[quote=Anonymous]When my son was in the 8th grade, there was a boy 'caught' at school selling condoms for 0.50 each.

An anonymous survey was given to all 8th graders and the overwhelming reason why the kids who purchased them did was curiosity.

I have a friend who likes to tell a party story about not knowing what "pinch the tip" meant regarding applying a condom.  He came from a very religious family and his parents always opted him out of sex ed classes.  It wasn't until he was applying a condom in college to have sex with his then girlfriend that he was corrected on how to do it.  He'd literally been pinching the tip of his penis, not the condom when rolling it on and having sex with his previous HS girlfriends.

I know when my husband had the talk with our son, he gave him some condoms.  He talked with me beforehand and I was fine with this.  I'd rather my kid know how to use the protection properly now rather than trying to figure it out in the heat of the moment.  [/quote]
