Anybody remember the old movie, The Summer of 42, where the kid goes in to buy condoms?

Some pharmacies locking up their condoms

If you wanted to buy condoms 30 years ago, you had to bear the embarrassment of asking a pharmacist to fetch them from beneath the counter.

Now with thieves wiping out the entire stock of prophylactics in some stores, more retailers are putting them back out of reach – and, in some cases, are even locking them up.

Many convenience stores in Milwaukee have again placed condoms behind the counter to keep shoplifters from pocketing them, and some major pharmacy chains have placed them in locked glass cases along with other frequently stolen goods such as costly replacement razor blades.

This is what comes from a sexually repressed society. Sex is all around us in advertising, etc, but on a personal level, too many people feel ashamed, embarrassed and so on by what should come naturally.
