Pull out method. Does it work?

[bud1975]

Hi,
My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 6 months. I started breaking out and when I saw my doctor he said I had a latex allergy. We have tried non latex and they are fine. We don't have std's so we decided to use the Pull Out Method for birth control. I have been looking at web sites and some say it is safe and some say it is not. I do produce a lot of pre-cum during sex. Planned parenthood site says that there is no sperm in pre-cum and another says there is sperm in pre-cum. Does anyone know the answer for sure? Have any couples been using this for a long time and have had success? I do not ejaculate in her, so I am worried more about pre-cum. I keep getting different answers. We both are 32 years old. I feel safe doing it this way. Is there anyone who has gotten preganent using this method?

Thanks,

Something such as 32 women get pregnant annually with this method. Look at all birth control methods.

This method is fine if you don't mind having a child together and married.

Hi,
I hear different numbers on this method. I would like to have a child, but not at the risk of my girlfriends health. She has three children and two were high risk and she had complacations with all three. So, for that reason I would not want to get her pregnant. Hopefully we will have some spare money so she can start on birth control, but some has given her problems in the past. Right now I am not sure if I will continue this method. The plastic condoms are terrible and lamb skin is better but 40.00 for 12 condoms is way too much and I can't afford them at this time.
I would like to hear any couples that use this method. Thanks for the reply.

Guess what, a baby cost a lot more the $40.00. If you aren’t going to be responsible about sex then don’t have it. Pulling out is not an effective form of birth control, period. So give me all the bad rep. you want, but if you can’t afford to have safe sex then don’t have sex.

P.S. you can get latex-free condoms for as little as $25 per dozen online.

pulling out isn't really birth control (since odds are there are some sperm hanging around in there at all times), but i'd at least add a spermicide to it. and that's a huge at least. i'm not really sure why she's willing to engage in sex without adequate protection if she's had such negative experiences with pregnancy. i wouldn't.

If I was her... I would probably just get fixed, LOL.

There has been much debate on the precum theory. I think for the most part... Ok say if you are going for round 2 after having ejaculated earlier in the day... then yes there is a high chance for sperm to still be "hanging around".... peeing I think flushes some out of the tract... but it only takes one!

Wah makes a good point about at least using some sort of spermicide... it's non hormonal and non latex.

And yes they'll be people who have practiced pulling out and the rhythm method for years w/ complete success.... but for me... it's too much to chance!
I was retarded and depending on this for about a year... until I got up the nerve to go to the DR and get on the pill.... due to this I rarely wanted to have sex and I was paranoid till each period... the stress was a killer! I was lucky...but dumb! lol

Hi,
Okay Mr. Saint, Where can you find lamb skin condoms for 20.00? Don't think it is possible.
I think I will use a condom until I can get a clear answer. Thanks for all the info on the subject. If we decide to not use a condom down the road I will keep the spermicide in mind. Hopefully she can find a birth control that does not cause her problems.
One reason why we did not use a condom the last couple times is because I suffer from Anorgasmia, so it takes me a long time and it is not from intercourse, I usually have to use my hand or her do it for me. On the planned parenthood web site it said that pre-cum has no sperm, so we went with that info.

I did not say lambskin condoms, I said non-latex condoms. They are not the best condoms out there but here is the link to cheap polyurethane condoms.

the pull out method does NOT work. i have a 10 month old little girl for proof and her diapers every month cost alot more than your condoms lol. so just be safe, buying those condoms will safe you more money than the future school supplies and clothes and food and everything else it takes to care for a child.

hahahahahaha...oh wait your serious...The pull out method is I think 40 percent effective...but thats if you leak no pre cum inside, and you pull out and it gets no where near the pudenda. (I believe thats the correct term for the outer parts lol)

Spermicide, Only like 60 percent...so your looking at 24 out of every 1000 times if you combine the two...and that number is way too high. Just use a condom because if she is going to do it for you anyways, what does it matter...so she finishes, you pull off the condom and she jerks you off...nobody gets prego and everyone is happy!
