Condom Shame

Ashamed of buying condoms directly, a person (usually female) persuades his or her lover to buy condoms while they hide behind a magazine 20-feet away.

A man bumps into his friend in line at the checkout:

"Hey dude! It's been awhile! Where's your wife?"
"Oh, she's just over there looking at magazines, she has condom shame."

Condom Shame

When a person feels embarassment when buying condoms. This was very common in most of us the first several times we ever bought condoms. we would hesitate forever before picking up the box or pack and going over to pay for them. Or worse, some stores had them behind the counter, so we had to ask. WE would hesitate, stammer, stutter before working up the courage. Eventually most people do get over Condom Shame. Condom Shame is perfectly natural, due to our conditioning when growing up that sex is 'naughty' or 'dirty'.

Even being over Condom Shame, you can still possibly experience Condom Shame once in awhile. I, Ted Rimmel Jr once suffered condom shame years after being over Condom Shame. I go into the pharmacy to buy condoms. I have 2 boxes each of ultra thin and of ribbed for her pleasure. A girl who knows me somewhat is the cashier. There is a line behind me as I go to checkout. The conversation went "Hi Ted" "Hi." "You planning a big special weekend are ya?" "No". Girl says as she taps on condom boxes "Come on, I can see." I said "Well yes, it is a very big weekend." The girl picks up the condoms, rings them up. As she rings them up she proceeds to tell me (somewhat loudly)"Aww Ted I KNOW your mother is absolutely going to love you using these with her. Truly." There I was suffering an episode of Condom Shame.

"What took you so long in the pharmacy? You were just going to pick up a couple things."
"Well I had to buy condoms, and it took me awhile to work up the courage. I guess I was suffering from a bad case of Condom Shame."
