    Something I heard on the auld wireless... would you consider a woman that carries condoms to be a "slut" or that she sleeps around a lot?

    Personally I would subconciously, but yet I always carried them when I was single, just in case :P

    This shouldn't be the case though, it's not fair to thing this, but it's a subconcious thing.

    Discuss.

    I shouldn't, but I do.

    Sluts are people too y'know. The best kind or people. They give uggos like me a chance.

    A woman is a slut for taking control of her sexual health? Nice. :rolleyes:

    Obviously. Any woman who has sex is clearly a trollop. Presumably, like the rest of us, you were found under a cabbage leaf?

    Nope.So what if she carries one? Smarter then the fella without one.

    Yea, I was with a girl before in college who had a bowl full of condoms on a shelf beside her bed. Classy.

    God I must be the biggest tramp on the planet..I went into Boots one day a few months back and bought a massive box of rubbers for me and my husband!!!

    Jesus to think the staff we're looking at me like I was a slag ... and they were flavoured too!!! Ten hail marys for me I think :D

    Seriously you think men would be delighted women were taking equal responsibility for things like this. I guess we still have that old Catholic mentality dont we no matter how cosmopolitan we like to think we are.

    hmmmm, I remember a girlfriend i had a few years ago that i fell for quite hard. The first night i stayed at her place I saw a box of them on her shelf and it was open and I was a little stressed over it! But she was a grown 31 year old woman you have to get over these things. My latest gf had them but i met her while backpacking and she was doing the same, so no surprise she had them. You dont care at the start but if you start going out with them after, it may nag at you a bit, like you'll think "who was she banging before me? how soon before me??" etc. I never carry them, I consider them bad luck, if I did carry them I bet i'd never get laid.

    Nah, fair dues... but the general sub concious thought is, "she's a slut"... it's not that difficult to understand really.

    More the slut for not wearing a condom, but generally, this is what men tend to think. 'twas on the radio n all...

    The "holier than thou" posts are fcuking sickening. People, really...

    It was a discussion on the wadio, got me thinking, rarely would I be with a woman that has condoms, it seems to be expected of the men to carry them. Where exactly did this originate from? Sex is taboo etc etc.

    I carry condoms, but I have put holes in them 'cause I want a baybeh.

    If your going to go with the girl who has no condoms rather than the one who does because you have some 1950's attitude about what kind of "morals" she has then you deserve every little skanky disease going

    I was just about to say that I would be positively surprised and appreciate it actually, although I would always be bringing my own if I suspected that kind of fun was on the agenda :p

    But now... erm... let's just say I'd be surprised and check them excessively for holes... and take my own in the end. It's all about peace of mind after all.

    Sorry if our opinions don't tally with yours.

    If a woman carries condoms, it doesn't necessarily mean she's solely "out for the ride", it means she's protected in case she gets "the ride" (may, may not). Consider that instead of the cop-out likes of "I think she's a slut. Sorry, can't help it, that's just the way it is".

    You seem to think, or better yet, assume that because a woman doesn't carry condoms she will have unprotected sex. This is not the debate. It is as follows "would you consider a woman who carries condoms to be a slut?".

    The fact that she is carrying condoms, the same way a man carries condoms, would suggest that she is searching for sex, or is ready for sex. For some reason, people think that this is slutty, why? I have no idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,811 ✭✭✭Gone Drinking


    There was a thread on this awhile ago.. it turned into a cat fight between female boardies that carry condoms, and female boardies that think carrying condoms you look like a slag.

    I'd search for it, but you know the story.

    Bit simplistic. A lot of women just don't have casual sex with randomers, so there's no need to carry condoms. It's not a matter of 'if she doesn't carry condoms, she's happy to bareback with someone she's after meeting in the pub'. And if such a person did decide to shag someone, there's always plenty of condom machines around.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭Long Onion


    I have seen many sights sites on the mighty mighty internet all of which lead me to belive that a woman who carries condoms is, in fact, a prude.

    Creampies and Bukkake are de rigeur for the new recessionista brigade ...




    ... probably.

    See that really bugs me and the woman who more than likely in most cases has had less then you but she doesnt think about nor judge on how many women you have shagged and dumbed or treated like shiat :rolleyes:
    Equality lives :D

    Well it's not really an issue but if I'm really into the girl it will cause a little panic for me! It's my problem not hers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    You've got 2 condoms with you on a night out. You score and head back to hers.

    By next morning when you've used the 2 condoms you'll be thankful that she's got a box of them in her bedside locker.

    Seriously anyone who thinks girls that have condoms in their room are sluts really have a very sad view of the world.

    Very simple, a woman that carries condoms or has them at home just incase should not be viewed as a slut.

    A woman who does this is a lot smarter and has more of my respect then the guy who goes out and thinks ah sure whats the worse that can happen or sure i'll just pull out love.

    Get a grip its the 21st century, a woman who takes care of her health isnt a slut.

    Yeah but why i really don't understand that.If you love her and she loves you then shouldn't even cross your mind.I mean i dont know any women at all who would ever even think of their bf exs( I am sure there is some who do).But men seem to have hang up on it.I know its not her problem but can cause problems in relationship and then that is her problem.

    I agree. Plus I'd rather sleep with someone that practices safe sex than wake up one morning with an STI.

    Everyone has sex, girls that cary condoms should be commended. It's the girls that sleep around and don't practice safe sex that you should be worried about.*


    *this also applies to guys that don't wear condoms.

    it's just some thing built into our psyche, we can't help it. Anyway as I said it's not something I would express concern about to a girl, and I think all modern women should keep condoms.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 231 ✭✭mandysmithers


    I would think the reason a girl (or guy) doesn't carry a condom with her regularly is because she's not expecting to have casual sex, and not because she doesn't take care of her health. I'm sure there's some who don't care about that, but I'd say the majority who don't have condoms with them probably aren't going to have regular, random ONS.

    I had a girl turn to me one morning after a night in her bed and say "So you don't mind wearing condoms then?"

    Made me wonder how many guys she'd shagged without one due to her apparent surprise that I would wear one willingly.

    As soon as I was out of there it was Golden Pages.... Health Clinics. Let me tell you.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,636 ✭✭✭dotsman


    Christ, there are a lot of people posting here who have fcuked up views of women. Let me guess, the fact that she slept with you on the first night also makes her a "slut".

    For me, a woman carrying a condom is an excellent thing. It means that she takes her sexual health seriously, which is extremely important to me if I am going to sleep with her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,111 ✭✭✭Jesus Juice


    Sure if girls wanna buy them let em off cause they are expensive as ****!

    Condoms not girls!

    I suppose....I'm not saying that they're sluts or anything, but if you're not interested in having a ONS, then why bother carrying condoms? If you're single, and you have condoms with you, then you obviously want to use it as some stage if you meet someone you fancy and the situation arises.

    However, wanting to have sex with someone does not make a person a slut.
