[Part of Armin really wants to know what makes some of these condoms fancy compared to others, but perhaps he should wait to ask that. At least until Greg and Rose have sent him the box of condoms they promised. Perhaps it will all become clear when he has seen an actual condom.
(Greg may have explained it, but the actual appearance of a condom is still a bit vague in Armin's mind)
Besides, there is still that other thing he wants to ask.]
But how will I know we'll be ready for-- for all of this? I know a relationship is supposed to progress, but how do you know it is time for the next stage? H-how do you know if you are rushing something or being too slow?
Huh. Well. I think a lot of that is asking questions, so you know how your partner feels about things. If she wants to sleep with you and you want to sleep with her--or him, if you swing that way--and both of you feel good about the idea, then I think it's time. It doesn't matter if you met her a year ago or an hour ago. What matters is that it feels right for you.
Having sex for the first time-- it's a scary thing for anyone, Armin. But if you think about doing it and you feel more good about doing it than you feel nervous... that's probably a sign that you're ready. And it'll be the same with her too.

[After a moment he adds,] Depending on the store you might have to ask for someone to take 'em out of a locked case.
