Buying condoms

---

That reminded me. Close to where i live we have what's called a "Talk Shop" that's like a clinic that focuses on sex education and birthcontrol. Right as you walk through the door there's a basket of condoms and a basket of lube! Free for anyone who wanders in. It's like a buffet.

Some of the condoms that are given away at family planning clinics are of very poor quality (according to Consumer Reports), and tend to break easily. I'd stick to the name brands. (I mean that figuratively.)

Oh we're aware of that...they only give away Hardcovers and we like Trojan. We use those for anal play, masturbation, or just playing around. I remember one time, I peed in a condom in the bathtub f a hotel and then my bf spilled it on the floor. I would have helped clean it up...but i was too busy laughing (slight side effect of alcohol).

yeah looking back on that i cant do anything but laugh lol fun night that was !

okay look i know a lot of people have been like oh the cashiers don't care... and while at some places that may be true... I work AT A CVS...and it is really funny sometimes when people are buying like 3 boxes of magnom XXL condoms so as cashiers we do tend to joke about it but only between ourselves... you really shoulden't be worried about buying them it makes my day a little more interesting to know somebody is getting some... LOL

i havnt ever really minded buying them, its kinda funny looking at the expression of the cashiers face, bcos no matter what anyone says it is a taboo, and it kinda funny when the cashier is some old lady who thinks the youth of today are awful blah blah blah. i say just go for it!

what is it exactly that ebarresses you ?think of it this way when you buy them people look at you is that it?who cares! its bragging rights "I GOT A WOMAN" or err man for some of you I guess. shit I get sent to the store for my g/f all the time. she works full time and goes to school so alot of stuff falls to me to take care of. Iv bought panty hose tampons and anything else you can think of. Shit Ill walk down the aisles yelling " I got a woman" what are they gonna think they are for me? you cn get them online btw, I dont remember where but you can send for a free sample kit with a buncha them in it. secondly if it really bothers so much then make it easy and buy the biggest box you can if you think youll go thru them before they rot. that way one less trip to the store you gotta make to do something you hate. if your getting them for any source at all check the damned dates! they have experation dates just like food does. and pay attention to how you take care of them. toss em in a wallet is asking for a break in them. too much heat etc. etc. check out the online sample thing I bet you could find it through googling free condoms or something close to it and in the mean time get some at the local vending machine in the shitters at various gas stations till you ca get a supply and dont havta go so often for them

LOL, I went to buy some one time. I grabbed a 12 pack off the shelf, and started walking towards the line. I freaked, and shoved them in my pocket and walked out. Two clerks followed me out, I think they saw me, and right when I got out of the store there was a bad car accident right in front of the store and they ran back in to call 911. Lucked out!

First of all, relax!Even if you're young, you aren't the first one having sex and need a condom, neither the last one!Of course you fear. I assume that you fear what the others would think about you, when you buy a condom. "Sexually active" sounds heavy...BUT, on the other hand you have to buy your own condoms. It's your right to do it, you're free to do it and no one can judge you since it's almost necessary to wear a condom for having sex. Don't forget also that many many people (young, old, men, women) buy thousands of condoms every day. So, you 're not requesting anything unusual..I also fear sometimes to buy condoms. I prefer stores that my relatives don't visit, and I almost never buy condoms from women (I'm afraid what they could think about me sometimes and men have different points of view about sex). I know I'm wrong, but that's how I feel!

i think its fun buying condoms, lol where i live we have a condom shop, you can pick and mix

shuddup?? Really? Now that WOULD be fun LoL!

There's Condom World on Newbury Street in Boston.

>>>shuddup?? Really? Now that WOULD be fun LoL!

i know! it is, you can get all different flavoured condoms and lube, its great.

Umm, doesn't every sex store have the condom buffet? Condom Shack, The Stag Shop, Aren't We Naughty etc...

Not the porn stores around my area. You can buy condoms there but just the same boxed condoms you would get at the drug store.I want condom buffet! LOL

Well then get your @$$ across the boarder and take a walk downtown up Yonge Street!!

I just might have to do that!! =-D

And I want to be the fly on the wall when he tells the boarder guard that the reason for his trip into Canada is to purchase condoms. Can't find what I want in the US.

Lol. the first time I bought condoms I was really embarressed. I went with a friend from the dorm to the corner store. I decided to suck it up and ask the guy at the checkout counter for his recommendation (I'm a girl) and that lightened the mood. My friend and I laughed so hard when we left! After that it was no big deal, but I got really mad when my boyfriend (who was 3.5 years younger than me) refused to stand in line with me at the store when I bought them another time!

I guess AGE matters on this becuase i don't think ages 13-16 have that problem cuase i'm 16 and i don't have a problem.. i tend to walk around wal-mart with them.. saying yea.. i'm getting sum tonight.. lol
