Things that would be better not seen

I lately visited a female friend of mine, divorced. I was washing my hands when my eyes saw, in a kind of basket to hold various toilet trinkets, a condom in a wrapper. I wondered if it was for her, or for her daughter, who recently had reached 18.

Maybe it was a subtle hint.

…maybe too subtle.

As an adult why does a condom out bother you? I think it’s good that they are practicing safe sex.

Better than finding a used condom out in the open!!!!

I don't find it odd at all in today's world and not a bad idea to have one handy when one needs it. Now my wife has boxes full of condoms of various types, even ones that glow in the dark, come in nice ways to carry them like a key chain, necklaces, etc. Okay, so a bit of explaining needs to be done here, she works for the state health dept. and handles the STD and HIV cases, and also does outreach, education, etc. Was just thinking, I think she even might have some of the female condoms that are now available.

Did you ask? If so, what was the answer?

Inquiring minds want to know! 🤔

As @GregB mentioned, I don't see why it should be bothersome to see such a thing in a trash, where it belongs. Safe sex is indeed important. Furthermore, you were at her place, so she doesn't have to make sure to completely hide things that have already been discarded from eyes that are not hers. And as @gwhap said, at least it wasn't in the open…

Id much rather provide condoms for my family when older than have unplanned teenage pregnant daughters or son responcible for someone elses.

Not mention protect against sti.
