This, despite the fact that there are far more women in the group than men. Man, did I feel stupid. I always used to get a little embarrassed buying condoms when I was with Matt. It was mostly because my condom purchase was a declaration that I might, possibly, one day, have sex. It's like the whole tampon thing, in reverse.
Men are embarrassed about buying tampons, and women are embarrassed about condoms.
But when you think about it, that's just ridiculous. I mean, tampons are a specifically female thing, and unless they're really kinky, men don't use them for anything. So I guess it's understandable that a man might find it a little squicky. Too often, women and girls put the burden of protection on the guy. This isn't right.
