Clearly 'sex' in the Dally household is a joyless, functional bout of missionary position intercourse that takes place on the third Sunday of every month, and with the minimum of foreplay.

The situation was clarified for me again by one of my rather naive daughters at the weekend. One of her friends had texted her to say she'd had sex with another girl. My daughter asked Mrs Dally how two women could have sex. Mrs Dally gave a couple of examples and my daughter answered "that's not sex."

Your weird daughter and her bizarre views on sex aside, there is no difference whatsoever in the love between a man and a woman, and the love between two people of the same sex. It follows then, that there really ought to be no difference in their respective marriages either.

We don't know what the supposed examples were so cannot agree or disagree with your "rather naive" daughter.

Who cares?
Was it intended to? It was your lack of clarity that was the issue?
Name any example that is sex or "sexual relations" (in the Clintonesque sense).

I always thought the union of a man and a woman was the expression of love and the basis of marriage. Indeed, a species is often defined via the ability to reproduce and produce viable offspring capable of reproduction. I must have missed something given that I am clearly wrong. Could someone please elucidate?

Eh? My "lack of clarity"?, I wasn't even present at your family tut-tutting session.

As you were talking about sex between women, oral and manual sex spring to mind as likely examples (but, as a man, I can't speak for what two women together might prefer).

But, according to you (or your daughter) that isn't sex ... on that you must be in a small minority of opinion.

Was Clinton on oath when he said he hadn't had sexual relations with that woman? If so, maybe he was clear on the legal meaning of his words?

Oh FFS ... you are quoting Clinton as a reliable source of meaning for the words "sexual relations"?

You must be the one person in this country who thought that a blowjob wasn't sexual relations.

Oh, hang on ... maybe your daughter thought it wasn't either.

I will check on whether other ministers can also be registrars because if that is now the case then the change has been very recent.

..... and off he went to confirm that he knows not what he talks about. (He being the only person who has ever claimed that anyone other than a registrar can be a registrar). Poor lamb.

Strangely, he has not been heard of since.

Should we organise a search party?

It depends what function you place marriage. If we all agree that our primary function is to procreate marriage serves a purpose in that function then it quite clearly isn't the same for a same sex couple.
