As a food blogger, random food packages make their way magically to my apartment. But this box was magically filled to the brim with condoms. 500 condoms to be exact. so there i was, still red in the nose crying over my last break up with fate drops a super size package of condoms on my door step. I have been having house parties and giving away condoms in brown paper bags as "goodie" bags... i still have about 200 left. I will be more than happy to give you some so that you can be "that" girl but not have to brave the judging looks on peoples faces when you buy condoms... like that one time i bought a box of magnums for a "friend" and the male cashier smirked. :-( Dead serious about the condoms tho... lol.Mo Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17276820840412202312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-60035893849577223812010-11-30T06:13:04.302-08:002010-11-30T06:13:04.302-08:00As a single girl in her thirties, I always keep th...As a single girl in her thirties, I always keep them on me 'just in case'. But I live on the border of Canada and US, and I still drive to Michigan to buy them because I know I won't run into I know. <br /><br />Seriously - I have to go through customs over the International Border to buy condoms.

I've kept them in dorm rooms, apartments, purses.. because the idea of some guy pulling out an ancient condom that's been squished in his wallet for 5 years is NOT appealing.<br /><br />I want to know the condom is fresh, not expired, and not something that's going to aggravate my va-jay-jay. No weird hot/cold goop, and spermicide ALL THE WAY.<br /><br />If something's going in my body, I want to have my choice. Picked the guy, picked the condom - now that's some worry-free sexin'! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-11288605963133310952010-11-16T08:14:53.227-08:002010-11-16T08:14:53.227-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09420487075450683028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-52754502501177382182010-11-16T06:21:33.141-08:002010-11-16T06:21:33.141-08:00Love your blog and this entry made me laugh.

I was embarrassed to buy them, too. STUPID. Get over the embarrassment for your own safety. I got lucky. I cried with relief when they gave me the results of my first test... Negative. <br /><br />For the last 20 years, I had considered my behavior a problem. I was a "slut" and I gave it away for free. On one occasion I even gave it to a man who's name I didn't get before we were finished and thanks to Facebook, I keep running across men I had forgotten about almost as soon as I had met them.<br /><br />I have always carried that around with me with a sense of shame and you know what? I shouldn't. Why should a man be able to live this way and be congratulated while a woman is deemed a slut? <br /><br />Kudos to these NY (and elsewhere) women who take control of their sexuality shamelessly. I wish I could have had that mentality about it then. I certainly do now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-73547325316391128552010-11-12T12:46:27.306-08:002010-11-12T12:46:27.306-08:00Never bought em, never needed to, even just in cas...Never bought em, never needed to, even just in case. But I'm kind of tempted to now, just for the sake of it. I'm going through this "wow, I'm an adult now" stage. Actually, it would be really funny to roll up to the check-out with a bottle of booze and a pack of condoms just to see the reaction. Like, "people in wheelchairs get drunk AND laid?"<br /><br />Also, I had to laugh at the earthquake kit thing cos earlier in the year we had a 7.1 earthquake followed by 3000 aftershocks and counting, and guess what... no earthquake kit, not even a readily accessible torch.

Sometimes there is no time. ;)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377293194507640289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-26800329453064762712010-11-11T07:24:15.575-08:002010-11-11T07:24:15.575-08:00Hilarious... love thinking about you pacing in the...Hilarious... love thinking about you pacing in the condom aisle.

I lost my virginity and didn't have any condoms on me and ended up just getting coerced to go for it, and realized HOW DUMB that was, I just always carried around a condom after that just in case.<br /><br />I've only slept with 4 people, and been happily married and monogamous for about 10 years, so I'm hardly a whore or anything. Having one on ya is just a good thing.

I was always the girl with the long-term boyfriend until I moved to LA and we broke up & I moved out & suddenly I was single and I was trying to be an "LA girl" and trying to compete with other "LA girls" and it's just not me. You can be single - and be SAFE (it doesn't hurt to be prepared) - without turning into someone you're not. Enjoy it, grow, take it one step at a time, but don't be embarrassed - own your single-ness, your sexiness, and your new life.
