Buying Condoms

Anyone else have a problem with it. I always feel so damn embarrassed. I can't even stand in front of the section if there's someone else in the aisle.

The other night I walked around the Drug store for 5 minutes waiting for the aisle to empty before I made my move. Then I made sure to buy a few magazines and a couple cases of pop before I went to the register to pay. I had a choice between a older cashier and a younger one. I chose the older one figuiring she would understand.

Thats why I usually buy the 3 pack at Costco. It usually gets mixed in with several other items. But when in a pinch....

Shit, stand proud when you're buying condoms; it means you're getting laid.

KY on the other hand ...

You're thinking about it way too much.

I like to buy condoms, vaseline, and any sort of phalic fruit (zukini squash, bananas, etc.) at the same time. That always gets a crazy look from the cashier.

And buy the 24-pack. If you're going to buy them, let everyone know that you need A LOT of condoms.

really? hmmm I feel the direct opposite. I can't wait to get in that line with a hot chick next to me. Cuz it's a sign that I practice SAFE SEX and I'm getting laid. I usually buy those big bulky packs.. you know 30 pack shit. I'm always excited and proud! I once had this lady commenting "you're going to use all that?"

my response was " HELLZ YEAH "

They 24- and 36-packs. I think you have to go to a drugstore to get those; not a supermarket.

I was at a drugstore.

To be honest I don't stand there and examine the rack since I'm nervous as is. I look for what I need, throw the pack in the carriage as fast as possible and run away.

Maybe I should start going closer to midnight when they close.

When I was in HS I would go into stores that had girls from my HS running the register. I would be sure to pick up a pack of condoms, even if I didn't need them (which was usually the case).

That's funny.....I don't think about it. I get them with my regular man items at the same time. I once got them in Publix along with some milk. The older female cashier gave me this look that was priceless
If you really have a problem you can order them online.

Online ordering is a good idea but shipping will be about equal to the cost of the condoms would it not?

In the end I can go out and but them but I just don't feel comfortable doing it. Am I the only one?

I've bought them online. Amazon had $20 off $100 in health products, so I said what the hell. Basically, I got the condoms for free.

And shipping is free.

I have no clue how long condoms keep. 5 years might be pushing it. 2 years shoudl be ok

I assumed you were doing it at least 5 times a week

No. They do have expiration dates. 2 years, I think.
