According to wikipedia.com (and the other first 5 or so google results)...
Like many methods of birth control, reliable effectiveness is achieved only by correct and consistent use. Observed failure rates of withdrawal vary depending on the population being studied: studies have found actual failure rates of 15-28% per year.[2] In comparison the pill has an actual use failure rate of 2-8%,[3] while the diaphragm has an actual use failure rate of 10-39%.[4][2] The condom has an actual use failure rate of 10-18%.[2]
For couples that use withdrawal correctly at every act of intercourse, the failure rate is 4% per year. In comparison the pill has a perfect-use failure rate of 0.3%, while the diaphragm has a perfect use failure rate of 6%. The condom has a perfect-use failure rate of 2%.[5]
So pull out is only better than diaphragm's high end...

This is NOT true. If used properly, condoms are more than 95 percent effective. Not true with the so-called pullout method, which does not work.
This means you put the condom on BEFORE any penetration whatsoever and that you use a new condom with each act of intercourse. Also, that you grip the condom with pulling out to keep it from falling off. Also, you should have a backup method on hand if the condom should break (such as the Plan B Emergency contraceptive pills).
Also, if you get condoms with spermicidal lubricant, they are even more effective.

It's not the condom, it's the USER that "almost has the same failure rate as the pullout method". Dumb guys should have no sex.

That does not sound correct. I am really curious where you got this information.
If you use a condom correctly, the failure rate is significantly below 1%.
When not using a condom (even if you pull out), there is still the pre-ejaculate that contains sperm.
And what about STDs?

You are getting bad information from some where. Probably from a religious group preaching abstinence. I recommend you check your sources before posting this kind of information. It is very irresponsible. The pull out method also doesn't prevent STD's. Good luck with your method.

umm...well I dont believe that... me and my husband were having sex for 6 years using a condom...no problem... so, we figured that we would just start to use the pull out method because of how much better it felt without a condom on... GUESS WHAT...im 19 weeks pregnant....

It doesn't have the same failure rate protecting against STD's

according to useage, yeah. If used properly as designed then its more like 97% effective, instead of 86%.

Never heard that before and I have to disagree because it worked for me for many years.
