Posted: 3/31/2008 1:17:27 PM | I think the guy should bring the condoms. If anything, it's for his own protection.
I also think women should not feel turned off or put off if he stops somewhere to get condoms en route to wherever you both are going to have sex. At least he's being safe as opposed to trying to convince you that he'll pull out in time.  | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 3:13:15 PM | | Well i guess there are 2 camps on this issue. Guys responsibilty or joint responsibilty. I'm assuming the opportunity eluded to in the opening thread was at neither person residence, certainly not at his cause as guys, we all have like 3 or 4 boxes at home. Not kidding, if you have to stand in line at the drugstore or supermarket with these goodies then you might as well buy an armful and get it over with. You can be guaranteed when you arrive at the checkout the person in front of you is your priest /minister, and the woman behind you your 5th grade teacher. All made worse when the cashier picks up the phone and screams price check on the condoms. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 3:23:49 PM | | I personally don't care that I had to pay for my own birth control... it's still peace of mind to have the condoms in my own hands on top of that. My depo shots only prevent pregnancy (and eliminate my periods) so with people I don't know well enough condoms are still a must if I don't want to catch anything unpleasant. I spend $240 a year on my shots, an extra $25 isn't going to kill me for a few boxes of condoms. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 5:33:53 PM | | I think it's a shared responsibility. And hell, last time the boy and I didn't have any condoms, we went out and bought some and went back to his house for our fun. Everyone should be willing to take responsibility for safer sex. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 6:14:16 PM | | It's the mans responsability. I say this because until we are intimate, I don't know what size to get for him and I'm assuming he does. Therefore, it's his responsability. | |

If you don't want to DIE, bring YOUR OWN ****ING RUBBERS.
However, there are a few of us guys that do this because of TWO reasons:
(A)Size Matters, and if I leave it to her, she will buy low quality, and WAY too small.
-(The Magnum XL Gentlemen like me know what I am saying)
(B)I like not dying. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 5:56:05 AM | | Considering how available condoms are it would have been just as easy for her to bring one,especially if she knew she wanted to have sex. I always made sure I had a couple with me when I was dating someone,but I can't actually recall even one time the lady brought one. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 6:51:41 AM | | This i feel is an easy answer, We all have sex whether straight, bi or gay, male or female, therefore we should all play our part in being responsible. men for years have left the responsibility to woman with the pill, but its more of an equal world now and with std's we all have to play apart. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 10:09:57 AM | | Why would you sleep with anyone you don't trust and feel you have to protect yourself from? If I thought there was some chance of a guy having some disease I don't think I would date him. I want someone who hasn't slept with everyone in town. If I have to protect myself from someone, then I would rather just stay away. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 10:58:50 AM | | i think men and women both have a personal responsibility to practice safe sex...and that means packing protection. for guys, it should be noted, if you carry yours in your wallet...body heat can reduce the strength of the latex over time -- so for all those starving virgin boys who carry the same condom in their back pocket for years, hunny you're playing russian roulette with your sperm. as for the girls who worry that carrying condoms makes them look slutty...would you rather stress about STDs or an unwanted pregnancy? the simple answer is...male, female, makes no difference...you're responsible for yourself, so carry your own condoms. | |

A large percentage of people with STDs have no symptoms and have no idea they have the diseases in the first place. If they can't tell, how do you think you could possibly know? It's not a trust issue, it's a matter of common sense. It only takes sleeping with an infected partner once with no protection to contract something.
Additionally, I have no desire to be pregnant at this time, nor do I want to be putting hormones into my body on a daily basis. It's a viable birth control option, but not one I want to use; so until I have a monogamous or fluid-bonded partner (both with recent, negative STD tests and the papers to prove it) and the copper IUD I've been interested in for a while, it's condoms all the way. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 12:13:54 PM | ^^^ i disagree.
it is about trust...trusting and knowing that the other person is responsible and mature enough to get themselves tested regularly, and not just one of those people who blindly believes and hopes that it would never happen to them. no symptoms doesn't mean you're clean...get yourself to the clinic, make sure your partners are equally responsible, and be honest with each other. | |

Posted: 5/7/2008 5:50:46 PM | | Just an observation. I usually carry a condom but in the pursuit of love perhaps her suitor was not prepared because he thought the 'time' had not arrived therefore he was not prepared. PS I don't know what the Scout motto is but I was a Cub and their motto was "Be Prepared". | |
