What are these "condoms" that you speak of?
Hey, when I was 14 my father had me go into the supermarket and buy tampons for his girlfriend, who was also in the car. Whatever. Fast forward a dozen years and I'm in Paris on a weekend trip and my girlfriend wakes up to discover that SHE needs tampons. So first I have to ask at the front desk where to find a pharmacy, and then I have to ask the girl behind the counter for them in my rusty French , because they keep everything behind the counter. And that's all nothing, because on two separate occasions I've had my scrotum shaved as prep for surgery, once by a guy and once by a girl, as supposedly the male nurse was "busy." Yeah, right.
Actually, that's #9 on this list from Food Marketing Institute. Advil 50 Count tablets are #1 in US, followed by it's 100 count brethren. I figured Sudafed would rank much higher than #11, though. But, in the UK... Gillette Mach 3 razor blades are #1.
I think there is some strange facination with making guys feel embarrised while buying condomn's. On the other hand it's a good idea these days and might save your ass. Buy a dozen or two at a time and that will ease the pain.
What did y'all do, though, when you were in high school (if you had the need for them, that is? ) I'd imagine it would suck to have the cashier be your girlfriend's aunt you meet at Christmas dinner two weeks afterwards!
Just go to Costco and get them in boxes of 14,400. You'll only have to go through the embarassment once.
Unless you're Ron Jeremy you'll be SOL in a year or so once they expire.. If you're old/mature enough to be having sex it shouldn't faze you to buy condoms in public..
There was a comic who had a joke about this. He said why be embarassed, just shout out "LOOK AT ME!!!! I'M HAVING SEX!!!"
Bought them OTC since I was 18 or 19 (there was no internet back in 1992). No big deal. I lived in LA back then, maybe if I was living in any Asian countries that would be different
At the grocery my father and I were standing in line behind a woman who had 4(!!!) large bottles of ****** packaged in something like a large family economy size pack. We dare not look at eachother as we wait in line because we both would have laughed uncontrollably. The woman pays and leaves and as we get to the cashier my Dad says "Boy! It must be a really bad case!"
There has been some very pro-active defense against Sudafed theft. A lot of places don't keep it out on the shelf anymore. When I worked Loss Prevention, meat was pretty close to #1 on the list, at least for Alaska. People here steal it and trade it for drugs, since it's easy to get out with $800-$1k worth of meat in one shopping cart.
Never ebarrassed. It's fun when the girl at the counter looks down at the Magnum XL box and then does that glance back at my wife, then my wife smiles and the girl tries to not say anything.
haven't needed them since the 90's (ran out of jizz) but last time i bought them (with an ex) we also purchased potatoes as we didn't have anyhting to go with the lamb chops for dinner. checkout chick seemed intrigued...
I go to an adult store called Condom Revolution, I am in there for probably the most innocent reason compared to what they carry in the store..
i buy them in stores...picked up a box of ribbed ones last week. this old indian lady was looking at me all funny
