Have you ever bought Condoms?

[Deleted]

I don't even see why it would be embarrassing, everyone around you knows you're probably getting laid, just be like "deal with it".

The first time I bought it was really awkward.

- My friend who was with me thought I kinda was a jerk, because acording to him "Now everyone in there thinks we're gay". I never thought of that, nor cared.
- The boyfriend of a friend of my girlfriend saw it. He told his GF her friend's boyfriend bought condoms, they thought it was funny somehow, so my GF said she didn't want to do it that night because "everyone knew". Well GJ bitch, cause after that everyone thought we fucked when we didn't.

In the end we broke up before I got to use the condoms on her.

Most guys use the condoms on themselves, like an enchantment for their sword, to put it in gaming terms.

I'm not entirely sure how you would 'use a condom on her'. Please clarify?

I buy lube and condoms all the time at a drugstore and no one has ever gave me weird looks when buying either of them... And why should they? LMAO!!! What? You think a cashier is laughing at you behind your back after she checks out stuff you use for sex and whacking off or is thinking that you are some weirdo? Hell, even in high school I would sometimes buy a pack of trojans when I would have the dude at the counter ring up my giant slushie and bag of doritos >_>

I've never understood people that are too scared to buy something as simple as a pack of condoms, if you feel ashamed/embarrassed for buying them then you should not be having sex at all as I see it.

At Uni I always went to buy them with one of my male mates with me, while also making sure I brought other items to make the cashier feel as awkward as possible, I think the best example was in fact the first time, when it was purely accidental, and non of the items were related in the slightest - well not the reason I'd brought them...

Box of Condoms - for obvious reasons
Cucumber - just because I'd forgotten to get one when I went shopping the day before
and last, but not least
KY Jelly - which was actually for my new wakeboard bindings, the style of them needed breaking in, so they were going to be very tight for the first couple of weeks, so I needed some lubricant to help get my feet in, and it had to be water based - KY was a whole lot cheaper than the stuff they sold at the wakeboard shop...

yeh the cashier couldn't look me and my mate in the eye on that transaction . . .

Nope never felt embarrassed about it. having a safe and healthy sex life isn't anything to be scared of when purchasing them.

[snaek]

It's sad how society somehow makes it embarrassing for certain people to buy condoms. It should be praised if anything.

Either way, I don't think I ever felt embarrassed buying them. Then again our stores have machines placed at the entrance to which we simply buy "tickets" over the counter. When fed into this machine it pops out whatever it is we wanted, be that condoms, smokes, cigars, etc. Basically machines for anything people might feel embarrassed about. Convenient as hell.

Meh I've never found it embarassing except when I had to buy my first pack at 16 and I couldn't find them so I had to ask the old lady at the counter and then had to choose a size. Now I chuck them in the cart along with everything else most cashiers are so bored they don't even know what they're scanning.

It is fun when I go out to specifically to get a pack. In that scenario I always buy a larger size, a random piece of fruit or vegetable and some random magazine. Pet lifestyle or a cooking mag usually and I just stare the cashier straight in the eye.

i bet you thought that was clever

he was obviously going to stuff them down her throat and gag her with them

but ot: yes, i have bought condoms before. no big.

[Shoekron]

Of course I've bought condoms; they're by far the least invasive birth control option and me / the wife are not going to have kids until we're good and ready.

[Dyra]

Being British, both myself and the cashier are both as equally as embarrassed as each other. So transactions happen without looking each other in the eye.

[Knude]

First time I bought an assorted pack with a friend for giggles, keeping one each and using the rest for pranks, the only embarrassing part was that the cashier was a guy from school that had a crush on me. Every other time since I haven't really been embarrassed, but I prefer to use self-service in supermarkets.

[PizzaSHARK]

No, no I have never. But, throughout school they always handed a bunch out, and you get them during ze Food festival too for some reason!

Probably to go with dessert. They handed them out in school? Why can't we be as mature about it as yall? :/

How does being British factor into it?

I just get the King-Maxi-Anaconda size packet and throw that bad boy on the counter. Who cares you only have to roll them out 1/3 of the way, still looks boss buying them

[PizzaSHARK]

I filled them with water to have something to play wiz. Like a durable water balloon.

And not sure! I know at least like 4 occasions they gave us all condoms in school

Rubbers are actually useful for a lot of things besides their intended use. They make excellent water bladders for carrying water around (backpacking, camping, etc.)

[Jackmoves]

I have as an adult, not used condoms in a long time though, never liked them. Gf got it covered... until she hasn't. ;P
I used to get mine for free from the school clinic next door when I was in my teenage years, so back then it was no need.

[Holofernes]

its normal to buy condoms, like i buy cigarettes or coffee at the supermarket. in fresh relationship i used to buy them on a weekly basis, later if u have a stable relationship u can trust on other means of not causing pregnancy and ave no need to protect yourself / your partner from possible diseases. sometimes the person at the check gives u an eye, and wishes u fun. thats about it.

[kassy]

they're a sign of being responsible, nothing more. why get embarassed?

[Beefhammer]

Implying store clerks are actively paying attention/care about what their customers are buying (Ive spent too much time in retail as a kid).

I bought them once, they were a industrial pack of like 100 of them. Being the promiscuous little ass I used to be, I figured I'd of used them all by the end of the summer.

I still had half the box by the time I left my parents house almost 6 years later.

This used to happen at the video store I frequented as a brand new adult who was finally able to go in the back room for porn movies. This was all before the internet was common. I would get looks of disgust from the girl at the front counter. I did ask her why, if she had a big deal with people renting porn, did she work there? After that I used to rent the ones with the most shocking titles just to see her reaction.

But back on topic, yes I buy condoms all the time. I feel as a man it is my responsibility not to spread my seed around if I do not want kids.

[Wishblade]

Yeah, I buy them in stores. I just grab them with whatever else I'm off to buy without much care. I'm in my own little world anyway so I just get it over with to avoid any awkward moments or fancy remarks about it.
