Why Buying Condoms is So Embarrassing
I remember where I was. Walmart, it was a Saturday. I was finally home from a 2 week business trip. As a pilot, every trip is a business trip. The kids were asleep, the movie was over, and I was tired. However, my wife and I a long time ago decided that 'I'm too tired' isn't a good excuse. We concluded that you're never too tired.
We weren't really ready to have another child, the two that we had were already a handful and having me gone so much required that she did a lot of the work. For anyone who has kids, you know that it is something that is better left for parents. So that one can rest.
We were both in the mood, but when I went to my secret drawer to get my condoms, I quickly realized I was out. We didn't want to take any chances at that point so I was to go to the store. It was Walmart . . . I still remember.
I walked into the Walmart and went straight to the birth control section. I found it empty. I figured this was because anyone who goes into that aisle knows exactly what they want and pick it up quickly so no one else can see. I went for the Trojan lubricated condoms. The same condoms I always get. I've never been comfortable buying condoms but it is a necessary evil.
When I usually buy condoms I bury them deep in my shopping cart so no one can see. This time, we were ready to make love so extraneous shopping wasn't crucial. I had my box, walked to the counter, and it was every man's nightmare. You can't make something like this up. I was amazed at how it worked.
I had one man in front of me with his beautiful wife. They had done some shopping, but not much. Just enough to 'bury' their own condom purchase. I raised my eyebrow in sympathy, until he placed the trojan magnum condoms on the conveyor. Trojan Magnum condoms are the extra large size. I felt a little squeamish. Before they checked out, I saw another couple. Less attractive but apparently there for the same product. He proudly placed his own Trojan Magnum condom box on the conveyor. I felt like I was the only man with an average sized penis now-a-days. The cashier looked over at the noise and saw his product, scanned the couple in front of me's condoms, and then looked at my hand. Why did the cashier have to be an attractive woman?
Needless to say I was surrounded by magnum condoms, and there I was with the average sized condoms. I'm sure the cashier though it was hilarious, and I felt humiliated. Every guy knows that once his penis is insulted there is no recovery. I felt like mine was too, and my wife was left without her lover that night. I just wasn't so much in the mood anymore.
During a party with some close friends, embarrassing stories were being brought up as a result of a game we were playing. My wife decided to tell this story; she still can't stop laughing about it. My friend told me "Ben, I know what you mean. But hey, I have a way around that"
He told me about a websitethat actually specializes in selling products that are embarrassing to purchase at the regular store. I can tell you, I love this resource. Whenever I need to buy condoms, feminine hygiene (the only thing worse than condoms to buy) or even jock itch powder, I always consult this site. Really, it has been a lifesaver. So much so that I tell everyone I know about it.
It's called DeliveringDignity.com. I just love how they save every man from being emasculated as I was.
