condoms

[sexysurferchica]

hey, well at tha age of 13 i know it seems like a somewhat strange question for me to be asking but i was wondering how i should ask for condoms, of course i probally won't use them for a very long time, just in case something happens, as it did to my 16 year old friend, lea, how should I act when i go up to the register to buy condoms? any sugesstions? :banana:

[CatchTheWind]

Just pick out some condoms, go up, pay for 'em. You most likely won't get any questions.

'Least I didn't when I bought them when I was 14.

[meh_it_all]

I could buy them when I was 12, just go up and pay for them at the store.
It'll be fine, and good thinking on protection. ;)

[CatchTheWind]

Oh, and don't be paranoid. They're not going to card you or anything, or say "what are you going to use these for?". You'll be fine.

And yeah, good thinking.

Yeah she's right, don't fret it.

It was good thinking, more teenagers these days should be concerned about protection instead of abstinence, because that isn't the only way of protecting yourself.
You always do have to think about safe sex, not only from a pregnency side but a disease side too. Sexually transmitted diseases are on a high more than ever.


My good advice for today :tongue:

I thought I'd get strange looks or something, but for the most part, the ppl at the store don't care. They just ring em up and it's not a big deal. Just tell your mom you're going to the store for a new shirt or something, then when you get home take the bag up to your room and hide the condoms, then come down in the new shirt to show your mom. She'll never know. ;)

You should'nt worry about them looking at you funny. And - if you really feel like you have to tell your parents, then I think you should. What would happen if you did'nt tell them and they found them in your room? They might think you are having sex, and be pissed. I'm not trying to discourage you from buying condoms, because I think it is the smartest move you can ever make regarding sex. It's always better to be safe than sorry!

I suggest you don't lie to your mother. Be open with your mom, if you have good relationship. Tell your mother that you plan on waiting for a very long time, but you want to be protected if you find yourself feeling ready... Tell her that your starting to get curious about sex. Mom has defiantly been there before and most cases will be understanding. Tell her you want to be abstinent from sex for as long as you can... but you also want to have the option of keeping yourself safe. Tell her your worried and wanted to be honest with her, cause you thought she might understand.

Also, remember that having sex does not make you mature and that you are going to fall in love more than once. It is good that you are thinking a head... however condoms do fail 16% of the time... if not used correctly. So educate yourself. When you buy a box of condoms... there is a piece of paper that explains how to put a condom on. Read it. Open up a package and examine it

Remember that if you are going to do oral on someone, that you best have a condom on. You can get harpies of the mouth as well... Also be careful and realize that underwear don't equal protection, once things start heating up and your grinding on each another put the dang condom on... Never let a guy tell you that he will just “ pull out” . Pulling out does not protect against STD’s or getting pregnant.

Also realize condoms don't protect against everything either. Abstinence is the best way to be honest. You won't regret waiting for that guy and believe it or not, I waited until my wedding night with my husband and my first time was beautiful....

I do realize that not everyone will make that choice but I do hope you realize that sex now a days is a major deal and its important you educate yourself. Remember that being a virgin is something SPECIAL... Once it is gone you can't get it back.

Sex is very beautiful. It is the closest you will ever get to someone. It is a deep emotional attachment for some and for others it is meaningless pleasure. You need to understand that. I don’t want you to fear sex, I just don’t want you to get used. Remembering not giving in doesn’t make you a prude, it makes you respectful of your body and yourself. If a guy can not understand that, than he defiantly does not love you, nor respect you and is that someone you want to feel intimate and close to? Is that someone you want to take all the risk associated with sex. For? Probably not. Protect yourself, Respect yourself and realize how important of a choice this is, cause once you make it. It is a done deal.

Wow. Well said Kit. Couldn't have said it better myself. :thumbsup:

[Nymphchick]

well your a little young to be thinkin about sex. but its better you be safe then sorry, like meh said, protect yourself from STD's and unplanned pregnancies. if your gonna me mature enough to have sex, then be mature enough to buy the condums. just walk up and pay for them, don't make a huge annoying scene about it, first sign of imaturity and that your not ready for sex. :happysad:

[Panache87]

Just go to the drugstore and buy them. The cashier won't card you or give you weird looks. They most likely wouldn't think anything of it. Better to buy them now, than to do something later down the road, and end up pregnant young, or get an STD.

[Tattooedchick]

I work at a drugstore and we get young people buying condoms all the time...It scares me more than it scares them I reckon 'cause they seem so young to be even contemplating sex but I never thought that may be just getting them in case. Good thinking to be safe but don't rush into anything. And don't worry about anyone saying anything...Mostly they don't care...it's weirder to see a very old man buying condoms then a youngin' :tongue:

[Frost]

Yeah just be open
unless your mum is a bitch in which case freak her ou by saying your gonna have hardcore sex with complete strangers twice your age.
gets them all the time.
