Why did he end up being such a baby anyway? Old-school parenting mixed with shyness?
A mix of things. Part of it is self-righteousness (it makes him feel superior to other people). Another part is genuine principle ("it'd be wrong to take advantage of a woman just because she's desperate"). Another part is resentment of society for seeing him as little more than a fertilization tool. Another part of it is the fact that he's somewhat apathetic towards Y-crisis.
