The "pull-out" birth control method can be as effective as the pill if executed properly. Perhaps it has been demeaned in popular culture because it grants the MAN reproductive control, unlike the female pill, while still allowing him full physical sensation, unlike a condom.

Wear condoms unless you are prepared to raise a child. A few minutes of pleasure is not worth 21 + years of baby momma drama. You have to assume at all times that the woman you are with is fertile and will keep the baby. Unless she is post-menopausal but i doubt that affects many people here.

Also, std's, etc.

It can be dangerous to suggest as a good method for teenagers, who are not yet in control of their bodies. For an adult man, who is confident in his ability to know when he's going to orgasm and has the self-control to stop in time, it can work well.

What. The. Fuck.

How fucking irresponsible can you be? Are you trying to get men hooked for unwanted children? Are you a fucking idiot? Do you really fucking think 18 years of indentured servitude is worth a few minutes of extra tingles? Are you seriously willing to bet your entire future on the guess that you will have the self control to pull out perfectly every single time? Are you seriously willing to put that dangerous idea into the heads of other MRAs who might believe you?

From the very article you linked:

For couples that use coitus interruptus correctly at every act of intercourse, the failure rate is 4% per year. In comparison the pill has a perfect-use failure rate of 0.3%, and the I.U.D. has a perfect-use failure rate of 0.6%. The condom has a perfect-use failure rate of 2%.

Compared to the other common reversible methods of contraception such as IUDs, hormonal contraceptives and male condoms, coitus interruptus is less effective at preventing pregnancy.[8] As a result, it is also less cost-effective than many more effective methods: although the method itself has no direct cost, users have a greater chance of incurring the risks and expenses of either pregnancy and child-birth or abortion. Only models that assume all couples practice perfect use of the method find cost savings associated with the choice of withdrawal as a birth control method.

The safest way a man can protect himself against unwanted pregnancies is to wear a condom AND pull out before he comes. It is dangerous and irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

EDIT: The very same article listed states that actual failure rates are 15–28%. The 4% statistic only comes from absolute precision when using the method. A single slip-up will cost you your future and tens of thousands of dollars. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN DANGER.

OP, you're a dingus. The pullout method is highly risky. No matter how in control you are, sometimes orgasms sneak up on you. And you can't control precum, which contains sperm. You're going to get somebody pregnant someday. Then a few years down the road, while you're paying child support to some chick that got custody by just having a vagina, you're going to remember that child custody and child support are two of the biggest things that MRAs fight to make more egalitarian and feel like an idiot.

Just saying. Wear a condom and don't stick your Dick in crazy.

Shit, truthman is gonna be pissed but I'm going to have to disagree with him on this one because of a close fucking call I had when I was a bit younger. The "pull-out" is NOT safe if you are sticking your dick in crazy and let me tell you the story that illustrates why.

In my early 20's, dating a girl and using pull out along with the cycle method. Yes, if you use those 2 together you have nothing to worry about. But, after a few months of having sex, I am on top and getting close. Her: "Cum inside me". Me: "No". Her: "Please" Me: No

As I get close and shifting to pull out, she wraps her legs around my lower back, pulls me close and TRAPS me in her. At the same time she grabs around me with both arm and pulls me closer. My only option to get away in those 5 seconds I had left was to punch her in the face (seriously). I did not do that and ended up nutting inside her.

Broke up with her and turns out she didn't get pregnant. But, this is a good lesson that illustrates that NO method is full proof.

The pull-out method isn't necessarily reliable though.

There's enough sperm in the pre-cum that she could get pregnant. So its not good if you're trying to get pregnant, but you can get pregnant. A condom, while maybe reducing the sensation, is in general safer.

The 'best' combination is to use a condom and to pull out.

Gareth321 · 2012-08-26T00:12:21+00:00

Bearing in mind apparently I'm a Godless "Lefty", but this seems like really poor advice. Compared with condom use, it's twice as likely to fail with perfect use. With normal use, it has a 15-28% failure rate, vs just 10-18% for condoms.

Advocating for men to become unintended fathers, and be forced to pay child support for 18 years? Yeah, that sounds like Truthman2000. Keep up the good work buddy.

can you expand on "..can be as effective as.." ?

conspiracy_thug · 2012-08-25T18:32:59+00:00

i banged my crazy bitch ex for three years without a condom and without birth control.

i came on that bitch face, belly, tits, ass, leg, everywhere but inside her.

never once had a pregnancy scare.

we broke up after she tried to force me to ejaculate inside her by holding me on her while i was inside her about to come. i ended up having to force myself off of her.

i was almost raped.

Condoms are detestable.

The "pull-out" birth control method can be as effective as the pill if executed properly. Perhaps it has been demeaned in popular culture because it grants the MAN reproductive control, unlike the female pill, while still allowing him full physical sensation, unlike a condom.
