If contraceptives aren't going to be free, they should all be in vending machines. No 16yo is going to ask a manager to unlock condoms...

Are they kept locked where you live?

At the grocery store by my house they are in a plastic box and the attendant has to take them out. Any embarrassment I feel is better than having a baby.

Embarrassed? Ask for 2 boxes with a big shit eating grin. Nothing wrong with protecting yourself.

They are locked in most cities (at least in the US) due to being a high theft item...

Also being from the US, I can confirm this must be a “big city” issue as they’re right out in open here.

Ya know, right where the most people that need them are...

Frankly, if you can’t bring yourself to ask someone to unlock the condom cabinet, you’re probably not mature enough to be fucking.

I'm sure that stops the horny teens. As long as sex is free and fun, it will always happen. Making it harder and more expensive to do so safely is just dumb.

GameDestiny2 t1_je68w7y wrote

Alright big brain, you’re saying not having the courage to ask someone to unlock the condom cabinet makes sex expensive and prohibited? It’s a basic concept of responsibility and accountability. If you can’t speak up, then I can’t imagine your partner should feel very optimistic about you sticking around after you bring another human being into this world since you decide not to wear a condom.

You're assuming teens can think this way yet. Most of this rational thought doesn't finish developing until their early twenties.

It's not a decision when someone else decides to make them cost money even though you have no disposable income. It is not a decision when society makes them hard to get and you don't have transportation to get them away from your overbearing parents.

Contraceptives should be free and available everywhere people are. Anything less is just asking for even more unwanted children. I work with unwanted children. The world does not need anymore.

Bitch, if you can’t even ask the guy behind the counter for a dick wrapper then get the fuck out of my sight. “Embarrassed”

There's literally a condom called Retard in there!

TrashPanda592 t1_je5i8zr wrote

Ok i'm curious what is a retard condom. Going by pricing it's in europe or the uk?

purple_pixie t1_je5k419 wrote

Presumably somewhere that speaks a Romance language, and it'll retard in the sense of to slow down / delay.

Given the name it's next to I'd have to assume Italian

(Also the UK doesn't use the Euro)

Riegler77 t1_je5kijn wrote

To retard means to delay. (This is also used in medicine). In this case it means that it's designed to make the man come later.

RichestMangInBabylon t1_je7fzmo wrote

That seems inconvenient. I'm not really sure where I'll be later but I probably won't want to cum then.

Retard is a product line from Control condoms. Retard is lined with Benzocaine, which temporarily numbs nerve endings.

This reminds me of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry wears a condom backwards before having sex.

They have these machines outside every pharmacy in Italy. “Retard” was definitely our fave name.

It’s for the gentlemen that’s curved to the left or right two degrees like how you would retard your timing in your vehicle -2 degrees back.

I approve all vending machines on general principle.

If this is a cheep hotel you can say that they do know their business.

Outside of the pharmacies in Italy. Some were built right into the wall of the building so they can be filled from the inside. We found it fascinating in this Catholic country.

In Italy you have to ask the pharmacist for any medicines, including antacids like Maalox, although this seems like it’s from Spain.

Condoms in vending machines? Seen it, it's common. Lube? Nah thats the god damn sex dispenser

Be ironic if an item got..........stuck

I know it's probably not Japan, but the first my brain thought of is Japan because they have some stupid and weird vending machines

"Aw dangit. My box got stuck. Oh well. I guess I'm buying that lube after all!"

Now ironic it would be if one of the lubes got stuck in the machine while dispensing...

Would be totally useless here, since condoms are distributed for free (Yet people keep having ''accidents'')

In Italy it's pretty normal. Never bought condoms from ppl, only vending machines

So if the box of condoms get stuck, do you try to drop lube on it to get it unstuck?
