No there is NO law stated age limit to buy condoms.  Just individual embarrassment of buyer.\nThat is why you have condom dispensing machines in public toilets in buildings malls etc.

It totally depends where you live.  In some states or cities, you can buy either a pellet gun or airsoft at 14 and its no problem.  In other places you can't buy either one untill your at least 18 and 21 if its a realistic looking handgun replica. \n\nJust call Wal-Mart here you live and ask them or go to the sporting goods department and look around.  They usually have any age restictions posted near the airguns if you have to be a certain age to buy them.  Make sure you have an adult teach you about how to use either of these types of airguns safley and get permission before you buy one.  Hope that helps.

you can buy condoms basically anywhere.  Usually I get mine at the drug store like Longs right where the pharmacy area is. If you feel weird about asking someone who works there, just look around and you'll find them easily.  Maybe you can take a friend with you so you feel more comfortable!!

Wow, sounds like have several problems here.\n\nFirst, why are having sex with no condom? Even if the boy doesn't ejaculate inside you, you are still at VERY likely to get pregnant or infected.\n\nAnd second, why aren't you just telling boys to not do it? Why aren't you taking control of your own body?\n\nHere are some links to information about infections, birth control, and safer sex. Especially, learn how to put a condom on a boy. No boy is EVER going to admit that he doesn't know everything in the world about sex (and a bag of chips) but that's baloney. YOU learn the right way and YOU do it; then you know it's done right. There is a VIDEO of this on the page. And read up on how to talk partners about things like condoms and how to set limits.\n\nIf there is a Planned Parenthood office in your town, call them. You need to get some more information so that you can enjoy this activity responsibly and safely.\n\nAnd remember -- YOU ARE THE GIRL -- you have the sweet stuff all the guys want, so YOU are the BOSS. If a boy does things you don't like, dump him. There's 100 waiting to take his place and treat you right.\n\nhttp://www.teenwire.com/\nhttp://www.plannedparenthood.org/

Are you talking about sex? Okay, we have restrictions so young people don't go and get pregnant at 14 and throw away the rest of their life taking care of a baby. So they can find out about the dangers of STD's and have an opportunity to finish school before they destroy their future with an unplanned baby while in High School.\n\nBut if you want to do it go ahead and be like most kids these days.(I'm not advising you either way, your probably grown up enough)

The problem may not be in the brand of condom but in the size of the condom.  He may be using regular Trojans, but his endowment may require a Trojan Magnum or Magnum XL.  Research shows that Trojan Condoms are #1 in protecting against pregnancy and STDs, so trying another size may be the best thing.

Preferably around 18, no younger than 15 or 16.  It's more about the maturity of the person and how responsible they are in practicing safe sex and prepared for any "accidents" and consequences.  I was around 16, and was ready and responsible enough and had a steady partner I loved.

In the state of Kansas, males are not of legal age (technically) until the age of 21.  Females it is 18 years of age.  Go figure.

Actually there is much truth in what you say. About 12 years ago my wife and I used one of those ultra thin condoms. Of course the reason is for a more real feel! Heres what happened three consecutive condoms shredded apart during use! Result my 11 year old son!

Have someone buy you a case.  Wait til you turn 18.

There's no age limit for someone to purchase condoms.  If your neice went out and bought a pack, please don't punish her; she's acting responsibly to a natural curriousity about sex.  To punish her would discourage her from buying and using them... and statistics point quite painfully to where that leads.  Telling her parents when she's not around may be in order, so that they will not only have time to cool down (assuming that her parents are the type that punish first, ask questions later), but can also approach her after thinking out what they're going to say.  You can't stop the curriousity of hormones; not only do every Jack one of us go through it, every Jack one of us owes our lives to it.\n\nPerhaps she's not even buying them to use them:  I remember, in my immature days in High School, buying them simply to stretch them over doorknobs.  A few times, my friends and I would leave them--unwrapped, of course--lying around in the school's hallway.  It was something to laugh at, and a big part of our glee was because adults made such a fuss over them.  Call it part of the rebelleon of youth.\n\nSexual experimentation is natural!  It's the timing that's lousy due to her age.  But if teenagers were not allowed to buy contraceptives, we'd have quite a few more teenage pregnancies.  Good luck!  I hope cooler heads prevail, and all turns out well.

I don't think there is realy an age that is appropriate, because all people have different maturity levels at different times in their lives. I lost mine at the age of 16 and I'm 22. My boyfriend got my drunk and basically took advantage of me. Don't get me wrong, I could have said no, but I didn't. Today I wish I would have waited. Thinking about when my son gets older and if he ever asked mom, when did yo first have sex. Most parents would never hear that so I probably won't, but what if they were to ask? Although, I would never take it back because it got me where I am today, I've been happily married for two years with a gorgeous ten month old son. People make mistakes, but hopefully they learn from them. Society isn't the problem I don't think. i think the parents and schools need to start at a young age teaching values, because they are lacking somewhere.

age doesnt matter, but you should wait until you are an adult, you dont want him to get into trouble, remember, statutory rape is still rape even if the minor consents

I do understand the need for the "age of consent" laws, but I also think that they go too far at times.  I have heard of cases where an 18 year old male had consensual sex with his 16 year old girlfriend, and was charged with "statutory rape" even though neither the girl or her parents wanted him to be charged.  I have also heard of cases where a 16 year old girl dresses and puts on makeup to look 21, gets a fake ID, goes into a club, lies to a guy and says she is 21, has consensual sex with him, then he is charged with rape even though she admits she lied about her age.  Cases like that definitely should have variances in the law.

It's not a matter of age, it is a matter of height.  You have to be tall enough to reach up and put your money on the counter.  Seriously, there is no age limit for buying products from GNC.

i live in illinois, and i know that you have to be 18 to buy it.  it could require a FOID card, but i kinda doubt that, since air guns are nothing compared to the other weapons out there.

try to asks so that you will not get mistake again in buying condom. or try to buy an ordinary one or a common size of condom.
