When I Think About My 'First Time'- I Think Of My Mother

When I think back to my ‘first time’, I think of my mother and the way in which she supported me. I was 16 years old and felt ‘ready’ to ‘lose my virginity’ to my then boyfriend. When I told my mum that we were planning this, she gave me a big hug and asked, ‘Are you sure?’ I said yes. I was sure.
