Withdrawal
Average Failure Rate: 27%
Withdrawal, also known as coitus interruptus or "the pull-out method," has long been used for contraception as a natural response to the discovery that ejaculation into the vagina causes pregnancy. It requires no devices, involves no chemicals, and is available in any situation at no cost. Withdrawal is accomplished when, during intercourse, the man pulls out his penis just before ejaculation. This requires much discipline. As orgasm is impending, a man may not withdraw in enough time to prevent semen from escaping into the vagina. Although withdrawal has no known side effects, interruption of the sexual response cycle can greatly diminish the pleasure of a couple. Some couples, however, have worked out these problems and use withdrawal successfully.
Withdrawal is most popular among teens, the age group for which this method is also least effective. Thirteen percent of high school students reported using withdrawal as their method of birth control during their last intercourse. Withdrawal requires self-control and practice, which teens are generally lacking, resulting in an increased failure rate of 31% per year for this group. Withdrawal does not offer complete protection from STDs. Lubricating fluids escape long before ejaculation; usually they contain no sperm but can transmit diseases like the AIDS virus.
To use withdrawal properly, a man should urinate before sex and wipe of the tip of his penis to remove any lingering sperm from a prior ejaculation. If the man is uncircumcised, a complete wash of the penis is a good idea. When he feels he is about to ejaculate, he should remove his penis from his partner's vagina. The man should make sure that ejaculation occurs away from his partner's vagina. Many consider withdrawal a poor method of birth control. This method is especially poor if the man cannot predict when he will ejaculate, or if he will want to have sex again within a short period of time, in which case sperm will probably be present in the pre-ejaculate.

It is not reliable because before the main event, the man excretes small amounts of stuff which is every bit as dangerous as the real thing. All it takes is one sperm to make it to the egg and you're pregnant. The pill is a problem because of blood clots, but they are having great successes with making condoms that are more comfortable and pleasurable now, for both parties. Just shop around. Try different kinds.

It isn't effective at all just 1 drop of pre-*** could fertilize you.
best birth control
1 abstinence
2 pill and condom
3 pill (you know you took it)
4 condom
5..
6..
97..
98..
99 withdrawal (better than nothing i guess)
also this might not necessarily be the "best " but i was trying to prove a point.

All I can tell you is that I was with my ex for ten years and that's what we did most of the time, and I didn't get pregnant. I know I am very fertile, as I got pregnant on the first try when I meant to. You have to know that this is a person you can trust though - someone you know isn't going to cheat and give you an STD.

It has a 19% failure rate according to this website: http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/aha/aha_withdraw_crs.htm
My husband and i have been using this method since i had our son almost 6 years ago and i haven't gotten pregnant from him pulling out.
However the very first time we did have sex and he didn't pull out i got pregnant and that was when i was on my period. We had sex on the 3rd day of my period back in 2005 but i miscarried at 5 weeks but i have NOT gotten pregnant by using the WITHDRAWAL METHOD.
It is somewheres between 81-85% effective

unless you want to have a kid use the pill or a condom. guys dont have to ejaculate to impregnate a girl, there is pre-ejaculation whch can cause pregnancy.
