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."
