| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 7/16/2007 10:19:50 PM | Nah, like most things, once you do it a few times the tension vanishes. You would hate shopping with me - I once grabbed 2 armfuls of douche off the shelf and ran up to my ex saying "Do you think this will be enough??". He thought it was funny after, but during he gave me one of those looks. I don't even use the stuff I just thought it might make him laugh because we were arguing. At least condoms aren't a prescription for an std medication, nothing wrong with being proactive, which would you rather be buying. Just go in there like a pro if you can't find em and say I'm out of condoms, what aisle are they in? You are OUT, the truth may be that they were never IN, but the store clerk has no clue. Read the boxes, take your time, enjoy the moment. Then toss them in your cart with attitude oh and stay away from lambskin and go for nonoxynol 9. :P | |

| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 7/16/2007 10:23:56 PM | yeah i am with the last guy... but seriously,,,, even THAT is kinda embarassing!
i had to return a box to Costco once for the same reason (42 condoms that are too small is quite a useless investment.. and i had a g/f of 5+yrs at the time so dont get the wrong idea and think that replying to this thread means i am a slut or something... quite the opposite) | |

| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 8/5/2007 2:28:06 PM | | when i was 14 i was. other then that no. the person selling me the condoms doesnt care. maybe if my grandma worked at the store i was buying i would think different but no why? if you cant buy them with pride your not ready for sex. | |

| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 8/5/2007 5:47:43 PM | | Why would you even be embarrassed to buy condoms? Your buying them for a reason and it's to protect you. You should look at it this way. If your going to a store to buy a single or a pack of condoms and your standing in line, if there are people your age behind you, think who's getting the ****... you are, Don't think about whats going on in people's heads, your getting the sexual pleasure, not them... | |

| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 8/5/2007 6:37:29 PM | Hahaha, My girl and I went to the store to pick out some gear, we got to the cashier and it was a girl we both new, it wasn't the condoms, but the lube that was a bit awkward. Nothing embarrasing about protting yourself from the HIV and other things.. | |

| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 8/6/2007 1:22:02 AM | yes i always have someone else do it i know it sounds wierd to a lot of people but i think its the fact that everyone in school used to tell me id never get some and i still have that torment in my head (and i have a kid?) like i said i dont even get it i know its wierd but im pretty sure im not the only guy that cant buy his own rubbers (which i probably wouldnt use anyway) | |

| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 8/6/2007 4:48:52 AM | | Yup I was young and made my boyfriend (at the time) go into the gas station and buy them for me. Now I've found out they come more free if you ask your doctor for some. they are very pro-protection! | |

| Were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 10/21/2007 9:44:47 PM | | YES! I was late for the date and I thought having sex might be a possibility, so I stopped at the store for, ahem... protection. Wouldn't you know it? This store, like no other store I've seen, keeps all their condoms under lock and key!!!! So I had to go to the counter and ask for assistance. I simply said, face flaming, I'm sure, that I needed assistance on aisle 8. Here comes the twenty-something guy. Face gets even redder as I tell him what I want. He smiles and knowingly unlocked the cabinet while asking me if I know what I want yet. Dang!!!! "Just let me look at them." I did, but he was standing there grinning. My date had made a few veiled references to his large size, so, believing him, I finally grabbed some large ones. The guy looked at me and said, "Ahhhhh...." It was awful!!!!! Geezzzzz.... | |

| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 10/21/2007 9:49:52 PM | Nope...whenever I go to the pharmacy store, I actually use this as an ice breaker. I ask the store assistant (usually a cute chick who looks above 18) where the condoms are...she then either tells me the aisle number or shows me personally. If it's the former I tell her to show me where they are...
Once we reach the aisle, I tell her, "Wow, you've got a helluva lotta new brands on here - any recommendations?" - and at that point I look at her seductively. She then either giggles and tells a couple of recommendations and then I chat her up some more and get her number or she just points to one and then runs away.
Either way, you've got nothing to lose... | |

| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 10/30/2007 6:31:23 AM | | Unfortunately, they're on a shelf right in front of the pharmacy in the local Wal-Mart. So are all the other sex aides...like warming gel, etc. I don't like to just go and grab. I like to look at the stuff and see what's available...read the packages. Invariably, the bench directly in front of the "sex shelf" is filled with old geezers who stare as I look at different sizes, colors, ribbed, etc. And yeh, it is sort of embarrassing. | |

| were you ever embarrassed to buy condoms? Posted: 11/8/2007 6:22:41 AM | Oh yeah!! When I was 18 and staying in Belgium with my girlfriend, she was Dutch, at her familys house in Brussels, High school Grad present, we were in a coastal village in Holland she told me what to say in Dutch to buy comdons at the drug store, right? What she diden't tell me was how odd it would be for an 18yr old American in 1974 to do such a thing with such bad Dutch, and in a conservative village. I got the strangest stares from these ladies, they were the pharmacisits, and snickers when bought them. Then I get outside and find her around the corner damn near on the ground in sticthes, laughing her butt off at what she know would happen. What cold Isay but, "yeah you got me" Mark | |

Posted: 11/8/2007 6:57:21 AM | I don't get embarassed, but the store i usually buy them at, the smart ass chick running the counter always has some wise ass sh*t to say when i buy them like "ohh new girl again?"... and i usually snap back with "yep.. tell yer mom i apologize but i had to move on.. no hard feelings"
