Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Now I will ask about women you have had sexual intercourse with in the last 12 months, apart from your wives. Think carefully. It can include girlfriends, women you had sex with once, women you gave money or gifts to for sex or women you did not want to have sex with.

Literal question

When was the FIRST TIME you had sex with her?
