I know this may sound stupid and all... But I kinda worry about buying condoms. Ive never had sex before, and I have never bought them before. I just got a gf. I haven't had one in 4 years, and It wasn't a serious relationship (partly because I was in 7th grade)... Anyway, so Im 17 and a high school JR. I just got a gf and things are moving along great..
But I know soon, we are going to get to the point now where we have sex... Very soon (because now we are doing a lot of foreplay). Anyway, I heard about free ones online, or even buying them online.
But I check the mail mostly, but I just worry that its going to be noticable if my mom sees a package to me if it has sex related information (like a return adress to some sex company) on it... I just want to know if a place online is very very discreet. Because I want to be safe, and I wont have sex unless its safe. But i cant have my mom find out yet...
I dunno what to do...
I wouldnt assume that unless you had actually had the snip! Take precautions or you may end up a father
Well you know, being on BC just takes care of everything alone.
Or you know.... not...
I'm pretty sure with all the substances I used to abuse I'm close to sterile anyways. Plus the only two girls I've been with were on the pill. No I don't want kids, but if it happens I'll be responsible about it.
Maybe he is waiting till marriage? then again, maybe not
I don't like condoms...takes some (not much) of the feeling away. And I don't sleep with a girl I wouldn't want kids with.
yea but do you plan on having like 15 kids? =\
I agree with Brandye... IF you want to have sex, then you need to be adult enough to buy condoms. It's really not a big deal. I doubt seriously that anyone will notice. Here's a hint, though, (since I want to make SURE that you get them rather than not)... if you have a grocery store (like Kroger) or a department store (like Wal-mart) most of them have check-it-yourself lines now. You go to the pharmacy section, pick up what you need and scan it yourself. No one else will ever see what you bought.
Just something to think on... if you are embarrassed by condoms, imagine how much more embarrassed you will be to go to the doctor with an STD. Or to the gyno with your girlfriend to find out if she's pregnant.
It's much easier to just buy the condoms.
I bought my first box online. It was just easier for me to do so as rarely do I go to the store without my mom.
But buying them online you have to wait for them to arrive, you have to pay for shipping. They do however come in discreet packaging so unless a parent opens the mail, they don't know what's in it.
But when you go to the store, they're right there and you don't have to wait.
So I say do what works for you, just make sure you get them.
These two have given you good advice.
If you are not ready to buy condoms over the counter, you are not ready to be sexually active. Are you ready to sweat out her period each month?
Your better off buying them from a store near you…avoid the ones in gas station bathroom dispenser things, those are mostly just novelties…if you have like cub foods or some store with a pharmacy that’s your best bet
yeah buy them from a drug store or wal mart or something. Just make sure you get them. you don't want to go through what i'm going through right now. and you might wanna get the ones with spermicide on them if she isnt on the pill. Although she should look into that as well. It saves a lot of agony later on. the last thing you need at your age is a baby. And remember go slow and just because she engages in the foreplay doesn't mean she's ready for the sex so ask her if she's really ready and this is what she wants. Sex is emotional for girls and she needs to be able to handle how she's going to feel afterwards.
