First real boyfriend at 17, serious relationships not too common,
"There was this one girl, cos we were in sixth form, who had the boyfriend...she used to tell us some of the things she used to do, she used to entertain us on wet lunch hours and I think she was a bit ahead of her time".
"As far as sex went on , I remember having a boyfriend when I was a bit older, before I went overseas, but in those days you just didn't do it, I was too scared
you'd get pregnant"
Unmarried mothers sent away to Bethany, babies adopted out.
