All this condom talk reminds me of Dirty Work where the young guy found out his best friend was his brother from different moms. Upon explaining this the father said, "we didn't have fancy birth control techniques back in the day, like pulling out."
i bought and did and ill do in the future everything need to be done for share myself with a woman im in love...
never felt shame doing things for my girl.. and i dont give a shit what others think...

I've never had my bf buy them....simply because he'd probably buy the wrong ones and I never really run out anyway....but I know without a doubt that if I asked him, he'd buy them....and he'd have absolutely NO problem whatsoever with writing down the brand etc and having to ask a store assistant to help him find the right ones. He's 100% comfortable with himself, his manhood, his sexuality, whatever....that sort of shit doesn't worry him at all. And that's why I love him.
But after I wrote this, I mentioned it to my bf and he has corrected me and said he has bought them....several times over the years....and did not feel embarrassed at all. That's my boy!!
My bf even said he's had to buy them for his mum when he was a late teenager -- about 16 or 17. He said "I had a single mum....who else was going to help her when she was sick?". (he's an only child)
serious....i don't think i've been asked...it might have come up in conversation and i made it clear...buy your own shit.
people bring up condoms....but it's more like buying a jock strap....you don't ask a woman to pick one up for you
I don't understand you on this at all. Would you feel embarrassed buying them? Is that it? Is that where your issue stems from? People will SEE you holding tampons and think "hahaha look at that guy buying tampons?"
That said I happily buy condoms, even been known to hand out lube at public events so I don't think it's a shyness issue
I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

Agreed on this one, for sure. Who wants a man that, when it came down to it, wouldn't/couldn't figure out a way to get you a tampon? Not a deal breaker ( ), but definitely something I don't see as an issue.

Now THAT'S a real fucking man! What a champ!
good for him.... i spoke to my mother a little while ago and asked her... she said she would never think of asking me to buy them for her even if she was sick... she said she would just ask my aunt(who lives next door) or one of my sisters... i guess not all women have that cushion

I remember when I first got my period, my mum went to the shop and bought me pads. A while later I heard a knock on my bedroom door....and there's my dad standing there holding them with a big smile on his face -- "I think these are youuuuurs" he says laughing at me. At the time I was thinking " :shock: :x fuck off dad"....but now I think it was pretty cool he came down to my bedroom and did that.

sounds like he was patronizing you :?
Patronizing?? :? Not at all.
It was his way of saying I know you've got your period, you don't have to be all hush hush about it or feel weird, I'm totally cool with it and can help you out too if you need me. He's got 5 kids....3 older than me....he'd seen it all before.
Yes. I can only think of one boyfriend who had a problem with it. He was an Arab guy who was a really famous athlete (moreso in Europe & Africa than here). He took me to Paris & I unexpectedly started my period as soon as we arrived - before I had a chance to learn my way around or learn French money. He took me to the store but wouldn't even go into the tampon aisle with me. I held the box while we were in line. But I handed it to him to buy when we got to the front of the line & right then a guy came up & asked him for his autograph - while he was holding a box of tampons. I've never seen a man more embarrassed.
No problem at all, they just go in the trolley with the rest of the shopping. When you say feminine products, i once worked with a guy who bought his wife a vibrator,(she did`nt ask for it,) when i picked him up the following morning i asked how it went, "it hit me on the back of the head as i ran out of the front gate" was his reply. I dont think they were together for much longer. :shock: BTW i think that was his 3rd wife
not a problem either way, feminine products or condoms. A few boyfriends, and my DAD, have gotten them for me (not condoms) if they so happen to be at the store and I'm not and it's on the list of needed things. To me, it's not a big deal. If a guy says 'omg I'm not getting tampons' or something like that...I may think that he is a little too uptight (if not 15).
oh, but p.s. my dad got the wrong thing.
My guy doesn't have any problems with this. I've had a situation where I thought I had tampons in my bag when I went to work, I didn't, and he brought some to me. He has offered to pick some up for me when he knows I'm running low, he pays attention to what kind I use, etc...he's pretty amazing! He's not at all ashamed of it.
Similarly, I wouldn't have a problem buying condoms.
