If you are pretty sure you're going to be having sex later in the day, but don't know where or when, where do you keep your condom? Wallets are apparently bad because of the variable temperature deforming the condom or something. But a car's internal temperature varies a lot too, so a glovebox doesn't seem like a much better option. So where do you put your condom(s) when you bring them with you?

Rudel73

just put it on in advance

My wallet. Since I know I'll be using one later in the day, I don't think that a few hours would be enough to completely chnage chemical composition of latex causing it to break.

wallet. i think the temperature only affects them if the changes happens over a period of time. in saying that i have kept some for a couple of weeks and i havent had a problem.

only problem i have found with keeping them in my wallet is if my female friends have a look through my wallet and see one in there...

i go for the wallet also but make sure it's not in there for long.

Ace_O_Spades

I keep some in my dresser drawer if i'm having someone at my place... If I'm going out after school I throw some in my backpack then transfer to a pocket.

I don't keep them in my wallet, I don't know why

don't use them with my gf, but I uesd to keep them in my wallet

Willravel

-cryogenic freezing chamber
-front pocket
-in your girlfriend's purse
-keep it with your preist
-put it in a sandwich
-tie it to the roof of your car
-on your dogs collar
-on a banana
-put it in a condom and swallow it
-put it in the ocean and if it comes back to you it's good luck
-give it to your best friends girlfriend and wink at her

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll think of something.

Stick

I don't take any with me cause we'll end up back at my place anyway - they're in the cupboard. If she really must interfere with me when we're out, then she can swallow it.

in my sex-supplies box, wood box with a lock... contains KY and condoms... none of the condoms in there are good anymore... i leave the condoms to the ladies since she decides when we do it...

I wish men had the responsibility of birth control...guys, ever wonder what a pain in the ass it is for us women to take a fricken pill everyday that reduces our sex drive, Fs with our hormones... OR shove some "device" up our cooches? It is a real burden sometimes.
You wanna impress a chick, tell her that you'll take care of the birth control issue. She is SO yours.

Stompy

Everywhere you could possibly end up having sex. Put one in your pocket/wallet, one next to your bed, one in living room, etc

there are LOTS of people that need to take medication daily for various things...stop your complaining.

and BTW...its both persons responsibility since it takes at least two to fuck. i know my woman wouldnt relieve me of all my responsibilities if she became pregnant just because she forgot to take her pill.

fhqwhgads

If I *know* that I'll be using it later, I just duct tape it to my forehead. The ladies love that.

Seaver

They got the male pill in testing. When it comes out I will definately be on it. Not only because I'm sure she'll appreciate it, but quite frankly to ensure my gf doesnt pull one of those "oops" to force into marriage (happened to a friend).

bendsley

I went over to some girl's house one night to study. Studying led to kissing, etc. Eventually we ended up in her bed. I didn't have any condoms on me at all as I wasn't expecting anything to happen. She reached over me, opened the drawer on the night stand and pulled one out. Now that I think about it, that always kind of scared me even though my performance that night was legendary.

Wait.....all of my performances are legendary.

astrahl

Yeah, but your woman (if you have one) takes the pill so you can fuck her...not to ease her arthritis or allergies. And I have right to complain about something that is unjust in the pharmaceutical industry, sexism. So push off hoser, eh?

MikeyChalupa

That's one way to look at it. You could also make the valid argument that she takes the pill so SHE can fuck HIM (or anyone else) without having to deal with the consequences of a pregnancy.

vox_rox

I ALWAYS wear two. That way, just before sex I take one off, and it feels like I'm naked!

Peace,

Pierre

If I get the idea that I'm getting some I make sure to have some on my person - pockets.

Coat or jacket pockets are my favorite followed by any pocket not already occupied by the wallet, the keyes or the cellphone (usually, that means the left rear). This can also lead to spontaneity - as in the date has been really good and you have to go for it in the elevator, in the car, or just after the front door closes. The worst thing that can happen is that one falls out at an inopportune moment and the following line seems to be made for that instant:

"Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it."

I have a box on my night-table that has change, cufflinks, fingernail clippers, etc.etc. in it - beneath all the stuff there are always three condoms never more than two months old (if they sit there for more than 2 months they get tossed out).

st33lr4t

and who forces you to take it? you take it by choice so put the tissues away.

J-DaWg

HAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHA ... whew!

snowy

I always keep one in my purse, just in case he runs out...

You could put it behind your ear. Hard to lose it, easy to notice when it's missing and everyone around you knows you're getting some later.

Personally, I have little stashes of them all over the place. In the medicine cabinet, bed side table, glove compartment, book bag, wallet and front pocket (when applicable). I've never been a boy scout and I certainly aren't setting any records for *getting some,* but I'm a firm believer in being prepared. In the off chance I luck out and convince/fool a woman into sleeping with me, I don't want to screw that up because of a technicality.

I'm going to design a keychain that securely stores one condom at optimum temperature and other conditions.

I just keep ours in my drawer under my bed. If we need one for somewhere else besides the bed, I'll slip it into my purse.

That's great!

Or, if you're really greasy, keep the whole box rolled up in your t-shirt sleeve. Especially if it's a really old and worn-out white tee, then everyone can see your brand.

Peace,

hahah that is hilarious.

I usually just keep em in my room, and find a way to get back there. I guess sporatic sex is out of the question, but I don't really have sex these days anyway.

Prince

ROLF!!!

I'd just keep it in the wallet, if I used them.

I'm one of those fuckheads that leaves it to the woman to take the pill.

You're not a fuckhead, but at least show some consideration for the fact that we women get stuck with the pharma bs, that's all. We've got the pill, the patch, the implant and all that other garbage when it is a biological fact that a man's chemisty is easier to control.
Facts are facts, and that is all I was trying to point out.

1010011010

I seem to recall there being a perennial problem with permanent sterility in male medical birth control. I'd agree that males are generally more sensitive to hormone exposure, but that would make things harder to control, not easier. Seriously, what makes you think that a "male pill" should be easier to achieve?

I had a glow-in-the-dark polyhedron. The holes in the hexagonal face tiles were just the right size to allow condoms to pass through with a little force, but not have them fall out on their own. It was also easy to find in the dark.

Woah, 1010011010, thats clever.

As for me, I just stick with my wallet.

astrahl

Good question. Speaking from a purely chemical standpoint, spermatogenesis should be something that can be controlled/controllable with a pill or other ingestable chemical. It is a relatively simple process that is often affected by something as simple as tight underwear, hot tubs, or riding a bike alot.

The female hormone cycle involves not just one but several hormones acting in a cascade and cycle that requires an orchestration that, when fiddled with, plays havoc with other systems in the female. The pill decreases sexual drive (ironic), increases blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular problems.

The problem will male contraception is, in the past, THEY have offered male birth control with a scalpel or a needle and that usually has sent men running the other way (funny, that).

You have peaked my curiousity on the subject. I'm going to check out some research in the area and perhaps "report" back on what I find...

bendsley

condoms? you don't need no stinkin' condom.

just pull out and tell her to get ready for the money shot!

phathom

the real reason that you aren't supposed to keep them in your wallet is because the leather contracts a lot of body heat and the pressure and the heat make it decompose, what i do with mine is keep it between 2 expired credit cards, that way it acts as a constant temperature and buffer, also it keeps it flat and stops it from bending or deforming. over 2 years doing it like this I have not had a problem.

Martel

Somewhat more permanent, no?

I'll be the first to say that birth control screws up women's hormones more than it is worth (or can... my fiancee and I recently elected to go back to condoms and get her offa the NuvaRing because of various issues and have been thrilled with the results), but getting a vasectomy is only something to do if you are absolutely positively sure that you don't want to have kids in the future.

Female hormonal birth control has its downsides, but its a lot more convenient than anything else at the moment, and while we'd rather have normal/high sex drive while using condoms than low/no sex drive using hormones, we're definitely trying to find a way to not have babies and not have to use condoms either.

boom29

I used to always put them in a bag/box under my bed or taped to the back of the bed so that I could just reach over and grab one when I needed it. Since my bed was always against atleast one wall, it wasn't noticeable and was always accessible for me.

bad jane

have her talk with her ob/gyn about an iud. it's good for about 10 years, no hormones and if you decide you want to try for kids, you can start as soon as she has it removed.
