What dumb Fuck put an age restriction on buying condoms!? What if a sexually active 13 or 14 year old wants to practice safe sex but can't ask a parent or anyone older to buy them? They just have unprotected sex and expose themselves to STDs and unplanned pregnancy?

I'm a 36 year old father of two, my oldest boy will be a teenager soon, and while I don't love the idea of him having sex at such a young age it could be reality. Hopefully he feels comfortable asking me or his mom but if not I'd be terrified if he couldn't get them himself.

I'm just going to start leaving some in his room when he starts going through puberty. I'll do the same for my daughter when she reaches puberty but also help her get on birth control. It's just the smart thing to do!

Just so you're aware there is no age restriction on buying condoms in the usa and teen pregnancy rates are falling

You could get them their own amazon account. Just give them a $100 gift card and let them make it with their own email. He can then order anything he needs, without all the awkward “hey son, need some condoms?”

My mom asked me to get on birth control when I was 15 or 16. Best thing I ever did! I wasn��t very sexually active but it kept me safe.
