If he thinks it is embarassing to by them i guess he doesnt want it as much as he says he does. Youre right tho, it is his job to buy them. Tell him that if he wants it that he has to be the man and buy HIS protection. =]

giver19 answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 11:15 pm:
here's the deal, if you and your boyfriend don't use condoms, are you prepared for a baby, transmitted diseases that could prevent you from having a baby when you are ready.
If your boyfriend won't buy them, you must so you will be safe. Also, you can go to the public health or your school nurse and tell her you need condoms to be protected. In this case, you must step in. A guy never wants to wear condoms but believe me, a couple seconds of passion won't be worth a baby, or STD's or HIV. Protect yourself, no one else will. By the way, if you are going to be sexually active at all, get on birth control pills. Good luck.

basically, put it this way: if he is too embarassed and immature to buy a condoms, wont he be too immature to be a father?

it is HIS responsibilty, and he cant get pregnant

Well it is both of your jobs but I would recommend he gets them, so in his privacy and when he's not all heated up he can practice putting them on so he knows the right way to and everything.. you know? hope i helped.

NOT ANYMORE. Girls are just as responsible as guys are when it comes to this.

(You can go to the health department and get a whole bag of them for free-no names asked, nothing)

(You could go to the vending machines in some convience store bathrooms and get one there)

Nooo its not a guys job.Either female or male can.Some people may think its there job but its not.I mean alot of guys do take responsiblity for getting condoms but it doesnt hurt for girls to buy condoms either just in case.So it doesnt really matter who gets the condoms, as long as you have them =)

I agree with a couple of others on here, birth control is the responsibility of both partners. The only choices are "no sex" "pregnancy" or being "embarrassed" for 10 minutes...

Why is it a guys job?
You're both in the relationship, you're both going to participate in having sex, so really, it's both of your responsibility to get the protection you need.
It can be embarrassing, but everyone does it. and in the end, noone really cares what you buy.
Girls buy tampax, so what?
If you're worried about the person at the check out, don't be. Go together if you like. and confidently walk up with them. Surely, the worker would be happy you're playing it safe!
If neither of you want to purchase them from stores, why not get them from machines in toilets? Or get someone else to get them for you. You can even go to your family planning center and get free ones. Better still, you can get free ones from the internet and they get sent to you in packaging where noone would know there's condoms inside.
Good luck!

sexichickxoxo answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 10:44 am:
to be honest with you yes it is a guys job..but the first time is always weird for guys to buy them...i mean if u really loved him and wanted to sleep with him you would go buy them but i recommend your first time you be extra safe because then you wont be paraniod about your period coming or not..i got on birth control at a clinic and my family doesnt even know and its free...and if you dont want that then buy film at a local drugstore...its not hard to use its actually simple..and then use a condom too...oh and if you get birth control they give u a lot of condoms...just a suggestion..hope i helped you

Razhie answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 10:42 am:
Nonsense.

Safe sex is incredibly serious, and it's BOTH partners responsibility. If you want to have sex one of you is going to have to buy condoms, period.

In my current relationship I take care of nearly all of the birth control. Why? Because it's important to me and I want it done right. My boyfriend and I talk about it, but I do the bulk of the research and buying.

If your boyfriend isn't confident and secure enough in his sexuality and decision to walk into a store and buy a box of condoms, maybe he isn't actually ready. People who are ready for sex squash any stupid feelings of embarrassment and realize that no only is birth control important, its vital to responsible sex.

You really think both of you are ready for sex, great, go buy condoms yourself, or go with him. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, and until one of you matures enough to take their sexual safety into their own hands, you aren't going to be able to have sex.

LoveNJstyle answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 3:35 am:
I know you think you are ready & i'm glad you are being safe... but if he can't bring himself to get comdoms he either doesn't want it bad enough or isn't mature enough to be having sex. maybe i'm wrong but i think if he can share his body with someone, i think he should be able to get them. and yeah, it's the guys job. if it will make him more comfortable, go with him when he goes, get some other stuff too. i recommend target actaully because they have them in the same aisle as feminine supplies so it won't be as akward. <3

Lola answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 3:27 am:
Yes it is a guy's job to do go and buy it.
And if he doesn't think that there is anything wrong or embarrasing in having sex with you wearing a condom ,then he should think that way too about buying one.
And you could go with him if he is too shy or embarrased, but there is nothing wrong in it.

babiigirl answered Tuesday August 8 2006, 3:11 am:
Honestly your boyfriend has No reason to be emabarassed to buy condoms && if it helps go with him & buy a few extra things with the condoms like hair accesories, makeup, deoderant & so on.

No one is going to think anything of it.

And its the guys job.
