Well, let's put it this way: I don't make the boyfriend buy my lady things, and there's no way I'm buying him his man things. It's embarrassing enough to get my lady things!

Both, of course.

I haven't actually used condoms for a very long time (I prefer the pill, I'm in a long term relationship and we split the bill) but if you're single everyone should be responsible for their own protection. It's stupid to expect someone else to do it.

Both, though last time I let a woman buy the condoms, she bought ones that were relatively thick, and it felt like I was wearing a car tire, couldn't feel a bloody thing, that wasn't a fun night, I couldn't get off, and we tried... for like 4 hours, I was paralyzed from exhaustion, cuz we tended towards the rougher end of the scale, but not like violent, so energy expenditure was WAY high, she had a lot of fun though, so I guess it's not all bad, though she did seem to take the fact that I never came as something personal... which rather sucked.

I usually buy in bulk, so I never run out, mainly cuz I got the herp, also interesting story, got it from the same woman who took my virginity, we'd been together for months, and apparently she was misdiagnosed at some point earlier in life, so as far as we knew we were both "clean", well, yeah, we were wrong, and now I'm stuck as a "sex leper" as far as most women are concerned, and have a much much harder time getting laid, I can get a woman in my bed no problem but when it comes to the discussion of who's got what, then it usually ends with her freaking the fuck out, and me sleeping alone for a few nights and then trying again, with the same result... needless to say I haven't gotten laid propper since last summer. So yeah, I give up, fuck the world, I don't need sex, I got a hand and I got me my vidya games, and my martial arts, and my car and truck to work on, and I've got a bass guitar to play, and tons of other stuff, not my fault that most women seem to freak out about something which has a danger level entirely negated by propper use of a condom, it's not like I have aids or something.

Man, the capchas are getting eerily personal mine says: "lost love" fuck, GET OUTA MY HEAD CAPCHA! OUT!

Weird suggestion: Buy some each, keep at respective houses, don't need to go shopping every time you feel horny.
Just my crazy branch of lateral thinking.


Genius.

Good thinking, and I mean it!

Oh, and just remember, geniuses usually are a bit crazy, so don't worry.

This might be the best thing i've read today xD.

O.T I always buy them. I'm not in a relationship, but living in a city dedicated to university and its student almost everyone of us is under 25. And girls here tend to get horny after exams for some reason, so casual sex happens. Therefore I buy them because I need to protect my "governor of love" (thanks beniki !). Also kids is the worst kind of STD i could get right now so that's another reason to buy them as well.

Condoms are incredibly stretchy and you are unlikely to find them in more than two sizes (with the second size really only there to boost guy's egos. You could put a regular sized condom over your head. Nobody has a penis that large.
The length can be problematic for well endowed men. Condoms stretch outward fine, but not downward so much. Comfort is also a factor. A guy might not enjoy a condom with a tight base, but a loose base is no good either.

I'm sorry you were saying? I doubt many will be filling that any time soon.
Oh lord that was hilarious XD

Guys.... since its their dick that needs covering.. but women can carry them too for emergency situations but i think the responsibility mostly falls on the men.
Yes because sex is exclusively for the man's benefit, and in no way should the woman/receiving partner have to pay an equal amount. It may not be the most expensive part of a relationship but I think everything should be equal. That's how we have been doing it and it works great.

I buy the condoms, she buys birth control. More or less we're each buying the prophylactics that pertain directly to us.
Exactly the same here. We have a contingency in case the condom breaks and I just leave a couple at her place and a couple at mine. Problem solved.

Neither. Partner is allergic to latex. But in the UK contraceptive implants and the pill are free, so use those instead xD much less hassle

...buy? My uni gives them out for free. Just grab a few handfuls.
Uni also gives them for free. Plentyful free johnnies for all! xD Go national health and student unions!

In general, its the guys thingy, so its his responsibility to deal with it, and in general he's more likely to have them anyway. In the end I guess its more about which one of them wants sex more.

Most certainly her. I'm not the one that doesn't want to get pregnant, and wearing a condom is a pain in the ass anyways.
If it's a pain in the ass, you're doing it wrong.
I lol'd.


Seriously, actually laughed, out loud.



I've recieved further laughs from individuals who feel the need to point out their use of XL/Magnum/Uber Big Mr. Johnny Condoms because they're so massive. Not calling them ALL liars but...

Wait, yeah I am. Nobody with an actual large cock would feel the need to post about it on this forum. Fuck it, if I had a knob that big I'd simply be walking through city centres naked using it to beat people unconscious before I shag their girlfriends.

Most of the people I know in exclusive heterosexual relationships don't use condoms, hormonal birth control is far more common.

Hell you can fit them over phone booths if you boil them. So yeah the second "size" is often only for the guys ego unless he has medically concerning girth.

Anyhoo, for me in the past its always been we buy equally or someone, usually me, buys them and then we split the costs. That way no one feels cheated.

Both parties are equally responsible for birth control. If she gets pregnant, you're both at fault.

Personally, I would buy the condoms, since I think strangers look down more on a woman buying condoms than a man buying condoms. Also, by buying birth control, I ensure that I have it. HOWEVER, I would split the bill. Both parties are responsible, and both should pay.

Birth control (pills) should be handled by the woman, since pills are pretty specific per person. Unless the guy knows exactly which type to get. Once again, the bill should be split.

IMO, if you can't afford birth control, you shouldn't have a sexual relationship, since you definitely would not be able to afford a child.

If you were TRULY well endowed, you'd beat them unconscious WHILE you shag their girlfriends.

Yeah, I get that. I say that and people are all like o_O? because it is apparently something you dont see often on here (maybe its because of all the porn.....)

I mean no offense, but they are kinda dated...
Not where I live. Again, ignoring the "There is a 70% chance it will fail because of her family curse" (Didnt think I was serious about that, did you?), The whole "Wait until marriage" thing is considered the norm around here and we get along just fine.

Besides, both of us are more at home behind a videogame controller and the wheel of a car (me)/reading a book(her) than we are even thinking about.................um.....that.

Please tell me you're joking.

In high school, a woman came and did a sex ed demonstration, and put her whole fist a condom. A standard sized common. I'm going out on a limb and saying a standard condom can accommodate pretty much all penises.

In my case, its neither. We dont really want to tempt fate before we are married so we are not having sex until we are married. Plus both of us believe in only have sex to have children, so theres that.
People who use the "abstinence" method are statistically as likely to have sex but, lacking the preparation of condoms or other contraceptives available are more likely to deal with pregnancies and STIs.

Though I'm inclined to agree with those who have labeled this a dated mindset anyway. But whatever floats your boat. I'm going to be enjoying copious amounts of safe sex, personally

There's like a million different types of nonlatex condoms. And these days, they're priced about the same.

Used to be sex with someone with a latex allergy was EXPENSIVE.

Seems like we're polar opposites of eachother then! XD
Then again, I don't think I'm the one to judge others on what they believe.

If everyone would refrain from thinking their way of life is clearly superior, this'd be a hell of a better place.
