For The Guys, Who Hasn't This Happened To?

I'm not ashamed of expressing my fears and grievances with everyone, so i want to share a popular fear that people experience, but this is mostly geared towards guys.

Guys! Why do we feel so embarrassed about buying condoms from the store? I for one have experienced that anxiety and stress. It's like whenever you pull up to the drug store there's like 50 people in the store already. Then you have to walk all the way to the back where the pharmacy is, and pick out your brand, style, flavor what have you. It's not bad enough that they're all the way in the back, but they're in the open too, so anybody walking down the back aisle can see you in front of the condoms. Then once you've selected your package, you then have to walk all the way back up to the front and pay for them. God Forbid that there's a female checking you out, you have a mini panic attack standing in line, and don't let her be cute either it's like the fates conspired against you.

if you're like me, I never can just buy a box of condoms by itself. I need to buy a magazine, a soda, some chips, something other than just the condoms. I don't know I guess it takes the focus off of the condoms so much so the person ringing you out isn't just judging you for the condoms you bought. Is it just me or do you ALWAYS think the person ringing you up is judging you?

I was watching a sitcom and this guy was buying some and he was freaking out because the line was long and he had the value pack of condoms with like 24 in the pack (do they make those?) and he was trying to hide them under his coat until he got to the register. That's where the inspiration for this rant came from, in case you were wondering, lol.

Fellas what do you think?

I am seventeen years old (underage), but I have purchased cigarettes and alcohol with no shame at all. I wouldn't hide my buying condoms either, when and if it comes to it in the future.
