Church officer making love to woman, finally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sexton

'church officer' is the definition.
(I know that sexton is a type of church officer)

'making love to woman finally' is the wordplay.
'making love' becomes 'sex' (making love means having sex).
'to woman' becomes 'ton' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'finally' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go at the end of others).
'sex'+'ton'='SEXTON'

(Other definitions for sexton that I've seen before include "Church employee" , "Job" , "Graveyard employee" , "Church caretaker, gravedigger" , "One looks after church and churchyard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
