  • Depends on your definition of effective. Statistically it’s 78% effective. So basically you have a better than 1 in 5 chance of failure. It depends a lot on the skill of your partner. Some guys are very vigilant about pulling out when they feel they’re about to cum and some not so much. They’ll stay in too long and partially cum inside you. I would have him wear a condom unless you wouldn’t mind getting pregnant.

    • Thanks for the math.

  • Everytime I have sex with my girlfriend I do the pull out method, it hasn't failed me yet, but just know that the pull out method effective rate is lower than other options. Make sure that your partners pull out game is God tier every single time.

  • Statistically from a study I saw, 1 in 5 couples using it over a year got pregnant.

    But the same study said condons had 1 in 20 so just to remind everyone to use two methods at once.

  • read your bible and ask God

  • I relied on it for 15 years with no problems. It is as effective as the guy is disciplined.

  • This method is not trustworthy. Even if he pulls out wisely still there are chances of sperms getting transferred through precum which is generated as a natural lubricant.
    Get tested!

  • If you're worried about getting pregnant, I don't recommend the pull out method. Use bc and/or condoms.

  • Yes, if the guy isn't an idiot and knows what he's doing, and no, if he is an idiot and doesn't know what he's doing. The method itself isn't the problem.

  • No it's not I can tell you first hand that it's not fool proof

  • It's risky but effective. I've never had any issues with the method myself. Because I know when I'll start cumming and when I should pull it out. Guys need to be aware of their climaxing routines to use it effectively.
