     Two weeks ago my husband bought condoms.  They were a variety pack with something for everyone; ribbed for her pleasure, his pleasure, sensitive, heat activated.  Oh, and they were a multi pack so the pleasure could last all night long!     He returned them today. 

     “Didn’t need them?” asked the twenty something year old girl behind the counter.  He smiled and said very easily, ” No, not yet.”  Not in the slightest bit embaressed, my husband goes on to tell her that it was a ”good thing” that he hadn’t needed them because he found them on sale for half the price in another store.  “Good for you.”, says the young lady looking at the reciept from TWO weeks ago.  She was probably thinking to herself that the  ‘older man’ didn’t need them just yet because he was too busy bargain hunting for condoms than actually using them. 

     “Hey hun, baby food is on sale and I have coupons.”  He showed me a stores flyer that advertised that the baby food was on sale and this store doubled $1.00 coupons.  ”I’ll go in and use the coupon and then you can go in.”  So smart my man is since it’s only one coupon per customer.  Talk about doubling your pleasure!  “I have coupons for formula too.”, he smiled sheepishly.  Now I knew how we would be spending his day off.  

     Once we were a sex craving couple who stayed up all night partying and ’needing them’, making sure we had that fifty pack of condoms.  Now fifty condoms might last us the rest of our lives together.  It might sound sad but it’s actually a great life.  Now twelve years later, we temporarilly traded our condoms in for baby food and formula, but hey we are still together!  We have never been more intimate even though our sex life took a seat next to the box of diapers.  It is temporary.  Everything in life is a temporary state until the next state squeezes diaper rash lotion on your face.  Just make sure it’s on sale before you buy it.  If the mood strikes you, buy those condoms, buy that lube and return if necesarry! Be proud to say “No, I didn’t use them yet because I was too tired from being up all night with a crying baby.”   Then give her the coupon you have for baby wipes and be on your way.
