At the college I go to, the school provides safe sex kits in all the dorms and Greek houses. It's essentially a drawer in the common kitchen that's filled with condoms. The supply is replenished once a week (we go through them fast!) by the health center and they offer a diverse range of condoms: lubricated, non-lubricated, spermicidal, non-spermicidal, ribbed, pleasure contoured, etc. The brands are varied too; Durex, Trojan, Lifestyles...even Rough Rider. I have even, no word of a lie, seen flavored condoms and condoms in novelty colors in the assortment. They often have "Snug Fit" condomswhich I'm pretty sure is just a euphemism for "small"so there's obviously some concern for size, BUT I have NEVER in two years seen a single larger sized condom. No Magnums, no Magnum XLs, no Durex XXLs, nothing.
I, like many guys on this site and I'm sure other guys on my campus as well, find regular-sized condoms impossible to wear. So I, unlike most guys on my campus, am forced to purchase my own condoms. Also, unlike most other guys, if I run out of my own condoms, I do not have the convenience of simply walking downstairs to get one. Many times I've been forced to call off getting laid because of this. If I was a less intelligent man, I may have been tempted with the decision to have sex without a condom, defeating the intended purpose of the safe sex kit.
My question is, what do you all think about this? Is it fair? If not, what should I do about it?
I'm not expecting them to carry the full of line of TheyFit condoms, but since they offer so many choices that are pretty irrelevant, I feel the least they can do is accommodate me and other large guys and provide us with the same convenience and protection they do to most guys. Is that wrong to ask? Should I talk to the people at the health center about my concerns? I'm afraid if I go alone it'll look like I'm expecting them to buy me condoms personally, or that I'm just wanting to brag or something. I don't know how to find other guys with similar concerns so we can unite and bring it to their attention as a group. Any suggestions?
Note: I have noticed they also do not provide latex-free condoms, which seems to discriminate against those with latex allergies as well. Maybe we could just ask for more practical diversity? Ditch the red strawberry-flavored condoms and get us condoms that can do the job for everyone!
Note 2: I also don't know where they get the condoms from. Are they purchased by the Health Center? Donated by the brands? That could be relevant as well...
