Hi Blue, and welcome.

Section 3-605. 10. 20. 22. 24. 26. 50. 70. 80. of the Dating Handbook specifies: "All participants, be they male, female, or otherwise, engaging in sexual conduct shall provide for adequate penile protection...

Really...why is it just his job? It takes both of you to have sex, and it's the responsible thing for you to be prepared so that you don't become pregnant. You should also use a spermicidal gel or foam even with the comdom.
Don't feel weird about, just do it. Won't he be surprised.

Take care, have fun, and be safe.

Three-qusrters of all condoms and nearly 100% of all other contraceptives are purchased by women. That is a fact but not necessarily the way it should be. If he wants sex, he needs to take partial responsibility. A good habit for any person to have.

As a teen, I had an agreement with partners: they bought the condoms; I bought the vaginal jelly.

As a matter of lifelong practice, I always have condoms available. Even today with my tubes tied and I am traveling, I may be tempted and do not want to pass anything worthwhile because of lack of preparation for safe sex.

Make HIM buy the condoms. You take care of the spermicide in you.

I buy them... but there's issues for us that play into it and that's why I buy them instead of him.

Best if you BOTH buy then, then u wont get caught out

Sometimes I've been the one who bought them, sometimes he has bought them and other times we've actually been in the store together and bought them. There's no rule that says who has to buy the condoms. If you want to buy them then go buy them.

I tend to buy the condoms, but my partner buys them too. If you're too embarrassed, get them online, bulk. Much easier, and cheaper actually... its no one in particular's responsibility. In fact, I think both should. If you're not mature enough to buy a condom, you're not mature enough to be having sex. or thats what I think...

You can buy condoms online as well, no need to worry about bumping into your family at the shops while buying them!
