Ok, so how many of you actually believe the pull-out method is birth control?

I don’t know anyone who refers to pull out as birth control. IMO it lowers chances when compared to fully being nutted in but still very possible to get pregnant

Only got pregnant twice (when planned) from using pull out method. It’s not contraception no, but my partner isn’t lying about when he cums and waiting for his snip op🤪

The answer to could I be pregnant is always yes if you’ve had sex, valid contraception or not - nothing works 100%

I’ve seen many people on here who believe it is birth control….. it absolutely is not. I’ve used this “method” but was fully aware that it is not effective and I would be a big dummy if I got pregnant and was mad about it lol

We use the pullout method and have done 4 years being together & then when we wanted to get pregnant we did both times first try’s. It works for us but maybe we’re just lucky

Nope, the pull out works! Your guy just needs to be good at it 🤪

I honestly have used this method but I don't use it constantly as a birth control method. I use to think it was crazy people just use that and no backup plan especially with multiple kids.. But I know you can track your ovulation too so that's supposed to be pretty accurate.

It did work for us perfectly for 10 years…

Sex ed is definitely failing ppl because ppl still don’t under that the only way to actually prevent pregnancy is abstinence. If u engage in sex even if it’s protected or using other preventative measures to not get pregnant like BC & condoms, there is still a chance of getting pregnant. So the only way to avoid pregnancy at all costs is to not have sex at all. I don’t get why Ppl get suprised when they get pregnant on BC so it’s not at all shocking to get pregnant when pulling out. 🗣️everytime ppl engage in sex, they are taking a chance on getting pregnant. It’s a risk.
That’s why having sex for pleasure is fun until it’s not 🫠 lol jus like the sex ed teachers used to say “it only takes one time”
lol also my Husband & I do the pull out method bt I’d never consider it as a “form of Birth Control” cuz it’s not
as some1 who went thru 2unplanned/unwanted pregnancies in her teens, I know for a fact that the only full proof birth control to prevent pregnancy is not have sex at all. 🙅🏾‍♀️

we've been using it for 11 years 🤷🏻‍♀️ never had an accident and both our pregnancies were planned where we actually tried

It's not technically birth control, no, but if you track your cycles very close (and have regular cycles) and know when you're ovulating then it can be sufficient enough. I personally don't trust that enough lol but I know quite a few people this has worked for.

I think people are missing the point here lol.

I wouldn’t class it as birth control but it worked for us for over 2 decades. Also just based on statistics. Withdrawal is roughly 78% effective and condoms are roughly 87% effective when you are accounting for real world use. With perfect use those numbers go up. To 98% (condom) and 96% (withdrawal) respectively

It’s definitely not birth control hence why I’ve never used it. I like my chances closer to the 100%, I don’t enjoy chance and until we actually wanted a child we always had protected sex.

I wouldn’t do it, I wouldn’t advise my daughter to do it. I had great sex education at my Catholic high school including about preejaculate. It’s just not happening in this house, birth control or abstinence 🤣

I mean in conjunction with cycle tracking it can be quite effective. Depending on your age you have about a 15% chance of conceiving 5 days of your cycle. So for me no the answer is not always "yes youre probably pregnant". And while yes pre ejaculate does contain sperm its at quite low rates. Just want to add that water based lubes and human spit kill sperm at a shockingly fast rate.

Would i advise my teenager to use it? No because teenage boys cant pull out of a garage let alone a vagina. But I would teach her about cycle tracking so she understands her body better from a young age.

TBH I'm always shocked people get pregnant by accident.

Honestly I know its reckless and I could've ended up pregnant but we used the pull out method successfully for 3 years with no other birth control. He still pulls out but im also on the Copper iud so I got a little smarter lol.

This comment section is abysmal.. it's not if it worked for you or not but rather if you believe its BC or not. Unless everyone commenting it works believes that it is BC? 😵‍💫 Sheesh

Some of you ladies are just doing too much here.

Here's a song for you

My husband and I use the pull out method as “birth control” but we are both fully aware I could get pregnant at any time. I think unless you are happy to end up pregnant it’s a huge no no.

Yeh the pull out method doesn’t work I now have a 2 month old 😂 she is loved massively, people do need more educating we didn’t use this as a contraception we didn’t mind getting pregnant
