Actor Ben Affleck''s embarrassing first experience of buying condoms at the age of 18 has been explained in a new sex book.
The actor/director contributed a story to a 1990 teen sex guide called ''Risky Times: How to be AIDS Smart and Stay Healthy'' written by Jeanne Blake, his friend Matt Damon''s former step-mother, reports the Daily Express.
The book, which is now out of print, resurfaced during Damon''s recent appearance on Jay Leno''s U.S. talk show, with the actor telling the host, "Yes, that''s Ben. And all the sex he wasn''t getting... There''s some good dirt on Ben in there, I''m sure."
Affleck''s story about buying condoms from a pharmacy has now surfaced online along with a picture of the actor as a teenager.
The star, who was 18 years old at the time of the encounter, recalled, "I was so scared. I wondered: ''Are they going to call my mom?'' I went into the store, walked up to the shelf and grabbed the box. I didn''t stand there looking too long. There were two registers. A man was at one, a woman at another. Of course, the woman''s register came up first. I felt so self-conscious and idiotic, but it was all over in a second. I put them down and she looked at me with this stoic face and rang them up and put them in a bag, and I ran out of that store really fast!"
