Now, in certain institutions and among people with certain beliefs, this ritual gender division is more rigidly adhered too. Fundamentalism is a perfect case in point - sitting seperately in church or requiring chaperones in mixed-gender company.

A perfect example is Falwell's Liberty university where males cannot be in female dorms for any reason. Cutting through all the BS - the reason is obviously to prevent the kids from having sex. Now, even in a place like Liberty where they try to fanatically stamp out homosexuality, they assume that children will only desire heterosexual sex. So there is essentially a type of sex that these systemic gender rules will not prevent.
Furthermore, it seems to me that such radically fundamentalist type rules foster same sex relationships. Think about it - tensions are getting high, kids are maturing and forming opinions, their sex drive is running into a brick wall, they want release - and the only avenues for them to pursue or those in their own dorm.
Just think about it.
