MC Spyda Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hehehe If you mean me, I'm female. I though that was obvious from my avatar and my OP, lol. Unless you mean someone else? Now I'm worried I look like a man..... I did mean you, but don't worry, I didn't notice the avatar, I wasn't paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manofstrad Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 A strange thing happened to me today.... I went to Tesco in Rotherham with the OH to get a few bits we were missing for a Sunday roast. On our way round, we saw a packet of Durex ltd edition condoms reduced to £5.50. Now, we either get them from family planning, or buy them as we need them, but they are pretty steep. Usually it's £3 for 3 or £10/ £12 for 10. We stuck them in the trolley, as they were just end of line, and we never miss a bargain. Anyway, when we got to the till, the security box that was holding them wouldn't open, for the assistant to open it and scan the sticker. I was stood waiting for her supervisor to go and sort this, when I overheard the man at the next till say to the woman with him "Look at that, buying condoms *snigger*, sad. It's sex, no need to make a big deal". He was easily early 40s, and not the sort of person I'd expect such a comment from. If it had been a 14 year old lad, I'd have shrugged it off! I turned to my partner and said loudly enough for them to hear "The immaturity of some people astounds me. Maybe we ought to put the condoms back love, and start popping kids out we can't afford to support- and give people something else to whinge about?" The man pulled a few faces and muttered then carried on packing his shopping. My OH just pulled a face and we packed up and left. Some people may find it a strange thing to write a thread about, but why do some people act this way? It's not something I come across often. I thought most people had sex, and as such would understand the implications of unprotected sex Without being sexist, I tend to find a lot of men who don't understand too much about contraception don't understand why women in a relationship would not be on the pill, but surely there's no need to be so rude? Obviously the pill can have serious implications and has had for me! My personal choice is to use condoms as these are best for us. As we both work full time and are pretty busy, we can't always get to the family planning for free ones, so tend to buy them... Are people embarrassed by buying condoms or embarrassed by other people buying them when they are around? It's seems astoundingly prudish behaviour to harbour in this day and age.. The guy was immature relost! his problem not yours Dear. Some people don't realise that french letters are not only used for courting, I often use them to protect myself from pricks while naked rose pruning in the privacy of my own rose gardens.

upinwath Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I used to think my thingy was really big because condoms only reached half way down it's throbbing shaft. Then I found out you have to unroll them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabelle Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I find there to be an assumption of men that women should be on the pill therefore they don't need to use condoms. Obviously there is then the risk of an STI but the big thing is that the pill has side effects on women. I came off the pill a couple of months ago after taking it for 10 years solid. There is no way on earth I would ever go back on it again. It made me feel like a different person. Only now am I starting to feel like myself again. If a man wouldn't use a condom I'm afraid he would have to go without - simple as that. Same here, I had been taking the pill since just before I turned 17. I stopped taking it recently after I came out of a long relationship, and I feel a lot better for it. I don't think (artificial) hormones agree with me.
