By carrying our own protection, we are taking responsibility and control of our lives. Do what is important to you because at the end of the day somebody will always have an opinion about things that don't concern them.They are not the ones that will have to take care of us if we got sick, because we were afraid of what people would say.

Guys we are young we wouldn't throw away everything for 5 minutes for some its less lol!!! Personally if she carries condoms then she responsible and cares about her partner(and herself), its not only HIV/AIDS she could also fall pregnant. you wouldn't want babies if you are not ready. A girl who carries condoms is cool and deserves a pat in the back. Always remember for choice you make there will always be consequences. its up to you.

And if its a girl i met for the first time, i would think twice about approaching her.what is she doing packing? and how many other guys has she been with? but anyway if its a girl i've been with for sometymm...
