I know I can get them at the supermarket or drug store, but I am very embarrassed. What should I do?

There really should be no embarrassment in buying condoms. Find a place where you don't need to ask for them, and just pick out a box. A popular technique is to buy some other stuff so it's less obvious. You have to realize that the person at the cash register has seen people buy condoms, as well as other much more embarrassing things, many, many times and will probably not even notice what you're buying. It's easy to get the feeling you're the first person who ever bought condoms, but that's just not so.
The clerk almost certainly won't say anything, but if he did, I'd just say, "These are for sale, aren't they?" (I really doubt it would ever come to that, though.) I'm sure once you buy your first box, it will be no big deal. Good luck.
Do you find yourself masturbating more often during some seasons than others? Why?
