Planned parenthood if you have one near you. They give them out for free. The one near my house just has a bucket full of them near the door.

And really, buying them isn’t a big deal.

Sure. Go to Walmarts to the pharmacy. They have a whole rack of those things near the eye-drops and breath rights…Be sure to get the extra large if you need them. Believe me, those regulars hurt like the dickens if you aren’t as small as most of the other dudes.

I have probably bought a kazillion of those things after about 35 years using them…Believe me, people may smile at you for buying them, but they are really just jealous….

Just go to a drug store you will never visit again. That’s what I did as a youth to get over my timidness.

If you’re too immature to realize that purchasing condoms is sometimes a necessary part of being sexually active and are prepared to do it, however sheepishly, then I question your decision to become sexually active. Just my opinion.

I have to admit, @ABoyNamedBoobs03 is exactly right on this one. Follow all of his advice on this topic!

I had this problem too, I got a friend of mine to get me some. Pretty stupid in my opinion.
They sell them at drugstores, like @steveprutz suggested, go to one that you probably won’t ever visit again.
If you don’t feel like doing it then don’t, she might just want to loose hers.
You can’t find it once you loose it.

Go to a crappy convenience store or gas station that’s open all night. They usually have them and no one is around but the clerk late at night so it wont be as embarrassing. Also buy some other items. That will make it less awkward.

Are you sure you’re ready? Just because your girlfirend wants to have sex, doesn’t mean you both are ready. Think about the consequences.
You can get them at a pharmacy, stores, clinic, or your dad’s drawer.

@cyndihugs consequences? the guy is getting condoms remember

cyn's avatar

@ABoyNamedBoobs03 they might break….

FrogOnFire's avatar

@Likeradar is right on. I remember my high school health teacher saying that exact same thing.

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

@cyndihugs
@Damn_Tony

lol so he should never have sex?

buy a new condom, I doubt he’s going to be rocking the sheets enough to break it, and new condoms usually don’t come pre holed.

@Likeradar the first time someone buys a condom is always a little nerve wracking and awkward, sex has always been taught to be taboo to teenagers, like it’s dirty and shameful, publicly admitting that you’re about to have sex is weird the first time when you’re raised in that mindset.

“Get it over with”? That doesn’t sound very romantic. I’m not a prude, but to me, that doesn’t sound like a very good reason to make love. I hope you’ll both think this over. It only happens once, and generally people remember it all their lives. Make it something nice to remember. Wait a couple of years.

Likeradar's avatar

@ABoyNamedBoobs03 I know, I was a teenager once too. :) But even then I knew that sex is an adult decision and if properly preparing to get laid is too awkward (which is why I said “however sheepishly”), you’re most likely not ready to be doing it.

And if he’s so afraid of simply buying a condom, I question how he’ll handle quiefs, weird moans, discharge, farts, UTIs, premature ejaculation, vaginal dryness, and all the other joys of sex.

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

haha no one tells you about the sounds… god those come out of left field.

BioTechWarriorr's avatar

I have mustered the courage to go get a condom, thanks to some of you. if you want the next stage of my ‘life’ going on right now, check my newest question please, and give your opinion

Likeradar's avatar

@BioTechWarriorr Woohoo!!! :) If anyone at the store gives you looks, tell yourself you’re doing the right thing and be proud! or tell yourself they’re just jealous.

bow chicka wow woww

Where a fake mustache and a derby so they won’t be able to recognize you in the line up.

Seriously, Thursday is condom day at our school. The thing is they announce your name on the school intercom so the girls know who is ‘covered.

OK really seriously do what most guys do, make your girlfriend get them.

If you’re too “chicken” to go to a store and buy a pack of condoms, you are too immature to have sex. Period. And that goes for your girlfriend too.

I never went to a store to buy condoms , i was too chicken i always went to the PUB machines . And later on i knew someone who knew someone who could get his hands on a full machine refill , so he put in a word and got me a refill i never needed to get condoms again . Now i have no need to wear condoms :) .

cyn's avatar

@ABoyNamedBoobs03 True…but to prevent pregnancy and STD’s: his girlfreind should be using birth-control pills and he should be using the damn condom.

Well now that self checkouts have been invented, it’s really not a problem at all. Just grab them and swiftly make your way to the self check out.

The first time my boyfriend and I went to buy condoms, before we both lost our virginity, as we were waiting in line at the self checkout we ran into one of his best friends. It was so embarassing. I wanted to hide in a hole. Looking back, its not a big deal, but at the time I was probably red as a tomato.

Would you rob the shop / gas station for a three pack ? and use two as your getaway vehicle
