That's great in theory. . .We taught our boys that if you're man enough to do it, you'd better be man enough to take care of getting protection!

Right? Don't they teach sex ed in schools anymore?That was my first thought too. This whole thread is skeevy
They do.Right? Don't they teach sex ed in schools anymore?
But does sex ed provide condoms or for that matter any birth control other than abstinence?Right? Don't they teach sex ed in schools anymore?
Do you think it’s too embarrassing (for the teen that has been private about girls, but is getting serious about one and about to go to college) to buy some protection for him and just leave it in his room.
This was so much easier with my daughter (or at least that’s how I remember it’s been 8 years)
And no need to be embarrassed with self check outs readily available.If he's old enough to go off to college, he's old enough to figure out how to buy condoms. This isn't 1950, where you have to ask the druggist for them--just walk into any drug store, Walmart, grocery store, gas station...
Not sure sex ed ever "provided" birth control but as best I remember it, even in the stone age they instructed on various methods.But does sex ed provide condoms or for that matter any birth control other than abstinence?
My kids high school gives away free condoms in the office. They said lots of people use to take them all the time. It’s provided by the local health unit and they would be in a big bowl in the office and kids could just come in and take them whenever they wanted.But does sex ed provide condoms or for that matter any birth control other than abstinence?
Which is exactly my point. Just because a boy or girl has the INFORMATION about BC doesn't mean they have ACCESS to it.Not sure sex ed ever "provided" birth control but as best I remember it, even in the stone age they instructed on various methods.
No. But we subscribe to the theory that if they're old enough to have sex, they're old enough to walk into Walmart and buy some condoms. The boys are 25 and 27 year old college grads and no grandchildren yet. They would have been mortified if I bought them some anyway. We talked with them and they had sex ed in school. The rest is on them.But does sex ed provide condoms or for that matter any birth control other than abstinence?
My mom subscribe to the theory if you need birth control come to me UNTIL I DID. Because of this I subscribed to the theory of provide BC (condoms) whether they need them or not.No. But we subscribe to the theory that if they're old enough to have sex, they're old enough to walk into Walmart and buy some condoms.
That's fine. Everyone is different. It worked for us.My mom subscribe to the theory if you need birth control come to me UNTIL I DID. Because of this I subscribed to the theory of provide BC (condoms) whether they need them or not.
You are very wise @low-key.here is some wisdom I will throw on everyone... so my advice is dont knock anyone else, if ya do it will come back and bit you in the ***
There's really no reasonable scenario where a college student wouldn't have access. Seriously - none.Which is exactly my point. Just because a boy or girl has the INFORMATION about BC doesn't mean they have ACCESS to it.
And I won't argue how you (and others) handle this topic is wrong. I just come at it from a different view point.That's fine. Everyone is different. It worked for us.
But at the same time nothing wrong with providing it to them in a discreet, no questions asked way, as the OP as suggested doing.There's really no reasonable scenario where a college student wouldn't have access. Seriously - none.
