Captain Sally Williamson has published an article named’ Sex and War’ in the official land force forum. She says “improving sex and interactive environment of sex help improve the condition of soldiers who are diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The captain explained that letting soldiers have sex under a safe and controllable environment is feasible. It can also help relieve their loneliness and living pressure from lacking support of families, friends and partners.

“The land force can sign a contract with female sex workers to provide services for soldiers in the frontline,” she said. Considering the safety problem of sex workers, she suggests to provide sex toy for further safe and regulated sex satisfaction.

Meanwhile, she insists that related parties and captains are too conservative regarding this topic. They are not willing to even discuss it. She believes if the suggestion is not accepted, then the team will stick to the wrong direction forbidding sex.

The article has been deleted though it has led to furious discussions online. Former army and a conservative party member Bernie Gaynor said her opinion is too scary. “In the wake of sex scandal a few years ago in the military academy, I can't believe that a captain would be making such suggestions.”

MADRID (AP) — Spain on Tuesday approved a plan aimed at making reparation and economic compensation for victims of sex abuse committed by people connected to the Catholic Church.

It also announced the future celebration of a public act of recognition for those affected and their families.

The Minister of the Presidency and Justice, Félix Bolaños, said the plan was based on recommendations in a report by Spain's Ombudsman last year. From that report, he said it was concluded that some 440,000 adults may have suffered sex abuse in Spain by people linked to the church and that roughly half of those cases were committed by clergy.

Bolaños said the compensation would be financed by the church.

But in a statement Tuesday, Spain’s Bishops Conference rejected the plan, saying it discriminated against victims outside of church circles.

No details of how much or when financial compensation would be paid were released. Neither was a date set for any public act of recognition.

Bolaños said the plan aimed to “settle a debt with those victims who for decades were forgotten by everyone and now our democracy aims to repair” that, and make it a central part of government policy.

After years of virtually ignoring the issue, Spain’s bishops apologized for the abuses committed by church members following the Ombudsman's report but disputed the number of victims involving the church as exaggerated. That report accused the church of widespread negligence.

Bolaños said the government hoped to carry out the plan over the next four years in collaboration with the church.

The project will include free legal assistance for all victims of sexual abuse and it will reinforce the prevention supervision in schools.

Only a handful of countries have had government-initiated or parliamentary inquiries into clergy sex abuse, although some independent groups have carried out their own investigations.
