Simon also is celibate.

The Thornleigh student recently told all of Australia about this, on an intimate and personal SBS Insight episode.

My wife Amy and I watched it. We were particularly struck by Simon’s candour, his wisdom beyond years, and that he didn’t have two heads.

Despite the counter-cultural decision he has made to not have sexual relationships, Simon on Insight came across as the kind of mature, likable bloke you’d want your son to grow up to be.

I had to talk more with Simon. Not only to ask him about the big choice he made when he was 18.

I also wanted to know: Simon, what is it that you really want people to know about you, more than that one huge decision you made six years ago?
