I'm surprised to see how many people aren't properly educated on pull out. No wonder so many people get pregnant using it. They think it's just pulling out. There is far more to pull out then that.

Pull out isn't the option you are going to want to use if you are trying to never get pregnant. However, if you are okay with the accident that could happen if you don't do it properly. It's a great method. Especially to those with allergies to condoms, on a strict budget that doesn't allow you to purchase condoms often enough, and for those who can't do hormones.

If you are going to practice pull out method be sure to properly educate yourself on it. There is a whole process to practicing it the RIGHT way! It's not all about pulling out.

Actually. We don't use condoms or birth control. He always pulls out. We have been doing this for over 3 years, and I have not gotten pregnant once.

Though over our honeymoon we do plan on getting condoms, I don't want him having to pull out then.

I know, Beck. I'm saying the same things. Some people either don't read before they post, or they simply need to cling to incorrect information.

Of course teen age boys are going to get girls pregnant with Withdrawal. They don't pee first (because they don't know to) they usually don't have enough experience to know feeling nor the timing of the "inevitability" feeling of orgasm, nor do they have control to withdraw before the orgasm starts. For people for whom a pregnancy would be a disaster, (especially if they REFUSE to listen to reason and fact) these people shouldn't be using Withdrawal.

What people aren't paying attention to is that, like most forms of Birth Control, there is a right way and a wrong way to use it. And using it properly makes a huge difference in pregnancy chances.

I honestly am beginning to think some people are ineducable, Beck.

It DOES work if used properly. You and I both know this. It works better if paired with knowledge of the woman's fertility cycle. THAT takes planning, forethought and... (dare I say it?) intelligence, or at least self education.

It's a workable form of birth control with a pregnancy prevention rate as high as the Pill, but only if used correctly. As you said, you don't just start to fuck, willy nilly, and pull out whenever it seems like a good time (because with inexperienced boys, that would be AFTER the orgasm starts) But, we know it can work, but is a method that one has to investigate, read about, and use properly.

Actually you are using birth control. Proper use of Withdrawal IS a form of Birth Control. Condoms are birth control, also.

The phrase "Birth Control" applies to anything that circumvents conception. It doesn't just mean "The Pill" by a long shot.

The Hubby and I used this method as our only method for 2 years before we got pregnant. I then proceeded to start BC so its unnnecessary now. Had we not been in a committed relationship and already getting married I would not have used this

I would never do this. Unless you want to get pregnant then use protection what fun is it to pull out when it gets to the good part?
