Likelihood of accidentally getting pregnant from this?

Yes, I said they have to actually withdraw , obviously. That’s like saying condoms only work if you actually wear one every time.

you don’t need to track your cycle.

Precum doesn’t have sperm in it-
it is possible that sperm could leak into it, but unlikely, and highly unlikely enough to get someone pregnant.

Ahahahahahaha

Lemme quote the planned parenthood website:

So in real life, about 22 out of 100 people who use withdrawal get pregnant every year — that’s about 1 in 5.

An almost 50% of pregnancy over 2 years of pulling out - is that what you call highly effective?

Hilarious!

I mean it’s true 💁🏼‍♀️ But you are welcome to believe what you like

You've made 24. 2 appeared unrelated to pregancy.

Right?

It’s so irresponsible to give advice like this.

There is actual contraception available, which is much more reliable than the withdrawal method.

The withdrawal method relies on:

• tracking your cycle carefully so as to avoid sex around ovulation.

• the man withdrawing in time, every time.

• no pre-cum ever being present (and who checks for that?).

Combine all of the above with the fact that withdrawing every single time, without fail, makes for pretty shit sex - and the risk of pregnancy lies entirely with the women - it’s essentially the worst way to both have sex AND prevent pregnancy.

It would sadly seem a lot of people on here need basic biology lessons.

@Tandora
It [pulling out] really is very reliable if done properly (ie men actually pull out). Of course no method of contraception is 100%, but you are highly unlikely to get pregnant using this method.

You've just proven that you know absolutely nothing about contraception and getting pregnant. Good lord. I can't believe you actually typed that out, let alone believe it.

What….?

You are the one suggesting the OP wants a child, not me….? From your post:

”but I also think it’s shitty behaviour to place the entire contraceptive burden on someone else , especially if you suspect that they might actually want a child!”

Regardless of weather the OP is being irresponsible now, I don't think it's fair bringing up threads the OP made almost 12+ months ago.

The only person making massive assumptions is you!! I have no idea why you think the OP wants a baby she said she doesn’t , or why you think her partner is a victim- we have absolutely no insight into his feelings whatsoever.

i wasn’t talking about the OP, I was explaining why I think men should take responsibility for themselves instead of blaming women for unwanted pregnancies (in general).

It really is very reliable if done properly (ie men actually pull out). Of course no method of contraception is 100%, but you are highly unlikely to get pregnant using this method.

I counted 22 which were specifically pregnancy related. Yes, i'm petty like that...

Why are you lying @hereforthefood ? You know it's easily verified, don't you? It's pathetic.

So how many threads have you started, then?

For someone who’s ‘convinced’ they can’t be pregnant, you sure seem worried you’re pregnant.

& yet you have enough time on your hands to have over time started a total of 24 different threads all along very similar lines.

So does pregnancy.

Can you speak to a pharmacist?

"You must be fun at parties"

Grow up, you knew you had no contraception cover so you should have used condoms or avoided intercourse until you got back on your pill.

I would like to add and emphasise that pulling out is not a reliable form of contraception.

but I also think it’s shitty behaviour to place the entire contraceptive burden on someone else…

It’s a massive assumption on your part that he’s done that. We can equally assume they discussed it, she said she had it covered, and he trusted her.

…especially if you suspect that they might actually want a child!

Again, another huge assumption on your part.

Why would he suspect that? Clearly - if he does suspect that - he doesn’t have a leg to stand on and deserves all he gets. Quite obviously.

But we don’t know whether either of these big assumptions are true.

At the moment, all the pointers are that she’s being cavalier, and he’s blithely assuming the status quo is in place, i.e. that contraception is being used.

Again, this is very much an argument for men being 100% responsible, 100% of the time, for their own contraception, because God knows what’s going on in their partner’s head.

I wouldn't if I was a man, just going by what I have seen and heard from friends and acquaintances.

I think this conversation is an unfortunate derailment if OPs thread. I don’t think OP is being duplicitous at all , and I’m still shocked and horrified that people are accusing her of that, just because she dared to say it wouldn’t be the worst thing for her if she got pregnant.

But- although it’s irrelevant, if you want my view - we need to stop making women responsible for reproduction/ contraception, and blaming them for getting pregnant.

If a man wants to have sex then he accepts pregnancy is a possibility. If he wants to avoid pregnancy , he has options available
to him. Pulling out and condoms are both highly effective measures.

If a man chooses not to use these methods then that’s on him. I’m not saying that it’s ok to deliberately deceive/
lie to your partner- that’s shitty behaviour - but I also think it’s shitty behaviour to place the entire contraceptive burden on someone else , especially if you suspect that they might actually want a child! How unfair is that? I think that’s just as shitty tbh.
And as for forgetting the odd pill- that’s totally understandable human error and I don’t think any man has any right to be angry about that. Totally controlling and selfish.

And yes - I know contraception fails - of course. But we’re not talking about contraception failure. We’re talking about the absence of contraception - unilaterally decided.

But that’s exactly what you’re saying.

If a woman tells a man she’s on the pill and it turns out she’s not taking in a way to ensure its efficacy and gets pregnant, then the man has no-one to blame but himself? Even though he trusted her?

If the women doesn’t want to take every necessary precaution, then she needs to let her partner know so that he can either decide to coast along and take the same risk, or put measures of his own in place.

A women deciding for herself that a pregnancy wouldn’t be the end of the world for her, and so is willing to take risks without making her partner aware, is being duplicitous.

Believe me - I am a huge proponent of males taking responsibility for contraception, and you’ll see me on every vasectomy thread making my opinion of men who won’t get one very, very clear!

But if a couple have had a conversation about contraception, one half has trusted their partner to have it on hand, but they’re not, that’s not OK. We’re not talking about forgetting to take the rubbish out here, or leaving dirty socks lying around for someone else to pick up. We’re talking about something with a life-altering outcome.

In most relationships - when it’s something so high stakes - you would expect to be able to trust your partner. Not be the one to blame when they were remiss, and you should have assumed they would be, so it’s on you.

Whose relationship works like that…? None I know.

But quite honestly, off the back of this thread, clearly it is up to men not to trust - because, well, here you have it.
