The Church of England has finally announced its proposals to their General Synod to deal with the vexed question of how to respond to same-sex marriage.

And the conversation turned (as it often did) to sexual matters and sexual “conquests”. A fellow soldier asked me about my experience in this area. What 18-year-old male doesn’t have sex??
