Hi all,
I was talking to a family member awhile ago about who in the relationship should be the one buying the condoms. They thought that it should be the mans' responsibility to buy them, but I think that it really doesn't matter who buys them just as long as someone does. I'm interested to hear your opinions.

I can see why it would be the guy's responsibility unless perhaps we were talking about those female condoms. But even ten I think it should be a fifty-fifty thing as much as possible, where maybe the guy buys one time and the girl the next. I tend to feelt e sae way whenit comes to paying for meals out.
I think the girl should have a box at her house, and the guy should have a box at his house. The girl should carry a few in her purse, and the guy should carry a few in his wallet.
Agreed with Cody. It should be the responsibility of both the girl and the guy.
I see nothing wrong with a woman keeping a box in her bathroom or in a drawer in the nightstand or dresser of her bedroom. However, I never carry them in my purse and would expect the guy to have some available if we were at his house.
I also think both should buy condoms. If you are going to be sexually active, you need to keep your stuff.
Now, in the case of a women, she might decide not to keep condoms, because she uses some other method of birth control, and has also either decided she will trust her partners, or she won't sleep with more then one at a time.
In that case, a man should decide if he trust his partners, not only for birth control, but other things, even if he is only sleeping with one at a time.
In the guys case, he has the birth issue to worry about, the woman only the STD's, because, she knows about her birth condition, if she's not using condoms.
I personally wouldn't carry them in my wallet, aand if I did, would keep them fresh, or be using them often. Old over heated condoms are false protection.
When I know I have a date, no matter what, if it is with a femaile, and their is a even a remote possibility of sex, I bring some with me.
I'm not one that is having sex out of the blue, so this works easy.
Not in my wallet, my pocket, or my carry pouch.
I keep a box handy in my place for anyone that would like some as well.
it's both people's responsibility to have condoms on hand. it takes two people to consent to sex, so why should only one person be responsible for having condoms handy?
Cody don't put condoms in your wallet.
In your jacket pocket, sure. Your toolbox, I don't care where, but not your wallet where the constant heat over time causes them to degrade. I thought that one was educated about in sex ed lol.
But yeah I have paid for things ffor girls, pads and things, so why not a girl pay some for condoms? What was in Post 1 is part of the dogma about men never taking responsibility.
At 49% of the population, if men really didn't take responsibility for things, we'd be in a lot worse shape than we are already. Some humans, male and female, don't responsibility like they should, but don't fall for the feminist speaghetti monster straw man dogma of men never take responsibility. It's one of those improvable claims, only backed up by somebody's experience and studies of questionable origin, something like what the Six Day Creationists call science.
Sounds to me like you're thinking like an egalitarian human being, you buy some, he buy some, keep them in a relatively cool dark place, a night stand drawer will do. A jacket pocket will do. But the failure rate tends to increase when kept in the wallet. This they even taught us boys in sex ed back in the mid 1980s.
What does it matter who buys them, as long as they get bought? Both people should be responsible.
No condem service for me. If that girl forcing me to wear a condem, I'd rather go for some other way to fulfill my need. Meanwhile, I won't sleep with some unknown anytime.
Raaj.
Both parties should be equally responsible. Just because the guy wears it, doesn't mean the girl can shirk the responsibility.
Both parties need to be responsible, IMO.
If you'll have them in your wallet, then in that case I'll always have some in my bag? I agree with both people having a box of them in their house. That sounds safer.
Wallets are just not the place. Condoms kept in wallets make babies.
Unless you have the type of pouch that goes outside the pocket, bring some fresh ones in your pocket, but don't carry them around for days in a folded wallet.
Purses are different, they don't get hot like wallets do, nor cause stress on the packaging.
Just my opinion, and the if I'm not mistaken, this is on the box, but don't quote me on that.
Children in the back seat of cars, cause accidents; accidents in the back seat of cars, cause children.
Sorry, the above post reminded me of that. :)
Smile. I see.
