For some, that’s less than a month’s supply.
For many people price is a barrier. One which has no need to exist, and only exists because for some reason Christian bosses don’t want to recognize that their employees have sex, and get all weird about it.
College health centers usually only hand them out to their students. Do you think people stop having sex after they graduate?
This is besides the fact that the best way to reduce abortions and unwanted pregnancies on the whole is to provide and encourage contraceptives. One way to do that is make condoms and contraception covered by healthcare.
Edit to add: man, I get enough awkwardness buying my partner’s tampons if she needs a top-off. I certainly don’t want her knowing my dick size.
Don't be embarrassed, nobody gives a shit about that stuff. Also... if you're using condoms... how would she not already know your dick size!?
Funny… so I’m leaving it… but you do know I was referring to the cashier knowing?
And yes, this particular cashier does comment on the tampons- and given the whole-getting-hit-on-thing, the less she knows about me the better.
(Walmart Lady needs higher standards.)
If you’re having sex more than once very day but can’t come up with $15, you should go fuck yourself (pun intended)
No but they can afford them with their easy-to-get high paying job due to graduating right? /s
Why wouldnt you want your partner to know your dick size?
None of their business
I'm very curious how you have sex with them.
Look I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. The type of people to not be able to afford $15/month most likely don't have insurance, or even access to a pharmacy. While there isn't any real data on the venn diagram of people having sex more than once a day and being too poor to afford an extra 50¢ per day for every extra sex session, but I suspect it is vanishingly small.
At some point this is just virtue signaling. It's eyeroll inducing.
First off, condoms break…not often but they do.
secondly, some use toys that may or may not need to be also covered.
Third, you really should be changing condoms after anal and going to something else.
Finally there are people that are incredibly… uh… horny. I’m not one of them, but yes, they do in fact exist. There’s a reason many senior living homes pass around free condoms, too.
And on the note of people having health insurance… that’s also a problem that should be solved. But that’s rather off topic.
