You know how weird it is to purchase a pack of condoms in a convenience store here in our country? Well, at least for me, it feels like every eye in the store is watching me. And when I finally tell the counter that I am buying one, it feels like every ear is eavesdropping on me. Maybe it’s because buying a pack of condoms is kind of similar to announcing that you are getting laid, and in a country where most people are Catholics and/or conservative, you cannot just announce that you are having sex! But we all know sex is good. We also know how important safe sex is. And condoms are among the agents of safe sex. Condoms help avoid transmission of diseases and infections. So, it’s a must to have a pack of condoms whenever it’s sexy time. Here are some tips to lessen that weird, awkward feeling when buying condoms: Figure out what brand you’re gonna purchase before going there. It could be more aggravating to be actually standing in the counter for a longer time, choosing which brand you’d like to get. Enter the store very casually, more like nonchalantly. Just like how you would enter if you’re buying anything other than a pack of condoms. Act as if it is just a regular visit to the store. It would also help if you’d go to a store in an area where no one knows you. Know where condoms are located in the store. In 711 and Ministop, condoms are purchased over the counter. Know exactly how much it is. It’s better to not be waiting for change. While not necessary, you might feel more comfortable if you buy a few more things so you are not standing at the counter with nothing but a box of condoms. Wish that the counter has common sense. Look at him/her straight in the eye upon purchasing a pack of condom. It’s like telling them to be quick in bagging the condom. Walk out of the store calmly. Don’t celebrate that you’ve successfully purchased a condom. It’s not considered a major accomplishment. Remember that you are doing something responsible, both for your safety and your partner’s. I hope this is relevant. Practice safe sex, guys! Protect yourself from HIV.
