Using the pull out method??

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

This is the least effective method, other than trying to count the days when you aren't ovulating. If you are in a position that prevents you from pulling out in time, or if the feeling is too good, then you may be in big trouble. You cannot rely on any one birth control alone. You always need a back up. If you are on the pill then you have to use a condomn. Unless you have your tubes burned and then tied then you may be alriight but even that is not 100%. Only withdrawal and masturbation is 100% effectuve, If you are using this method then you may be surprised in the end if you don't soon stop.

Answer 3

Doesn't work. I've known people that have gotten pregnant like this.

My comment is if you cannot afford to buy a condom or use pills or go get a shot, you cannot really afford a baby. Just a word of advice. Every day I see at least 10 people on this forum asking about "do you think I'm pregnant? I used the pullout method."

Use a condom

Answer 4

Is not a good method of birth control...at all. My husband is a product of the pull out method!

Answer 5

What are the chances of getting pregnant using the withdrawal (pull out) method?
Withdrawal (pull out) is not an effective method of birth control. Of women using the withdrawal method for one year, approximately 25% will get pregnant sometime during the course of that year. In fact, it is possible to get pregnant the very first time that you use withdrawal.

There are several reasons for this. A ¼ teaspoon of semen can contain 100 million sperm or more. That means that if any semen gets near your vagina, there is a significant possibility of pregnancy. So if your partner pulls out just a fraction of a second later than he intended, you could get pregnant. If he ejaculates anywhere near your vagina, you could get pregnant.

Even if your partner times everything perfectly, and ejaculates away from your vagina, you could still get pregnant. That’s because fluid released before ejaculation (“pre-***”) also contains some sperm.

Of course, withdrawal does nothing to prevent STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). You are still at risk for genital warts, herpes, gonorrhea and other infections.

It makes sense to think of withdrawal as, at best, a method of postponing pregnancy, not preventing pregnancy, since if you use withdrawal enough times, you are almost guaranteed to get pregnant.

Answer 6

What about it? It's not a very good method of birth control. You can still get pregnant if the guy pulls out.

Answer 7

the withdrawl method, here is the %:
Perfect Use: 4% of pregnancy
Typical Use: 15% - 28% of pregnancy
These are also a per yearly basis.

Mind you, the reason for these numbers is not due to the case of pre-ejaculate. In fact, they believe it is the lack of self-control. Poor timing with the withdrawl method leads to semen/sperm in the vagina, along with sperm ON the vulva. Mind you though, sperm cannot climb up one's leg to impregnate a woman.

"While no large conclusive studies have been done(only smaller case studies) , it is now believed the primary cause of method (correct-use) failure is the pre-ejaculate fluid picking up sperm from a previous ejaculation. For this reason, it is recommended that users of withdrawal have the male partner urinate between ejaculations, to clear the urethra of sperm, and wash any ejaculate from objects that might come near the woman's vulva (e.g. hands and his penis)."

Answer 8

This is not a form of birth control. You should also be trying to protect yourself from an STD. To be safe and not get pregnant:

Get on birth control
Use Condoms (every time you have sex)
Use the foam
Use any combination of these as well!!

Don't let him tell you that it won't feel as good either!! Better to be safe than sorry!!!!

Answer 9

Its not a method. a lot of women get pregnant using the pull out "method" it should not be considered a form of birth control.
