When I first bought condums when I was 16 I wasn't ashamed of the fact that I was purchasing them, it's just a subject that has bad voodoo. I mean you can sit there and tell yourself, "HELL YEAH I'M GETTING LAID", but your privacy still feels slightly invaded.

I have no problems purchasing things, it's not like I'll see those people again, or if I do it's infrequently.

KhainiWest Wrote:Google this exactly;

site:basilmarket.com ashamed to buy nx?

It's common, as this would be.

Common or not, I really could care less of what people think of me with the items I'm checking out with, and I'm sure they really don't care, either.

Same could be applied to doctors and such. They see enough people in their offices, it's not like you're the most unusual patient they've dealt with before.

KhainiWest Wrote:But it's not about YOU YOU YOU. It's about the general populace, you're questioning why it's so difficult, well there's your answer. It's a common insecurity every person has to deal with at one time or the other. One is "hey I want have sex with no repercussions" the other is "I might have HIV/AIDS and die alone".

Eos Wrote:The view point you just expressed is an example of the narrow minded judgmental crap that leads to stigmas on these things in the first place.

There are countless reasons why people have unprotected sex not in the least of which is A) Not knowing better because they've never had any form of sex ed or B) thinking they're in a safe committed relationship with someone they trust. C) being pressured in a moment of weakness D) being taken advantage of our outright raped

There's also the fun filled fact that protection can in fact fail.

I strongly get the feeling from everything you've said and continue to say that you just want to look at it as something dirty and wrong that they chose to go out and expose themselves to and get because it somehow makes you feel better about yourself.

Eos Wrote:Unfortunately many people have it and don't know because they're not comfortable going in for a test, can't afford a test by a physician, are too ashamed to go to a free clinic for a test, or simply have never even considered they may have a reason to be tested. Making testing more available in more ways can only help.
