As my friends have become older, more often than not, they have also become engaged, married and eventually fathers/mothers.

I am by no means the last of my group, but I’m certainly not the first. I can assure you, this lack of hasty reproduction has provided me with my fair share of ‘tips’, ‘hints’ and ‘horror stories’ from experienced parental units.
