A MOTHER of a 21-year-old man with Down syndrome has gone public in her search for volunteers to help him lose his virginity.
Lucy Baxter says her son Otto wants to have sex for the first time and not only is she helping him find a woman, she says she is willing to pay for it.
"I’d like all my boys to find love and enjoy sex," Miss Baxter, who lives in Oxfordshire, UK and has four adopted sons with Downs syndrome, told the Daily Mail.
"I would have no problem paying for Otto to go to Amsterdam to visit a brothel if that’s what he wanted but I dare say he could afford to pay for it himself."
Miss Baxter said she just wanted her son to have the same opportunities available to people without Down syndrome.
