Did Your Parents Give You Condoms?

[+ Avalon]

On the recent episode of "Blue Bloods" the eldest son of the detective is going off to college. He is helping him pack. He included condoms. I don't recall it ever beeing said if he is sexually active or not.

My friend at work always mentions she has to pack condoms for her son whenever he travels.

If you are old enough to have sex, you are old enough to buy your own condoms! Just my two cents!

[liubit]

My parents never gave me condoms. I bought them myself

Did Your Parents Give You Condoms?

 

The only thing my parents gave me was shpilkes.

Where are you buying your condoms? At the dollar store?

She always mentions this? Has the woman nothing else to talk about, other than her son's lack of responsibility vis-a-vis his sex life?

As kid my parents only gave us condoms when they were out of Halloween candy

My parents never bought me condoms, we always bought ours at the restroom at the local Shell Service station. There was also a truck stop in Louisiana that in the restroom, there had to be at least 50 condom machines. That was the first time I ever knew that condoms came in so many different colors

In my day, they were readily available in nearly every gas station men’s room ..... as were Glory Holes:):)

True story.

 

I don't know why I remember this, but when I was very young, way less than 10 years old, I opened a small box in the medicine cabinet which (knowing later) turned out to contain condoms. I opened the box, took one out. I blew it up as a balloon, and took it outside, and tossed it around going down the block.

Condom? I never even got a birds and the bees lecture. I was masturbating before I realized that immaculate conception was not the standard method of birthing. I was an only child who lived in the country and had little contact with cousins. I could have become a monk I guess.

All my parents told me was to sleep with my hands outside the covers.

A droll follow up. In the Army I always kept a condom in my wallet. I was stationed in France then Germany. One summer my parents came to visit. I can’t recall exactly why but at one point I had to hand my wallet to my father. He couldn’t miss the distinct outline of what was inside. I CAN recall his failed attempt to stiffle his shock. Not a word was spoken.

Agree with you

That's all well and good in theory, but the fact remains that there are plenty of kids who can work up the nerve to have sex with someone but are not yet confident enough to face the store clerk. And statistically speaking, they're unlikely to let the latter problem prevent them from engaging in the former. So if you are someone who is invested in that individual's life outcomes, you might prefer they have the condoms available.

 

When I was in college I worked as a clerk in the camps pharmacy. Many times female students who knew me would walk into the pharmacy, see me at the counter, and walk right back out. I would ask the pharmacists to give me some work in the back to do to make sure they would get their birth control prescriptions filled.

I would have thought with you being gay they would have been more comfortable dealing with you.

[+ Charlie]

No. They didn't worry about me making anyone pregnant.

I was working my hardest to project an "asexual" vibe back then. Deep in the closet, hadn't done anything yet.

Understandable. I've always had an easy time around women because they knew that I was harmless, I posed no threat.

[marylander1940]

That’s a little creepy...it’s like “mom is there” and it just seems weird enough to cross the line from caring to controlling.

 

and I used to think conservatives were all about responsibility and family values... mmmm

Are you crazy! I don't think they knew what condoms were.
