Buying condoms...

[Needssome]

Does anyone else get nervous buying condoms? I can't stand it...I look around....look at stuff I don't want to buy...Keep an eye on the counter...When nobody else is in line I run over to the section, pick 'em up and pay for them as quickly as possible. It's like I have no problem talking about my sex life with friends (or the odd complete stranger on occasion) but I don't want the person at the counter knowing I have sex. Am I just weird or are there others out there like me. (okay.....I know I'm weird...)

YES YOU ARE WIERD....and no you aren't alone...although i've never bough condoms...i bought a sex toy once.....i didn't know what i wanted and had to ask the salesperson for help!!!!

Luckily she wasn't too nosy or judgemental...just the facts kinda lady....

I used to be like that. Now I could care less. Hey look Im gettin laid! Whooooo hooooooo!
I did however notice that in my grocery store there is an aisle it contains 'family planning', Feminine hygiene, and Baby products. It dawned on me almost every woman goes down that aisle because if she isnt using one, she doesnt need the other, and then in about 9 months she will need the other! Talk about convenience shopping

Funny...I've noticed something similar here. Usually on the shelf above the condoms are the pregnancy tests. It's kind of like buy one of each, if the condoms don't work than maybe the pregnancy test will.

Buying condoms .... I can't say I am shy about buying them.


But, usually he ends up buying them, he is not shy when it comes to that ...

Usually I try to get my man to buy them and he's not shy about it at all. In general, I find men a great deal less shy about buying them.

My SO is shy as hell when it comes to buying condoms. I used to be like that too until about a year and a half ago. Then I realized that I was of legal age to do anything and everything, so what am I being so shy about sex for? Now when I bring my comdoms to the counter, I give the male cashier an extra big smile when he hands me my change.

See I know I'm of legal age but my parents drilled into my head for so long that you should wait until marriage and that it's wrong not to, that I'm always afraid that the person at the counter will be looking at like there's something wrong with me. Plus I've been told at times I look like I'm 15.

when I was younger I was embarassed about buying condoms, tampons too, but it just doesn't phase me now.

The only time my man was shy when he had to buy them one time in the wee hours of the morning. He was complaining about the lady behind the register giving him a " look".

When he was telling me all this , I could not help but laugh, he of course did not think it was funny.

HOw's that for a contrast!

I feel like I'm under the microscope for NOT getting any!!! LOL

Love buying them, more fun to embarrass the sales person. If it is a lady and you get the "look", just tell them you have some spares if they are not busy later, that cures the "look".

 

[teddybear4play]

I love that feeling too. Especially when there's a guy at the counter. It's like "Yeah, I'm gettin' laid tonight."

My parents have the same beliefs that yours do. Needless to say, they still think I'm a virgin, and mom tells me, "Don't use tampons. They're for married people."

Who cares what the person behind the counter thinks? I think I look underage too (I always get ID'd). The way I see it is like this.. They can think whatever they want to, they can think "what a little slut," but if I'm buying condoms, then I'm a pretty damn responsible little slut.

I agree....being responsible is what is key. I must admit it's a bit easier to buy them up at school rather than at home. At home I'm always afraid I'll run into one of my mom's friends and they'll call my mother and then she'll come talk to me....argh.....too much pressure. My mom and her friends don't really seem to realize that I'm adult. One of them recently made a comment to my mother to the effect: "How do you trust her when she lives all alone and has a boyfriend?" I'm nearly 22.....but they still see me as a kid.

Curing shyness is easy if a Condom specialty shop is around, because almost everyone there is buying the same thing.

I know for a fact the persons working there don't really care about your buying condoms, and is they have a really knowedgable staff they can suggest the right ones for you.



Some good places to go.


East coast:

Condom Kingdom in Philly

Condom Gram in NYC

West Coast:

Condom Sense in Phoenix

Condom Mania in LA and Vegas

any other locations of such places you can PM me.

Yes........but you have to get the nerve to go into them. (None nearby for me anyways) My friend and I went into an adult video/stag shop to look for a Christmas present for her fiance. We were giggling so much it took us 10 minutes before we could go in. We had to walk around the block and everytime we looked at each other we cracked up. I still have as of yet to get the nerve to go back in there myself to look for a sex toy....

 

[Gawd]

We're supposed to pay for those?

I am just very embarrassed right now.

And how exactly having you been getting them otherwise? Are you a little shoplifter?

 

[rykdn]

i haven't bought condoms, but i imagine i would be a little embarrased... its my nature sometimes

 

[ShyGuy68]

Nope I'm not shy about buying condoms at all. But then again, I live in a country where you can buy hardcore XXX movies and magazines on a gas station, so it's not that big a deal here.

 

[Cibo]

I'm not that really shy about buying condoms. I think that it's good that you are tho, even if you are shy about it or not, shows you care about the person enough to not get her pregnant.

 

[Riles]

Call me strange, but my fiancé and I interchange with the "duty" of purchasing contraceptives, oral for me and condoms for him. Perhaps I'm just to practical about such matters, but I'm also not purchasing them at the local convenience store with the zit faced, 16 year old boy with the Penthouse magazine stashed behind the counter gawking at me.

My one buddy enjoys embarrassing people, and he would go to a drug store and buy condoms and then stand in line reading the labels aloud and muttering to himself, "Lubricated...do I need lubricated...wait...does she like the ribbed...wait...no, that's Lurlene who likes the ribbed, Gertrude likes the black mambas..."

A real asshole, but he would buy condoms for me and save me the trouble. But one night I went out after work and this one girl and I got very friendly, and when she invited me back to her apartment she asked me to stop at the grocery store. I didn't understand, but she said, "I need milk, and you need condoms." I didn't know until then that I was getting lucky, and that was a nice way to find out.

I was actually really embarrassed. I tossed the condoms in my basket, and I ended up burying them under milk, pretzels, toothpaste (I needed some anyway) and some other crap. I picked the line with the most bored-looking cashier and hustled through. It was the grocery store where I ususally do my shopping, and I had this idea that I was going to be filmed and my purchase recorded on some database for degenerates. Actually, the cashier didn't raise an eyebrow. I think she was so anesthetized by the job that I could have bought a latex love-doll and she would have flipped the thing over looking for the UPC symbol.

The big grocery stores around here have self-serve checkouts now. You scan your items, pay for 'em, and bag 'em yourself. A boon for those both easily embarrassed and about to get some. The only thing is, this computerized voice calls out each item you purchase. "Milk...$1.19...bagels, $2.29...LUBRICATED LATEX CONDOMS..."
