Parents found condoms... What should I do?

[reecelyons]

Hey, I'm 16 and I have had a boyfriend for the last 2 and 1/2 years. (my mam knows im
Gay, but not about my boyfriend) We have had sex loads but today my man found a condom wrapper in my room and questioned me about it, and I promised I hadn't and wouldn't do anything sexual with anyone, an that I just have them for masturbation ect.

Should I be truthful or keep it quiet?
What would you do?
Cheers, Reece

Being totally honest it depends on your parents reactions and what they're like about the whole thing. You're 16, they're going to expect it to happen at some point and if anything they should be more grateful you're using protection.

Personally if mine asked I wouldn't tell but thats purely because i'm private and i don't feel they need to know unless something bad comes of it. Though mine aren't too fussed as long as I don't get anyone pregnant or anything like that or contract anything from it.

I think you did the right thing. Be honest about it. Tell her that its better to be safe than infected with anything. And as Kaius said, I dont think I would explain myself until something bad happened.

[Jag14]

I think you should tell the truth.

You should have been honest with her. The first time my Mum found my drawer full of condoms she freaked and told me to be extra careful and gave me a big lecture but she was cool with it. My Dad bought me condoms when we went up the coast for a week lmao. Saying you use them for masturbation was a good excuse but you really should have been honest with her.

Well, first I wouldn't be too sure that she bought what you said about it being strictly for masturbation. She was 16 once too and had raging hormones and a seemingly unquenchable sexual appetite. Sorry for the visual...

I would say you should do the same thing as when someone farts in polite company -- you pretend to have not heard anything, and they pretend to have not done it. Meaning, you don't mention the fact that your mom found the condom wrapper (and do a better job of keeping the unused ones hidden, and the used ones in the trash) and your mom pretends to not know you like to have sex.

Now if she breaks through this little façade you've put up, and questions you about it point-blank, it has been my experience that honesty is the best policy. Most parents (when religion isn't playing a significant role in the picture) are really only interested in seeing that their kids are happy and safe. You're having sex, so presumably you're happy, and you're using condoms (good for you) so you're good there.

tell her the truth, your 16 theres nothing wrong at least your being safe

I agree with Aaron here, if they don't make a big deal about it you could just pretend that it didn't happen. As he also said, as least you're being smart and using protection -- they should recognize that and be grateful for it.

Bro u need to tell the truth about it cause Is something goes wrong then she will know what to do

[mfupi2]

cause Is something goes wrong then she will know what to do

What could possibly "go wrong?" Condoms don't become animated and strangle infants while you sleep....

Do you really think it's because you're private?

Kids are generally as intimidated about talking to their parents about sex as their parents are about talking to their kids about sex. Do you really want to imagine your parents getting it on? Well they feel pretty similar about thinking about you boinking your honey.

[Stronger]

I would tell the truth, hiding it could only makes thing worse and as Mikey said, your using protecton, being smart and safe so they should be glad that you did the right thing

I know myself lmao, my parents have never been intimidating about sex. Whether its my parents or not I will not tell them something I don't want them to know.

[GirlLover15]

Just tell them

[GirlLover15]

just being safe

[MJohn]

I'm confused .. mam and man. Did yor mam find it or man?

[Jay_Team_Swagg]

Do the right thing, its always better to tell the truth, BUT if u feel differently, u can just push it off

[NotASpyingRent]

Frankly, I think you should keep the BF out of it, but that you had them just incase there was an urge for some sexual activity on "a rainy day".

[HahaWaitWhat]

Honestly, if I were a parent i'd be more concerned about not finding condoms, at least if you find them you know they're practicing safe sex.

[karejeet]

tell her atleast you are doing it safely!! :)

[Ddare28]

The same thing happened to me. But I did really only use the condoms for jerking off. I told them I just had some to see what they were like. It all depends on how your parents would react. You know them best. I personally would keep it a secret.

[Greg1994]

My friend Claire bought me a pack of condoms for my 17th birthday, as a joke of course. My mom found them and I told her Claire bought them for me, seeing as though I rarely ever lie to my parents, she believed me and went about her day. If I was in your shoes, as much as it seems right to tell the truth, in all honesty, I know that I personally wouldn't tell, I'm not a fan of any conversation like that, plus I'm really good at changing topics lol

[Clawhammer]

If you ask me, it's their house, you're their son, you're still under their care, and they have the right to choose whether you're allowed to have sex under their roof or not. Hard choice and unpleasant, but it's the right one, and we all have to choose between what's easy and what's right one day.

[boosterboy1]

Yeah keep it a secret

[zach17020]

tell her atleast your practicing safe sex. lol

[lyle67]

id say keep quiet unless she actually finds out you and him have sex otherwise i wouldnt tell

[Drew5]

Whered ya leave em

[Rascaldog24]

[gmansa]
