If contraceptives aren't going to be free, they should all be in vending machines. No 16yo is going to ask a manager to unlock condoms...

Are they kept locked where you live?

At the grocery store by my house they are in a plastic box and the attendant has to take them out. Any embarrassment I feel is better than having a baby.

Embarrassed? Ask for 2 boxes with a big shit eating grin. Nothing wrong with protecting yourself.

They are locked in most cities (at least in the US) due to being a high theft item...

Also being from the US, I can confirm this must be a “big city” issue as they’re right out in open here.

Frankly, if you can’t bring yourself to ask someone to unlock the condom cabinet, you’re probably not mature enough to be fucking.

I'm sure that stops the horny teens. As long as sex is free and fun, it will always happen. Making it harder and more expensive to do so safely is just dumb.

Alright big brain, you’re saying not having the courage to ask someone to unlock the condom cabinet makes sex expensive and prohibited? It’s a basic concept of responsibility and accountability. If you can’t speak up, then I can’t imagine your partner should feel very optimistic about you sticking around after you bring another human being into this world since you decide not to wear a condom.

You're assuming teens can think this way yet. Most of this rational thought doesn't finish developing until their early twenties.

It's not a decision when someone else decides to make them cost money even though you have no disposable income. It is not a decision when society makes them hard to get and you don't have transportation to get them away from your overbearing parents.

Contraceptives should be free and available everywhere people are. Anything less is just asking for even more unwanted children. I work with unwanted children. The world does not need anymore.

Bitch, if you can’t even ask the guy behind the counter for a dick wrapper then get the fuck out of my sight. “Embarrassed”
