like you have to be 18 to buy porn, or sex toys, or anything like that...but do condoms fall under the same laws

no, there have been huge battles over the matter, where stores have refused to sell contraceptives to minors and there is no age restriction. i can't speak for state or other local regulations, though i doubt there are any state laws either.
it's stupid to keep condoms away from anybody who's copulating, or anybody who wants to be a rebel in the big water balloon fight.

yeah, it didn't seem like there ought to have been a law against it...but then again - look at how many other crazy ass laws we got in this country that don't make a piss of sense
I just knew that teenagers weren't allowed in porn shops, and that even in gas stations - the condoms are always behind the counter (where they keep everything else that you have to be a certain age to buy) so it seemed at least *possible* that they were regulated too
which didn't seem right to me

at least here they'll definitely sell them to you no matter what - teen pregnancy rates are always through the roof here.
like someone said, they're behind the counter at a lot of stores because people are either too cheap or too shy to pay for them so a lot get stolen when they're out in the aisles.

I can only assume you are under 18 then?

Are you fucking stupid?
I think everyone here knows that Muppet is 18.
He's probably asking so he knows if his 14-year old girlfriend can pick them up on the wa home from school, or if he has to make a special trip.

anywhere in the southeast coast you can buy them under 18(from northcarolina to FL). i know from personal experience, but yeah i wouldnt be surprised to find out that there are a couple of odd ball states. i heard they give you a bag full of them at health departments in upstate southcarlina where i used to live.. the only way i would see it being illegal is if a person under the age of 15 was buying them, since it is illegal for kids that are 15 to get down... in south carolina anyway.. c'mon use your head... have you ever heard of anyone getting ID'd for condoms??

I dont think there is an age to buy condoms. The US seems to make a huge deal out of safe sex, so I am pretty sure you can buy at any age.

this girl I was working with mentioned some shit about how she got turned away for trying to buy em because of her age, and that just didn't seem right to me
I was just curious if that really was what the laws said or no

i don't have any citations for this but i've heard of legal cases over the legality of an individual store owner to refuse the sale of controceptives to minors.

I dunno...they always got them signs up that say they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, so I would guess that from a legal standpoint they can get away with it

i can put up a disclaimer that i reserve the right to stab nuns with forks, but that dosen't give me such a right. it is actualy unlawful, in business, to discriminate on the basis of age.

Here in Michigan, I see stores that have them both behind the counter and out in the aisles. I remember when I was 15 going into the gas station to buy condoms, the clerks were always wry of selling them to me. I never got ID but I did get "how old are you, aren't you a little young?" and always the dirty looks.

If I were ever ID'd while buying condoms I would show them my ID and let them ring me up and grab a whole shit ton of candy, magazines, and w/e else they had at the register and have them ring that up too. Then after they total it out I would tell them to fuck off and take my leave.
Refusing to sell condoms to somebody is just fucking dumb. I don't care if the person is 15. I could bust a nut at 15, I don't see why they should be refused condoms.
People who refuse the sale of condoms to minors should be castrated with a white hot rusty coathanger.
