being bored and quite pissed at the moment, i thought heh, why not
basically, i know you can get free condoms from many places, but i found out that you cannot get free ones delivered from online! i found one place that gave me 20 assorted condoms (not from durex, some other company) and many sachets of lube for free and delivered for free, but it was for gay/bi sexual only (iam not by the way, but free is free) so i was wondering
should there be a national website for giving out free condoms? or should people go to the clinics and centers that demand that you sit down and talk to them for 30mins about the dangers of sex, or should i stop being a scaby bastard and pay up ?
your thoughts ??

I thought this was what the "C" card scheme was for? I.e. you flash a card in certain places to get condoms, no questions asked/no lectures given.
Personally I just buy them, mostly 'cos I hate the extra-safe ones which are generally given away for free.

I don't believe you have a girlfriend. Enjoy your hand.

I dont think the c-card is used every where, i tried in norwich, they werent having any of it. But yes, they should just be free, and bloody cheap!
P.s. Sorry for lack of grammar, on the old mobile :p

Given how cheap you can get them on-line, compared to paying in the sex shop, chemist etc. then, no, they shouldn't be free on-line.
Popping into a clinic isn't that much of a pain and is quicker delivery than waiting for a package to arrive. If you are a regular, then they should recognise you and you wouldn't get the lecture every time - at least I hope you wouldn't, they should have better things to do than go through the same spiel every time...

Dont use them. Have been with fiance for 5 years though so not really needed. And before anyone says 'ah, but what if she gets pregnant', as some of you know she did.

What is this c-card? I don't know if/where there is a clinic in Aber...Free ones from the net would be nice, they are quite expensive in Boots, though they were running a 3 for 2 offer a while back...

Not the most suitable advice for everyone though. Don't listen kids! There's a place near here that has a condom machine in the gents. On it's 'Natural' brand, there's a picture of a bloke wearing a straw hat. As if you're meant to think 'Mmm, straw. Comfy.' Not the association I want to be making with a condom, frankly.

I'm just wondering if it's possible that free condoms should be accompanied by a "lecture"? After all, for people who know about contraception and are aware of STIs/pregnancy etc. buying condoms is a small price to pay in order to avoid such things. Also, the sex education budget in this country would be far better spent on education than a constant supply of free condoms to people are simply trying to avoid paying and/or a lecture. No?
Just wondering...
