is pulling out a good form of protection???

Question

I need advice, me and my boyfriend don't use any protection but he pulls out before he ... ya know... so are we in the clear?? I always get worried and I know so many people use a condom or the pill or something so I feel like it's really bad that we don't

Answer

Ask my surprise two month old son #whoops

Answer

We used the pull out method for 13 months then bam I was pregnant with my daughter

Answer

The pull out method has a range of 4-18% failure rate (different websites have different information). This is a lot less safe than condoms (1%) or the pill (2-5%). This 4-18% failure rate means that 1/25 to almost 4/25 times having sex will result in pregnancy. To me that's extremely risky since most people have sex  more than 25 times in one year (or one month for some people haha).

If you always stress about whether or not you are pregnant, I would change birth control because stress can cause late periods (and extra stress is no good!).

Answer

No its not a form of birth control or a method of protection

Answer

It’s not the best form since men also pre-ejaculate and that’s a problem; since you could get pregnant by pre-ejaculation as well. Hope this helps answer your question 😊

Answer

Definitely not, what if he misses?

Answer

I wouldn't risk it
