Welcome to the SI101 Board and its Forums. I hope you enjoy participating. Please begin by familiarizing yourself with the FAQs, the Posting Guidelines section, and especially the Index, all found at the top of the main screen. The Index contains links to helpful informative insightful, as well as how-to articles that discuss the most common questions and concerns people ask about. In addition, if you click on the site's Home page you will find even more information. There are two search engines that are at a user's beck and call.
Your concern has been asked and answered many times, I suggest you go back thru recent posts from Brandye and myself or do a search on the topic. There is also an article in the Index that gives failure rates for all types of birth control methods.
Please consider that you have been playing a version of Russian Roulette. Think of the penis as a fully loaded cannon and anytime it is pointed in the general direction of a vagina, a pregnancy can result.
You cannot rely upon a partner pulling out. Why, because guys are "wired" to have an orgasm and while it may be a lofty and well intended goal, pulling out is unreliable at best. In the critical second or two before losing control, a guy can simply say "what the heck" only to "wake up" later and say "oh, my God, what did I just do".
Precum, the fluid that appears on the tip of the penis long before an ejaculation often contains sperm! When it does, pulling out or not is a moot point!
Much has been written about cycles and when a person is most prone to become pregnant. When a girl is young, cycles tend to be irregular and erratic. Some people have become pregnant during their period, so, you cannot make any sure-fire guarantees to yourself or a partner--except, having unprotected intercourse is a great way to have an unexpected unplanned pregnancy!
If you do not want the future course of your life forever changed, use some form of highly reliable form of contraception. If your partner does not want to become an unwed father, have the future course of his life forever changed, and if neither of you can afford to raise a child, each of you then needs to look out for and protect A#1--you. DO NOT rely upon your partner for your protection. DO NOT think you can out wit Mother Nature.
Please tell us your logic and your boyfriends reasons for not using protection. Inquisitive minds want to know.
I hope this is of help. Got questions?
