Do you think using a condom AND using the pull out method is a good enough method to reduce pregnancy risks.?

Answer 1

i was always told their is only one way to completely reduce the risk of pregnancy and that is to hold a aspirin in between your legs. its a joke but you get the idea. but i think you should go down to a women's clinic and learn about birth control and find out if its right for you. it will not only put your mind at ease as it is 99% effective against pregnancy if used correctly but it can also have other benefits to your health such as regulating that time of the month as well as clearing up your skin of acne. there are many types of birth control and contraceptives just talk to your doctor about what would be best for you. birth control is not right for everyone and many people can not take it for health risks. do your research before you start taking them though and learn of the side effects from your birth control as many can cause blood clots for smokers as well as increased risk of breast cancer in some people.

here is a website that might show you some other methods of reducing the risk of pregnancy

Answer 2

The "pull out method" does not work - at all. Semen does come out before ejaculation in order to assist with lubrucation.

The effectiveness of condoms is lower than other forms of birth controll, primarily because they are sometimes put on wrong. Some people do not realize you need to leave a little bit of space at the end to hold the semen. Breakage is rare but does happen, particularly if the condom is old (and been say in a pocket where it is exposed to body heat on a daily basis).

If you are using a condom that isn't old, and you don't put it on incorrectly, it is pretty effective. Pulling out will not improve your risk significantly enough to bother.

Answer 3

Well, using a condom and pulling out is better than nothing but it is not the safest route to go. Condoms can break, and sometimes pulling out isn't really that quick.

The best way to avoid a pregnancy risk is to wear a condom and to take a form of birth control.

Birth control is .99% way of not getting pregnant. Adding the condom is also a good way of preventing it.

If you do both of these your pretty much on the safe side.
If something happens, there is your backup, birth control.

This way, both of you are playing safe, and if one thing goes wrong, that back up will always be there.

PS - Condoms do help prevent SOME types of STD's from spreading around. This does not include HIV or AIDS

Answer 4

Yes, that's a pretty good method of birth control. The only sure method of birth control is to not have sex. There is some risk of pregnancy and STD's every time you have sex.

Answer 5

Nope. There are sperm in pre-come, and both methods are not good enough. Although they will reduce the risk somewhat.

The only 100% sure way of preventing pregnancy it to prevent sexual activity.

Answer 6

Pull out methos is not good enough if comparing condom. For me, I'm just used the pull out method; but I didnt get pregnant for the past 1 year. Just recent one month, I didnt do any prevention, and I got pregnant now.

Answer 7

Yeah it is, but if you use a condom the pull out method isnt really nessicary...I give you credit for *using* a condom, half of the people in the US dont use them and its the dumbest thing. If used correctly they are 97% effective.

Answer 8

Using both methods will lower the risk but you still need to be responsible enough to handle the consequenses since nothing is 100%

Answer 9

A condom is very effective....IF you can follow the directions. It's that simple. If you fail to follow the directions for condom use, then you should not be surprised with pregnancy. Condoms are not 100 percent effective, but with proper use they are very good.

Answer 10

It will definitely reduce the risk but won't eliminate the risk.
