Q: Pull Out and Pray?
asked by: official on November 11th, 2008

I am scared, I had sex with my new girl and we did not use condoms, no methods at all other than pull and pray. Anyways after reading about this method there are varying opinions on this, and I read that if you ejaculate, do not urinate, and go back into her and work your way to orgasm again, it's just the same as if you had ejaculated inside of her. Is this true? I get this funny sort of feeling. She was right after 2 weeks after her period too...what is the percentage of likelyhood that I'm going to be a parent? I guess I will know soon, if she has her period or not, but I'm a bit scared to find out really...

when did this happen?

What you read is true for the most part. Obviously there's more of a chance if you actually finished inside her, but the chances of pregnancy are still pretty high.

Ok well I was safe for this month, but it happened again and now we did it maybe 3 times and I got like one squirt in each time on accident, I don't think this method is the best. Is just one squirt bad? I really hope not Sad...How soon is too soon to take a test?

Why on earth would you have done this again-- 3 more times!

Pulling out is not a good method-- in fact, its not a method at all. You've been having unprotected sex. Period. Yes, one squirt is bad.

You can test 2 weeks after sex, so you may as well go by 2 weeks after the last time your had sex.

Get condoms and suggest birth control pills to your partner if you're not trying to have a baby. Why wouldn't you have purchased condoms after your first scare? They are cheap and you could have gone to a Planned Parenthood and got them for free if you needed to.

Well I didn't use them because it just doesn't feel the same. Can you still have your period if you are pregnant? I think it's done this time.

There are different types of condoms, I've been told ultra thin is like wearing nothing.

If you don't like condoms then you should be talking with your partner to make sure she is on a form of birth control. Be responsible!

Normally, if you get your period then you're not pregnant. Did she get her period?

She did this time, but we had sex the day after she stopped bleeding. So I think it should be safe this time, right? Or is it possible that she could still get pregnant?

I'm with Maddie. Why don't you both discuss and choose some form of birth control and stop this unnecessary drama? The pull out method doesn't even qualify as birth control in my book. So, unless you're in a hurry to be parents you two need to start acting like a couple that is responsible enough to have sex. Sorry to be so stern but one pregnancy scare obviously wasn't enough of a wake up call for you. I hope this posting is.

You 'should' be safe. I was tempted to tell you no and that she probably is pregnant just to make you squirm a little. Are you taking this seriously at all? I'm assuming that neither of you were virgins. Do you think the pullout method will protect you from AIDS, HIV, HPV, herpes... And those are just the incurable ones.
Enough lecturing. Please learn something from this experience and take better care of yourself.

There is always a possibility of pregnancy whenever you have sex, but lucky for you there is only a small chance in this case.

If you don't want a kid, then use protection (there's plenty of options out there besides condoms for you if you're able to talk it over with your partner). If you don't like protection and don't want a kid, then don't have sex.

Have you and your partner even discussed what you each would do if she became pregnant?

well keep the kid of course! We have talked about it a bit but really just don't know about birth control well we know about it but just haven't gotten any either way. We've had sex a total of 12 times or so I would say so that is already quite a few tiems. I think it should be ok though, Even with the pill though or shot there is always still a risk right?

Ok, let me put it this way.

As you are right now, with no birth control and assuming there are no big accidents, then there is about a 20- 30% chance of pregnancy maybe a little more. It's really not recommended for guys who can't control themselves. There are ways to reduce this to about 10-15%, but that’s still incredibly high and probably increases the more you have sex.

If you were to start using condoms or your partner started to use birth control pills for an entire year, your chances of pregnancy would be about .01-1% with typical use of condoms and birth control pills.

Do you need help learning about birth control ? What's stopping you from using it? -- I'm just curious, your attitude about possible children is... strange. How old are you?

I don't know, I just don't really want to use it. I am in my mid 20's, have a job, etc. so it's not exactly that I'm irresponsible or anything either. How is my attitude weird?

I hate to bust you bubble Official but even if you have a job and that you can still be irresponsible. It's not you that is going to be pregnant for 9 months it's your girlfriend and if she is not ready then guess what ? you and her not being responsibe. There are alot of guy out there that say they will stay with the girl if she got pregnant but alot walk out on the girl and leave her to deal with it and the girl needs to make a choise to keep it or put it up for adopting or abort it. So don't just act like you are ok enogh to take care of a pregnant girl. Go and get your girlfriend on birth control and use a condom. if a condom is not good for you then gess what birth control alone will.
