Buying Condoms

Where do i buy a Condom?

There is something I don’t understand. There are some that are embarrassed when it comes to buying condoms, and this I don’t understand. What I do understand is when a teenager might be buying them, or perhaps when you are single and not seeing anyone that there might be some embarrassment. However, when a grown, married man is having trouble going into a store and buying condoms I have to wonder why. This is a huge problem that my husband has and I’m not sure what to make of it.

I can understand why he wouldn’t want to go into the store to buy tampons, but even that is a little fuzzy. Surely he knows the clerk isn’t going to think they are for him right? I guess it’s easier for a woman because we are used to buying stuff like that, and it’s really no big deal. Buying condoms should be easier, but instead you would think you just asked him to go into the store for some Vagisil and Anusol or something related. I can’t understand why he is embarrassed when he is buying condoms.

For us, birth control pills are not an option. I am high risk for blood clots so I can’t take them. Buying condoms is the perfect way to ensure we don’t have another child just yet. We aren’t quite ready for number two and I’m not chancing it just because he’s weird about buying condoms. If the car were in my possession more often I would go out and buy them myself, but because he works so much he is the one that gets things on the way home at night. Buying condoms is his chore.

To me, I guess buying condoms is a fact of life for us, but he sees it as something different. I have never seen a single person give me a sideways glance or even a second thought to me buying condoms when I do go out for them. At the very least it shows you are having sex on a regular basis, and what is so embarrassing about that? As far as I know, that’s something that not everyone has. Perhaps I will never be able to understand what his problem is, and he sure isn’t explaining very well. What is so embarrassing about having a good sexual relationship with your spouse? Perhaps I should send him out for some more feminine products. Maybe that would make him more at ease with the condoms.
