So after our second session, two more players joined and several NPCs introduced, my Half-Elf Wardblade is the only male in the party of eight people. BTW this is a pirate campaign.
Should I be worried about anything? Our group has no qualms with "risque" material and have had plenty of inter character relationships in the past

Congratulations, you're starring in a whimsical Harem story with a pirate theme.
Make sure you figure which of the love interests characters is the Tsundere, and which is the Yandere and you should be fine.
@Eltacolibre, It's a class from the 3.5 book, The Tome Of Battle.
Imagine fighters with magic moves, similar but not quite like a magus.
@Rynjin, I don't remember which 'dere type is which

Kill em all, let Pharasma sort em out.
Though it might be hard to sail the boat alone...
(Note: I would give exactly the same advice if the situation was gender flipped. I just like killing.)

Tsundere is like: "Shut up! Don't touch me!" While she hugs you tightly.
Yandere is like: "We'll be together FOREVER. <3" While she holds a gigantic cleaver.

And your problem is what exactly?
I don't consider your situation an issue or even odd. My table has always had a few women players and more than a fair share of male players have played female characters.
Our Skull & Shackles campaign had two male characters and 4 female characters. We had fun. As will you, so don't sweat it.
Well so far most of us are keeping to ourselves, except a pirate captain that seduced my character and stole an amulet that belonged to his late wife. We got it back without any bloodshed though, so, that happened.
@dragoncat: thank you, so I need to avoid the PC thief at all costs. Right.

No problem. Have fun!
Oooooh, that may not be an issue. PC rogue put on a magic item without checking what it was and botched her will save... updates as they arrive
So does your party consist of 8 players or 8 characters?
I ... honestly can't imagine what problems this would cause.
STD's and surprise pregnancy

If you are all friends, then I wouldn't be worried about anything. Girls are people too. If you do not know one or more of them well, it would be courteous to at least act mature until you have a rapport. Basically, don't be the first person to blurt out "That's what she said."

1) Find Girdle of opposite gender.
2a) Wear it yourself to fit into the group dynamic
2b) Give to someone else to increase Male-Female ratio
3) Steal underpants.
4) ???
5) Profit.

Actually "that's what she said" jokes make up about half of our sessions :P

Raven, have you checked out Path of War, the Tome of Battle system update for Pathfinder?
A Warlord with the Privateer archetype would make for an awesome character in a Pirate campaign.

Sounds like you have nothing to be worried about then.
But, since you brought the question up, I will suggest that a gentleman would not not cross certain lines with a woman unless she does so first, or she says its OK. But if you already know that a line is OK to cross before a particular woman lets you know it is, then you don't need to be asking advice from people on the internet.

Well dang, our rogue went cowboy and got eaten by a giant fish. Solves the Yandere problem.

That fits into the 'douchebag GM' category.
Ciaran speaks truth. :)

I didn't realize they'd created a Panty Raider rogue archetype.

Or a GM who's giving Lamashtu a prominent position on the list of "gods literally screwing over the PCs."

STD's and surprise pregnancy
Still not seeing the problem. STD's can be passed between any gender of people who are intimate with each other, so I don't think having 7 females and 1 male increases the risk. If you are worried about getting all of them pregnant (assuming that all 7 of them are actually sleeping with you) might I suggest some bachelor snuff?
If you are really concerned about avoiding romantic IC relationships, have your character not be attracted to women, or just ask the players not to RP that sort of thing.
Hidden advantage: you shouldn't have as many problems with sirens.

The only problem i would see is the fact that there are 8 people total. This many players often means an unruly, loud and distracted table, though certainly not always. You'll have to see how it works out.

Don't ye know the laws of the sea? It be bad luck to have womenfolk aboard.
Better rename yer ship the Miss Fortune and pray ye do not forget to leave the toilet seat up.
On the bright side there likely won't be as much barrel duty.

Okay, are all other players and the GM are girls or just the characters? If all players are girls expect you, you are one of the luckiest guy in gaming and you should be able to survive this if you play it right. Who knows? you might even gain something at the end.
If they are all guys playing as girls, don't fall for that trap, stay away from the gross and awkward moments. Just keep you and your character's head straight, focus to the main story. Trust me, it's gross. Everytime my character cherish another female PC as a friend, that player will automatically think that my character is hitting on her. Which sucks because that's what most male players that plays female characters think about...

For those asking what the problem is: he has created a lusty character, and is now in a situation where that lusty character is surrounded by temptation. Based off of either past experiences, exposure to stories, or intuition, he is now at a point of potential discomfort, as he doesn't want (for various social reasons) to potentially cause awkward moments between himself and the other players by creating romantic tension between the PCs, or creating awkward moments between characters due to romantic entanglements in general.
The best way to handle things, in such a context, is as Ciaran has stated: be polite, let the other indicate through clear social cues whether or not the character's nature is welcome.
If this is a little out-of-character, that's fine: just have it be a form of internalized character growth. Something about being part of this crew, maybe.
Either way, relax, have fun, and goid gaming!

Make up rules with the GM for the constant nosebleeds! (Fort save vs faint? Con damage?)
Can't forget those wacky antics and 'accidental' situations that he's got to constantly end up in!

If he wants, he could ask the GM for a coustom item, a cursed glove of sexlesness, which removes the wearers lust and gender. Somewhat silly answer, but still one.

That just leaves the Yaoi fans among the crew. Possibly another answer to your issue. Although I guess 'potential issue' is the problem to begin with.

Might be a bit of a problem, considering it's now 6 women and 1 man on the crew.
Then again, I don't know if there are more men on the crew than just our (un)lucky protagonist, here...

Step (4) is always my favorite. Its so open to interpretation and creativity.
