When in doubt, bring the supplies. If you are planning to have sex with someone, it is important to take responsibility for your own sexual health by having supplies on hand. Condoms, female condoms, back-up contraception, lube, saran wrap, gloves; whatever you need to make sex safer for you is what you should have on hand. What if your partner, for example, buys supplies that you're allergic to or don't like? There's nothing quite as frustrating as deciding that you're ready to have sex and discovering that all the stores within driving distance are closed or out of your favorite condoms.
