I know of several babies that were born by people who decided to try self-control.
Self-control fails more often. You can double-up on birth control (pills & condoms) and gain almost 100% prevention.

I'd have to say that birth control is more effective than self-control.
Self-control is 100% effective when it's used properly. However, since the desire to have sex (sex drive) is so intense, it tends to over-ride clear thinking and reason.
Birth control is rarely at the mercy of hormones. The only time it becomes less effective is thru mis-use (mis-application).

There is no guaranteed effective form of control, If we depend on our own efforts. But with God we can do all things.
Birth control in marriage. Self-control out of marriage.

Birth Control is only 99.9% effective because of accidents and misuse. Otherwise It would be 100%
Abstinence/Self-control has an even less percent chance than that because God can impregnate you with a savior anytime he wants. Just ask Mary!

With self control no birth control would be necessary....there would be no sex.

Self -control is better. Why? Because it is harder to do.
It is like it is easier to get into a fight, but it much harder to be patient, kind and forgiving.
And these are virtues God really likes and appreciates in a person.
The hardest thing really to do is to deny one's self from self indulgences.

Birth control if practice properly. Humans are human and our need for contact, love, and just sex is part of our humanity.

Birth control is much more reliable and realistic.

Abstinence is the only 100% effective method. But we are only human, we have a biological need to mate. So I would say the pill, 99.9%

Self control but unfortunately so many seem to feel they have none or do not need to exercise it.
