MessageThank you for the clarification on being able to purchase them; I was curious on the 'restrictions' on them in Texas.  Heh, I've only been here a year so there very well could have been a restriction that I did not know about.  :)

That being said, I guess it would depend on the situation at hand.  Do I know this 15 year old?  Do I feel comfortable with them asking me?  Do I feel comfortable with giving them one?  I don't think I would know the answers until it happened.

I guess if a 15 year old had the courage to ask me for one they are pretty decided that they are going to have sex.  Condoms not only prevent pregnancy but disease as well and I'm all for that.  I am astounded at the young age kids these days (wow, I feel very old saying that and I'm only 28) are having sex but if a 15 year old is at least asking for a condom then they are at least mature enough to be thinking about some of the consequences!

Just my thoughts!

XxX,
Elizabeta

  Yes we can.  We are not 'in loco parentis'.  Legally, you are within your rights to provide to a minor anything s/he can purchase in a store for him/herself.  And condoms fit that category.  

  I know this is setting some teeth on edge, so I'm going to put my Deputy Kingdom Chirurgeon hat on, snap it down tight and say this:  YOU as one individual human being, do not have to carry condoms.  You do not need to provide them to anyone you feel uncomfortable giving them to.  There is no law that forces a volunteer first-aid provider to open his kit to anyone who comes by for supplies of any sort.  If you make your personal decision to refuse such things to individuals who do not appear to be of legal age, I, for one, will NOT take your baldric, call the cops, or hang you from the petard at high noon (what's a petard?).  But do me just one favor, in the interests of peace in the SCA: don't lecture the kid, and don't run to his parents and tattle (thus breaking a huge confidence).  If you do either one, you will destroy a fair piece of the trust the Chirurgeonate has worked for many years to earn for itself among all groups in our Society.  Unless the kid's mother is your sister, of course. . . .   there are limits.

  That in mind, this is truly an enlightening conversation:  please continue!

    It's not them being able to buy them....It's can we "give" them too minors....when you act in place of a parent???I guess that's a good way to put it....

      Hello,

          Just curious but since when were condoms a age restricted purchase?  I've never heard that before.  Just curious; I don't have kids and I'm over 17  (heh) but I was just wondering.

      XxX,
      Elizabeta

      P.S. I would give the 15 year old one.
