The other day while talking with my wife about contraception, the topic came up about buying condoms, and I said I would get them from the pharmacy. But when I entered the pharmacy and was about to buy them, I saw the neighbor from the apartment next door and felt so embarrassed that I left without buying anything. Now we’re discussing what to do but keep putting it off. What do you think we should do? What is usually done in situations like this? Should I not have been embarrassed?
I’ve experienced something similar; I walked into the pharmacy, but when I saw Ayfer from our company’s accounting department just as I was about to buy something, I totally panicked. Honestly, I just said whatever I needed from the internet; it feels easier to get it delivered.
Such things are not talked about in our neighborhood, don’t blame yourself too much. Using protection is the most natural thing, there’s no need to feel ashamed. You can find it online anyway, you’ll figure it out.
What kind of logic is this? Why does it matter to Aunt Ayşe what you bought? You’re already married; you’re getting what you need. If she doesn’t want to see it, she doesn’t have to look. There’s no need for this much pressure.
It’s completely natural to buy and use protective products; neither a pharmacist nor anyone else will judge you for this shopping. Health-related issues are not something to be shy about, so relax. Additionally, online sales provide a hygienic solution worth considering.
Let me also say that the female pharmacist seemed a bit too professional, which stressed me out a bit. It felt like I was doing something too serious. But I guess you’re right, there’s nothing to be ashamed of 
everyone says to buy online, but what if you needed it before the package arrives? I think you still need to learn how to buy face-to-face because you can’t always run away from it 
My partner said to me, ‘Don’t go to that pharmacy again, you’ve probably caught the woman’s eye now.’ I could only get things done online. Honestly, it’s hard to breathe easy in this society.
It still feels very normal to be ashamed about these topics, but taking the first step to break free from societal pressure is important. Health issues shouldn’t be taboo, because after all, this is your personal life and your health.
I’m sorry, but didn’t you discuss these things before getting married? For intimate matters in a person’s life, one should be clear with their partner first. Otherwise, such uncertainties will continue.
