| Why does carrying protection on my person at all times make me a whore?! Posted: 1/1/2008 11:10:19 AM | | Not only my ex but a few of my female friends have commented that the fact that I carry a condom in every one of my jackets and my wallet and my car is disgusting and that I am shaming myself because of it. Apparently it makes me a whore for trying to protect myself. I don't do the hook-up scene at the bars. I have a couple times and it's not my style. I do date a lot, but for the most part casually and rarely is there two women at the same time. There may be a bit of overlap. But I think I'm being responsible by ensuring that I won't ever be in a position where I don't have a condom. If I didn't have one and the opportunity presented itself I'd walk away from the sex, and that would be a travesty! LOL So what's wrong with me wanting to ensure I'm covered on all bases? I don't carry a value pack of jimmy hats on my persons or anything! No Stiffler packs in my wallet. Just a single in every inside coat pocket, in my wallet, and in my glove box. Tell me if I'm wrong here. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 11:39:44 AM | | hmmmmm... why do people always say something they do isn't like them? you have sex with multiple women or bar hookups... so what... not sure if this is really a disguised self promotion thread... either way... carrying condoms implies that you think you will be having sex.... and since you are not in a relationship... it does come off as a little easy.... but if you are having random sex... well..... | |

| Why does carrying protection on my person at all times make me a whore?! Posted: 1/1/2008 12:04:28 PM | | I don't give a shit what other's think! I'm confident and have high self-esteem. I wouldn't say I have random sex. I did say I've done the hookup thing a couple times at the bar but that's not my style generally, but many dates end up physical for me. My ex and I get along famously as friends but anytime the topic of sex comes up, whether she or I bring it up or someone else in teh conversation, I am not shy about my thoughts and feelings on the topic. Nothing is taboo with me. I dont' kiss and tell, but I will give me opinion or feelings on a subject gladly. And in getting something out of my car or jacket she's discovered the condoms and asked why. She constantly makes reference to them. For instance, if we are over at a friend's place and someone asks if I've got gum or mints I'll tell them to get them from my jacket. She'll pipe up and say "what out for the stash of condoms in the inside pocket!" and giggle, and then I get hammered from all corners as to why I feel the need to carry them around with me! Let me put it into perspective in a different way. If you meet someone at a grocery store and head off for a coffee or a drink afterward and things go really well and suddenly you find yourself kissing in the car or outside the bar afterward and she invites you back to your place, how readily available are condoms at that point? Asking her to stop by the convenience store so you can grab something kills the mood, even if you are upfront and say it's condoms. Passion waits for nothing. And living in a small community it can be very difficult to find condoms outside of a drug store or supermarket. Not every Co-op sells them, nor do the bars all have vending machines in the bathrooms here. So I make sure I'm covered. And yes, I do make sure they're not sitting there dormant for months on end. It's not like I've got 5 coats on the go. I keep one in the two main coats I wear during that season, and then one in the car. It's also nice to have on hand when a friend is looking like he's going to leave the bar. I have some friends that aren't so careful and if there's no rubber handly they'd go without. So I often shove one in their pocket discretely before they leave with the girl. | |

I believe most forum followers tend to check the profiles of the people who post threads to see who they are dealing with briefly and to maybe find any flaws in their arguments, as we are all cynics at heart! If you read my profile you'll find I list my intentions as looking for friends, and state I'm not looking for serious relationships and am dating currently. Although I did make the mistake of sending a message to someone listed as wanting intimate encounters to comment about something in their profile that made me laugh and now I'm restricted from messaging people who do not allow those who contact others for sex. I think that's unfair and had I known that I wouldn't have sent the message. Oh well, c'est la vie!
I don't consider myself easy at all. I have a lot of will power and restraint. I can say no. But I see nothing wrong with a healthy sex life, and I want to protect myself and be careful about it. | |

Seriously, I don't see that carrying "Protection" is a bad thing. One never knows in this crazy thing we call life what may happen day to day. Now, if you justify it that your friends aren't as prepared as you are and that's why you carry them... Well, good luck with that delusion. | |

It makes you safe and prepared.
My son is 14, still a virgin (amazingly, since girls are all over him all the freaking time) and I make him carry one with him at all times. I don't expect him to need it unexpectedly, but you never know and it is FAR better to be safe then sorry. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 12:47:38 PM | | Hopefully your son's carrying a condom is not a replacement for you teaching him right from wrong and explaining why he should wait before risking becoming a father. I am more comfortable with teaching kids morals and responsibility in life before responsibility in sex. 14 year olds don't need to be having sex. They need to concentrate on finishing grade school. | |

Posted: 1/1/2008 12:50:17 PM | Not only my ex but a few of my female friends have commented that the fact that I carry a small bottle of whiskey in every one of my jackets and my car is disgusting and that I am shaming myself because of it. Apparently it makes me an alcoholic! I don't do the 'get drunk and fall down' scene at the bars. I have a couple times and it's not my style. I do go to bars a lot, but for the most part casually and rarely is there two drinks at the same time. There may be a bit of overlap. But I think I'm being responsible by ensuring that I won't ever be in a position where I don't have a drink if I need it. LOL So what's wrong with me wanting to ensure I'm covered on all bases? I don't carry a huge case of liquor my persons or anything! . Just a small bottle in every inside coat pocket, and in my glove box. Tell me if I'm wrong here.
Try looking at your post this way OP
yours
just a cynical guy | |

Please list for me 5 examples of when you "need" a drink.
Note I said "need", not want.
I am not Carrie Nation, but nobody should ever "need" a drink. If life sucks so bad that you need to mask reality with alcohol, work on your life, not your flask. | |

Well.. I guess you'll have the last laugh when you DON'T catch some STD, right?
Just don't keep the same one for 5 years and expect it to save you.

He's promoting himself as a guy who practices safe sex. I wish all self-promo threads were like this. Then I'd never vote to delete them. | |

That is because they believe that having access to condoms means you must be having sex or at least prepared to have sex which in their mind is disgusting when anyone but them is having sex. Their sex is always wonderful. But if you have it, or are even PREPARED for having it, then you are horrible. It is people with sexual hangups. For them there is all this processing surrounding sex an it is huge. I mean, do they have a courtship and ceremony when they buy a new vibrator, for Pete's sake? And promise never to use two .. only one and to formally retire that one before ever using another one? No, of course not, but they expect that with humans.
Want to really spin them up? Carry an OPENED condom wrapper in each coat too. That will freak them right the heck out. | |
