It is not ignorant. You have been fortunate, but it isn't unusual. Pull out/rhythm method was how people prevented pregnancy before there were condoms and birth control pills.

It was not always reliable, hence the advent of actual birth control ;) no doctor would advise it, unless you didn't care if you became pregnant or not.

What exactly do you think the chances are of becoming pregnant by pre-cum? Do any of you know someone who's gotten pregnant from pre-cum?

I work in an abortion clinic, so I do see quite a few women,a lot of y young teens, who get pregnant on pre-cum. I think tens use it because they do not know you do not need parental consent for birth control etc..

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-cum”) 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

Apparently all of what I was copying and pasting didn't come out. It sounds like 92% isn't really all that effective to me.


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.



Here is more:

the withdrawal method of birth control, also known as coitus interruptus or “the pull-out method” has an average failure rate of 19% for adults. For teens, the failure rate is even higher (31%). When a man has an erection, pre-ejaculatory fluid seeps out from the penis before he reaches orgasm and it is possible for sperm to be present in this fluid.



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-cum”) also contains some sperm.

Wow, thank you. That is all the information we could ever need about how inneffective the pull-out method is!

Thank you for all of your helpful information, I sincerely appreciate the heads up! Thank you!
