Between knowing your cycle and a guy knowing when to pull out, you can actually pull off having sex with no protection and have a relatively high chance of her not getting pregnant.
Both partners really have to know what they are doing though, that's why most people stick with condoms and actual birth control.
disregard that, I suck cocks.
In my head though you should think of doing both. As we know none of this stuff is 100%, so on that 1-2% times where pulling out doesn't work, then perhaps the other method with stop it.
I'm also semi-skeptical on that study because guys don't usually pull out when they pre-cum. While the statistic I'm sure is still low, I wouldn't say it's as effective as a condom.
Though I haven't looked up much so I admit I could be wrong, it just doesn't sound accurate to me.
Late but...
Ok let me explain to you how this works...
Can I give you my mailing address? (honestly)
I didn't trust the PP here because of my niece's experience with them, and it's just in a bad location that gets vandalized a lot. (I believe they also do abortions.) So I looked into a nearby Women's Health Clinic. Went in on one of their free exam days and also signed up for Access Women's Health Plan, which completely covered the costs of birth control for me.
My first choice was an IUD. Yes, the procedure was a bit.. painful. I did have my period during, which they prefered and said makes it easier, so it basically just felt like really bad cramps. I believe for an IUD to be inserted your uterus should be atleast 7(cm? she never mentioned a measurement.. just a number while doing it) but despite my only being 6, she put it in anyway. She said she's had no problems inserting them with "6". Couple days after I had to go back because it came out... She made me feel rather guilty about "throwing 400$ in the trash" but offered to try putting another one in.
My next up option was the Depo shot. Let's just say a 5 month(out of 6, two shots) long period, although I had little to no cramps which was nice compared to my normal ones, made me stop that. It also made me really tired the first week or so after the shot. On my third shot appointment, I stopped and switched to my next option.
So now I'm stuck on the pills as my last option. Really didn't want to end up on them. I guess I'm lucky to not get sick from them like my mom who couldn't take any birth control.
They also gave me some condoms with my pills, and offered a big bag of them after my IUD insertion. I turned them down, but what I really wanted to say was "No thanks, they're too small anyway." with a snicker and walk away.
That is something that seems to still be debated about, and not worth the risk to assume it doesn't imo.
and yet so many teens still get pregoIt's actually quite hard to get pregnant. All those after school specials where the girl gets pregnant with just ten seconds of first time sex were invented just to scare teenagers.
Don't get me wrong, you are right it is hard, but when its "easy" your body is usually horny, and horny teens is never a good combo.
All these people who had Plan B make them sick... I've used it twice and had zero side effects. o_oa
(Sadly, my gyno won't put me on the pill because of the family history of high blood pressure, as well as my own brush with it that I had a few years ago.This is despite my many attempts to convince him otherwise.)
