Alright, let’s talk about this condom thing, you know, those rubber things for… well, you know. Folks keep askin’, is there like a age limit or somethin’? Like, do you gotta be a grown-up, like old enough to drink or somethin’?
So, can you buy ’em if you’re young?
Well, from what I hear, and what my grandkids tell me, nobody really cares how old you are when you buy these things. You could be a young’un, just sprouted up, or you could be an old fart like me, it don’t matter none. They ain’t gonna card you for condoms, that’s for sure.
- You walk into a store, any store, like the big grocery place or that little shop down the street, and you just grab ’em.
- Nobody’s gonna ask how old you are. It ain’t like buyin’ beer or cigarettes.
Seems like you can get ’em anywhere too. Drugstores, big supermarkets, even them little gas stations on the corner, they all got ’em. And nobody’s gonna bat an eye if you buy ’em. It ain’t nobody’s business, I reckon. And you don’t need a doctor’s note or nothin’. You just go and get ’em, simple as that.
Now, I heard some folks sayin’ maybe you gotta be 18, but that ain’t true. My grandson, he’s just a young fella, he got some, no problem. They just sell ’em to ya, long as you got the money. Ain’t no law against it, far as I know. You don’t even need an ID, just the cash. Seems like it’s the same everywhere, not just here. They sell ’em to anybody.
Why wouldn’t there be an age limit?
Well, I reckon it’s because these things, these condoms, they keep folks from gettin’ sick, you know? And they help stop babies from comin’ before folks are ready for ’em. So, it makes sense they wouldn’t want to stop nobody from gettin’ ’em, no matter how old they are. If you need ’em, you need ’em, that’s all there is to it.
And let me tell you, back in my day, we didn’t have such things. Or if we did, nobody talked about ’em. Things were different then, a lot different. But now, seems like everybody knows about ’em, and that’s probably a good thing. Keeps folks healthy and outta trouble.
Where can you find these condoms?
Like I said, they’re everywhere. You can get ’em at the drugstore, the grocery store, even them little convenience stores. And they ain’t expensive neither, least not the plain ones. My grandson told me you can even get ’em online now, delivered right to your door. Imagine that! Times sure have changed. And you can get them from doctors’ offices, health centers, and even sometimes from special machines in the wall.
And another thing, you ain’t gotta be embarrassed about buying ’em. Lots of folks use ’em, young and old, married and not married. It’s just part of life now, I guess. Nothin’ to be ashamed of, that’s for sure.
So, the long and short of it is…
…you can buy condoms at any age. Don’t let nobody tell you different. If you need ’em, you go get ’em. Ain’t nobody’s gonna stop ya, and that’s a good thing, if you ask me. It’s about being responsible and takin’ care of yourself, and that’s somethin’ everyone should do, no matter how old they are. It ain’t like buyin’ a car or somethin’, it’s different. It’s about bein’ safe and smart.
Some advice from an old lady…
Now, I’m no expert on these things, mind you, but I’ve seen a lot in my life. And I reckon it’s always better to be safe than sorry. So, if you think you need ’em, don’t be afraid to get ’em. And don’t listen to nobody who tries to make you feel bad about it. It’s your business, nobody else’s. And remember, stayin’ healthy and makin’ good choices, that’s what really matters in the end. So go on, live your life, but be smart about it, ya hear?
