Poll: Who buys the condoms?

[zehydra]

Thankfully those boxes come with like a gazillion, unless you're going to be having lots of sex often (lucky guy!) it's more or less a non-issue.

Personally I'd like to take turns with her, though it's more like I'd get stuck buying them. I don't like buying them, and I get self-conscious when I do.

I don't feel any obligation to buy them just because I have a penis lol. After all it's really for her benefit that I use them.

I buy my own, simply because I can't rely on a girl having any. Always keep at least one in my wallet, for those surprise encounters.

It's always good to have your own condoms.

This is exactly why, you can never rely on your partner to provide them.

That said, both me and my girlfriend both keep/buy a shitton of condoms.

With my husband and I - whoever's at the shops and remembers we need them. It's not a big deal, just another household necessity. Before we were married, it would be something we'd plan out before we went to bed. If neither of us had them, we'd make a trip out to a chemist. Simple.

I have no idea, but I just realised that one day I may have to actually buy condoms. Possibly within the next year.
Oh christ.

In so many of your posts, you avatar is very relevant.

OT: Whichever one is the one inciting sex i guess.

 

[straymatter]

Both parties should be responsible for their own boxes/stock. Egalitarian and practical!

 

[Vault101]

I buy the condoms...

I buy condoms for EVERYONE.....I walk around the street hand them out (or throwing them in peoples faces) shouting SAFE SEX FOR EVERYONE!! so that people are responsible!

and they say people don't like me

 

[loc978]

Whoever enjoys having sex involving a penis, be it their own or someone else's. So that would be both(or all, depending on preference).

But yeah, I keep my own stock, and rotate which ones travel with me regularly.

Both if the woman knows his size, otherwise him. Admittedly, I seldom used condoms during my last relationship : S
was tempting fate

 

[MetalMagpie]

I'll confess here that I'm a woman who's never bought condoms. Then again, I think I've only had sex with a guy using a condom four or five times in my life.

The combination of a stable relationship and the pill is a good one.

Oh christ.

Spoiler: Oh no

Anyway, generally people that are having sex, or smuggling drugs or whatnot.

...

Seriosuly, though, I did hear it was a more female thing, in that buying condoms fro supermarkets is embarassing, but buying certain female products there is alao embarassing so they are supposed to be used to that or something.

And then there's the "I can't get pregnant, so it doesn't affect me" mentality.

 

[Astoria]

I buy the condoms, she buys birth control.

Sounds right to me, though it's probably a good idea for us girls to have some lying around just in case too.

 

[thom_cat_]

...buy? My uni gives them out for free. Just grab a few handfuls.

 

[Adultism]

Too expensive, I just pull out.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I haven't used condoms in years. I don't really like feeling them there and I just feel awkward watching the man put one on. >_>
Then again, I don't exactly go out clubbing and jump on ever cock I see so I'm okay with being on the pill as long as I know the guy has no diseases.
I never used to buy condoms, I think I got a few from the doctors when I did use them though. It was mainly him buying them, and they're bloody expensive >.<
If you're planning on having casual sex, both of you should definitely have some on you and keep some in your bedroom too.

I've bought condoms in the past, but at the moment my boyfriend and I are both at university so we can both get them for free (free dispensers in each college's laundry room XD ) When he graduates at the end of this term, I guess I'll be the one picking them up since I'll still have easy access to the free ones.

Having said that, we rarely use condoms any more. I have a contraceptive implant and we've both been (and continue to be) checked for STIs. But we still like to have a ready supply in each of our rooms, as there are times when they're useful/necessary.

Basically, I think everyone who is or thinks they might soon be sexually active should get hold of some condoms, regardless of gender. You never know what might happen, and it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared.

We get them free, from a website, sent in an anonymous looking envelope in the mail.
If we had to pay for them, I guess we would take turns paying or something.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

Sadly enough my wife knew more about the variety of condoms than I did when we first met. I kept myself out of sexual relationships till I was 22 so never really explored them.

When we need them (AKA when she takes antibiotics, They tend to mess with birth control) its whoever has the greatest convenience to get them. Same with tampons and other woman related products.

Don't see the big deal about it. We all have sex... its what we do. I not saying I slam the condoms on the counter and tell the cashier "I'm about to get laid hardcore tonight! IN YOUR FACE!!1" But I'm not shaking embarrassed either.

 

[Mariakko]

I like the idea of men buy the condoms and women get the pill, It seems safer.
Personally I have some in a drawer and a two in my wallet which I usually carry around on me. Will I ever use them? Probably not.
