pull out method worries

Adding to this, it's actually 5-8 days sperm can stay active in a woman.

(So yeah ladies, if you've had semen in you and he hasn't had a vasectomy, his cells have been swimming in your body constantly, assuming you're having sex at least once a week)

Not a form of birth control.

 

Lol my fiancé is such a creepy sexpot. He actually says that he likes the fact his sperm is swimming in me all day.

 

healthy sperm can live up to 5 days in a vagina.. nuts...

 

I don't think pull out method is a good form of birth control. Science has done enough for you; take advantage of it

 

Me and the bf have done it once cause we're two very horny people lol and lacked a condom at the time. Guah it feels a lot better than with a condom that's for sure, but I still get really off either way.

I want to get on birth control so I'd feel safer about using no condom more often. I just graduated last year though and I don't want to ask my mom about birth control since she doesn't know I'm sexually active and she's like hardcore Christian so I don't see it ending well. I don't drive yet so I'm sort of trapped at home, I want to get birth control asap though.

Pull-out method isn't the safest really, I got really paranoid the one time so I'm going to avoid doing it unless I'm on birth control. There's the issue of precum that comes out before ejaculation that the male is unaware of so there's still a chance of getting pregnant. Get on the pillllll.

 

You can't control pre-cum. That is the most potent sperm and most likely to get a woman pregnant. IF you have been using this method for 15+ years and no baby, perhaps one or both of you are sterile. Unless you have been tested and proven to be sterile, you can't say with 100% certainty that this method works. Can't believe you were that lucky.

I've been pregnant 3 times, one on birth control and once while nursing. (Nursing is supposed to decrease the chance of pregnancy, but not 100% fool proof.) There are bc pills you can take while nursing, but the baby was allergic to it, so I had to stop taking it.

 

You need to accept the consequences of your actions. If you get pregnant, there's no guarantee he will stick around. Why doesn't he want you on the pill? If he gets a vasectomy, then he doesn't have to worry about getting you pregnant.

 

There is no reason not to use some form of BC. You are just asking for trouble if you don't.

 

If you are 18, your health care decisions is not your mother's business. If you can't afford it, go to a free clinic. At 18, you should be seeing a GYN, especially if you're sexually active.

curious topic
Obviously not the most effective method, but I thought this article was an interesting read. I'd like to see more like it for better verification, because they're right, it hasn't really been looked into enough, how effective it is. Although it does all come down to how safe you'd feel

It's still not as effective as condoms and certainly doesn't prevent STD transmission.

But would you really trust a young man to pull out? A young woman is playing a dangerous game trusting a young man to have self control. What happens if he doesn't? Who is going to be left with the baby? With an STD?

Personally, I don't like condoms, and I prefer my husband to be without (so does he). That being said, I was on BC (and still got pregnant). He had a vasectomy recently and I love it. I don't have to worry about being pregnant and so we actually have sex more often. It's freeing to not worry about pregnancies or STDs. (We're both clean.)

Women need to take responsibility for their bodies. After all, they have to live with the consequences.

 

Beatbird, I hope that your GF is not pregnant. If she is not pregnant GET SOME CONDOMS AND USE THEM EVERY TIME. (yes I am shouting, this is serious)
