Pulling out during sex: one of the oldest methods of preventing your tadpoles from reaching the wrong neighbourhoods when you have sex.
I was flabbergasted to hear that according to the CDC (Centre for Disease Control and Prevention), it’s the second most popular means of birth control in the last 6 years! But does it actually work?
Let’s take a look at the in’s and out’s chaps!
Is it risky?
Pulling out can bring your chances of getting your partner pregnant right down to as little as 4%…. if done correctly. But this is where lads often trip up – for many of us, getting swept up at the moment can mean bad timing, leading to raising a lady’s risk of getting pregnant to as much as 22%.
In short, your pulling success rate depends on how disciplined you are with your ejaculation.
However, this degree of self-control has the potential to take the passion out of the whole experience somewhat – no-one ever wanted carefully regimented sex!
What about where STIs are concerned?
Unfortunately, pulling will do nothing for you if you are hoping to avoid an STI, as they can be passed through skin-to-skin contact and bodily fluids like pre-cum and vaginal fluids, as well as open sores and cuts.
The moral of the story?
To be honest lads, my advice would be, pulling out just isn’t worth the risk, not to mention the fact that it’s just a bit of a pain.
Sex is all about losing yourself in the moment and if you’re worried about having to control your actions on the vinegar stroke, it’s either going to end in failure or take some of the fun out of the equation.
