Despite the Christian's desire for it not to happen, the Christian will be exposed to serious sin and could get caught up in it and fall into sin himself. Especially men as pornography is such a serious and rampant problem in that community. We should never overestimate our spiritual maturity in the face of sin. That being said, it is possible, and even desirable to have relationships with unbelievers so that we can reflect Christ to them. They may never have felt the benefits of being around a genuine Christian and may come to a knowledge of the Lord in this manner.

We should always be aware of the degree to which we get entangled in a life that is inundated with serious sin.
Exactly, which is why boundaries need to be set in place.

If you have a problem with setting personal boundaries and relationship boundaries then it could present problems.

There is are some really good books for learning how to set Biblical boundaries if you have that problem on when to say yes or no. Especially if you have an issue with others always ignoring your boundaries.
