@archeohistories I don't still get why people are surprised by this: it's pretty obvious that being sailing for long periods, they must have sex between them. This also applies, I'd dare to say, for armies. Probably, this practice extends to modern times, too.
@ykbprst So? If he's gay, what with it? We're in different times. Now, what he should have done is be honest with this girl and end their relationship peacefully.
