Condoms....

[iAmSecret22398]

Does anyone know how I can get hold of these things? I don't want to pay £3 (approximately $1,000,000,000(!)) for two in a service station but I'm far too terrified to actually go and buy some. There's a drug store downtown that I could go into and buy some from (I could easily pass off as an 18-year-old, let alone a 16-year-old (the age of consent in the UK)) but I daren't, for fear of getting embarrassed, feeling guilty (I'm technically underage), blushing...

I should probably man up and buy some anyway. But then even once I had them how would I smuggle them home without my dad noticing the bag? What would happen if someone found them?

This would all be so much easier if I was 10 years older and living in my own house...

I always want condoms as Internet research implies that I can use many things as a dildo, such as bananas or something but they all advise to put a condom on it. There're no sex shops anywhere near where I live and there's no way I could buy anything online either - I'd have to get my mother to put her card details in...

I don't even know specifically what I'm asking here. "What's the easiest way to get condoms?", I suppose...

How about the vending machines in bathrooms of gas stations? They might not be in the UK though..

Usually they're in public bathrooms though and that means there are other PEOPLE there, uggghhhh I hate people :P

And that means I have to carry my wallet with me everywhere. And £1 coins.

Ohmigod stop moaning.
Must go to sleep.
00:50am here.

Thank you for all the advice!

I'll be on tomorrow (technically today!).

Well, my friend who looks like a baby bought condoms from Boots (a local drugstore type thing for the non-UK folk) and I was surprised there was like no issue. He paid we left, just sum up some courage and bite your tounge.

Go to a sexual health clinic or your school nurse and you will get them for free, that's one of the main part of their jobs

i don't know about in the uk, but here in america we have these clinics that are called planned parenthood. they are kind of like for if u have any questions and if u need a pregnancy test without wanting to buy one. same thing goes for condoms. they literally have free condoms in a bowl there at the front desk. a lady came into school for health and was like if u want u can just walk in and grab a handful. so u could look on the internet to see if they have any places like that near u

First off, £3 is NOT 1 billion dollars. If you want some condoms then go in the bathroom of a rest stop, they usually have them.

Hehe, I know, maybe I exaggerated a LITTLE.... I was trying to put across the point that £3 is a lot for two condoms!

Some boots stores have self scan tills now too, so you don't have to be served by an actual person. I wouldn't be too covert in store, as I think the only person that would take note or care is a security guard thinking you're trying to steal something! Once you're out the store, take the condoms out the box and bin the box and receipt, so you have less to carry home. At that point hide them somewhere your parents are unlikely to look.

Wonderful advice, everyone. I'll see if there's a sexual health clinic nearby and maybe I'll brave going into Boots or somewhere...

Wish me luck!

This is how I see it. Now don't take this as a personal attack, but sex is a mature thing. You have to be mature enough to actually purchase the condoms before you have sex. Of course, your circumstance may be different. Try your hardest and be safe! Thanks!
