find a one night stand at a bar, or sleep with a friend of a friend of a friend, or whoever, and then never call again or have a @#!* buddy, that's totally fine. It's the responsibility of each person, generally, to deal with it.
But when you're in close quarters, and in an environment like law school that is also high stress, plus the fact that after only 2 months you're not going to really know what kind of emotional baggage your @#!* buddy has or how mentally stable they are, adding it all up means that divergent expectations could get ugly.
Maybe I'm alone in thinking that that kind of drama is something that should avoided whenever possible considering everything else going on 1L year.
