A MUM whose son has Down's Syndrome is appealing for a woman to have sex with him – for the first time. </Lucy Baxter says son Otto, 21, is desperate to lose his virginity and she is willing to help him find a girl – and PAY for it.

Miss Baxter, 50, who has helped Otto set up a Bebo web page appealing for potential dates to come forward, said: "I'd like all my boys to find love and enjoy sex.

"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, who lives in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and has four adopted sons with Down's Syndrome, said she just wanted her son to have the same opportunities as others.

"I strongly believe that society has a learning disability when it comes to Down's Syndrome," she said.

Desires

"Why should these people be kept separate and pigeon-holed when they have the same emotions, desires and feelings as so called 'normal' people?

"He has the same expectations as everybody else. If he doesn't get a girlfriend, I will feel really bad, because I have sold him this thing that he is like everybody else."

Otto persuaded his mum to help him find a partner after three years of knock-backs and says his ideal woman is sexy TV presenter Fearne Cotton.

He said: "I’m on a mission to find a girlfriend. My reason is I want to have sex. I’m looking for girlfriends everywhere

"There was Jackie, she was a sexy bird, she was gorgeous. She gave me four kisses.

"Then there was Sarah. We had a crazy snog together. It was a few months ago. I'm still waiting for her to call me back.”

Miss Baxter, a leading campaigner on the rights of Down’s Syndrome sufferers, added: "His room is stuffed full of condoms which he buys every time he goes to the pub with his friends and his collection of pornography is staggering.

"I don’t have a problem with any of it. He’s going to Las Vegas for a few days to promote himself as an actor so who knows, he might get lucky over there.

"When he gets back home I’ve lined up a few dating agencies for him to join. I always encourage him to go to nightclubs and other places where people pick up women."

Looking for love ... Lucy Baxter with son Otto

lets have a 'Thaivisa' Charity event and send him to Pattaya .... surly he can find a GF There

Is that the new word for those girls in Pattaya then? girlfriend?

well in Theory no, but to the 33,000 Ferang who have them yes ..

but the poor guy would have a whale of a time in Pattaya ! , as i once had a friend here who COULD NOT get a GF for love no money in the UK ( pysical features stop it ) but when he came here the ladies treated him like a king and he got laid every night ... no he is a regular to the LOS, but at the end of the day, he didnt care that they where only after money, he just cared that the female species of thailand treated him with respect and ' Part - time ' love that he was unable to get in the UK ( remember a Postitute in the UK or Amsterdam only an hour thing )

well, if one can buy respect. Lets just say they treated him like a king and leave it at that, shall we?

he just cared that the female species of thailand treated him with respect and ' Part - time ' love that he was unable to get in the UK (

come on boater, if the prossies in UK or Europe could be hired as a "girlfriend" for a cheaply as you can get in Thailand then he would have been treated like a king & shown "respect" by those working girls too.

Not really. Western prostitutes tend to be a lot more emotionally detached than Thai girls who often consider themselves to be rented girlfriends or wives, rather than purely sex objects.

hmm, if that is what you need to tell yourself, then sure

Shouldnt his mum be helping him find a girlfriend to help develop his relationship skills rather than the emphasis being about sex?

Geez..i guess im old fashioned or something....

I've seen Down's couples before. Is mum hammering the peg in a bit too high?

I saw a documentary a long long time ago about Down Syndrome couples. Many go on to live successfully independent lives together (with little outside help, mainly in the form of just checking up on them to make sure all is well). Looking after each other, helping each other, cooking, cleaning, holding down jobs etc. Im not saying that a person with downs should or could only have a relationship with someone else who has downs or course, just saying that it does work.

My concern is not who he may form a relationship with, but the fact the mother is emphasising sex rather than helping him form a relationship with someone (which personally I think would help him more in life..then again I could be wrong).

Actually, that rings bells; I think I saw that one too. I should have thought that if the mother was so active in DS circles that she would try to find him a partner there.

Hmm, I was wondering.

If she really ends up drawing a blank, she could always contact the young lad that fancies dogs.

Just a thought...

OH Lord Mick! Bad taste! Really bad taste! Take yourself to the corner of the room and think about what you just said.

Oh My!

If this works.....I'm e-mailing my dad !!!!

And why limit to girls.

Isn't it little bit homophobic.

People with Down Syndrome cannot be gay???

No, Down Syndrome people are 'normal'!

I'm kidding!!!

Oh My!

I know, eek, I know. My finger hovered over the left mouse button for an instant whilst I dithered a bit, hesitating to click "Add Reply".

Then I thought, "Ah, &lt;deleted&gt; it."

I think that's what the lad's mum said, too.

They were interviewed on ITV Breakfast programme yesterday morning. Will try and find a link.

I think she should just leave the poor guy alone - when it happens it will happen.... What's she going to do- video the happy event? Or tape it like Dogboy?

Only if they were doing it doggy style.
