Recently my friend, who has not long become a mother about 5months ago, asked me if I wanted to have sex with her to lose my virginity, but this was only because she hasn't had sex in a while.

I know her a decent amount and but I'm not sure if she was being serious or not. I've never had anybody ask me something like this before, especially infront of our other friends and straight off the bat. My friends are telling me to go for it but I'm nor sure if they are being serious or not either.

Would it be a good idea to say yes to her or to ask her if she was being serious? I haven't spoken to my friends yet because I am anxious about whether or not the are joking about going for it and I don't want to make myself look like an idiot or stupid for thinking she actually meant it.

UPDATE: June 4th 2014

I was going to leave it and just somewhat ignore what she said but again a few nights ago I was at hers with friends and she brought it up again, the same was as the first time, in a humorous manner.

I have never been very good at reading the hints given by women towards me but I still seem to be mixed on this one.

Any help and advice about this kind of subject would be great.
