Dose anyone know what the odds are of getting pregant by the put out method? Cuz he didn't cum in me but i didn't know what the odds are of getting pregant by per-cum or whatever it's called. ~Thanks
Two issues need to be considered: sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy. Let's take STIs first — the answer is NO! A condom will help prevent the spread of most STIs, provided you wear it the entire time you are having sex. Putting a condom on at some point after you've already been inside, but before you reach orgasm, is not an effective disease-prevention method. Most disease-causing microorganisms do not depend on ejaculation for transmission.
STIs may not be an issue if both of you were virgins before this relationship, or if both of you were tested for STIs before you started having sex with each other. If you don't fall under either of these categories, you can be screened for STIs. Columbia students can do this at Health Services at Columbia (x4-2284). A primary health care provider or an STI clinic are two other options for testing.
If you are concerned about pregnancy, pulling out (a.k.a., withdrawal) is not the most reliable or forgiving form of contraception. Re-inserting your penis after you've ejaculated (outside the vagina) is not safe either. Within the first few hours after ejaculation, there is usually some sperm left in the urethra. The amount left behind is nowhere near the amount of sperm in the typical ejaculate, but it still presents a risk.
Spermicides, used alone, have the highest failure rates of all methods of birth control — even higher than withdrawal! If pregnancy prevention is important to you, spermicide alone is not the best contraceptive for you. However, you could use a spermicide in addition to withdrawal. The spermicide would offer a "back-up" in the event that you do not pull out in time. Spermicides come in many forms — foams, creams, jellies, suppositories, and vaginal contraceptive films. Some spermicides are made specifically for use with diaphragms, cervical caps, and IUDs, while other spermicides have been adapted for use alone. Most drug stores and pharmacies sell a variety of spermicides — you and your boyfriend may want to experiment with a few to find one that works best. Of course, as with any contraceptive, make sure you read the directions carefully, especially since spermicides have a time frame within which they are effective.
As a primary means of contraception, withdrawal has several disadvantages. First, there's the pre-ejaculate fluid (pre-cum) on which withdrawal will have no effect since it's released well before you ejaculate. This fluid may contain sperm and, thus, it does present a risk of pregnancy. Next, and perhaps more important, is the issue of consistency and self-control. Can you be perfectly consistent at withdrawing each time you have sex? If not, then what's done is done. Of course, you do have the option of emergency contraception (the Emergency Contraception Hotline is 1.888.NOT.2.LATE).
However, on the positive side, withdrawal does have its advantages. It's free, always available, and free of side effects. Second, no side effects are associated with this form of contraception. Estimated failure rate for typical use (meaning you're not totally consistent) is around 20 percent. When practiced perfectly, some researchers estimate the failure rate to be around 5 percent. This means 5 to 20 women out of every 100 who use withdrawal as their contraceptive method get pregnant. [ xlostangelx's advice column | Ask xlostangelx A Question ]

Withdrawal may be the most common method of birth control since it�s free and always an option for preventing contact between egg and sperm, reducing the possibility of an unintended pregnancy. While withdrawal has been criticized as a non-method, it is 73-96% effective for birth control, depending on the male partner�s self-knowledge and self-control. While 85% of heterosexual partners who use chance are likely to become pregnant in a year, only19% of partners who use withdrawal are. Withdrawal does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS.
So, ODDS
1pregnancy in 20sex at best.
1pregnancy in 3 sex at worst (most likely).
Heartwhisper answered Monday January 30 2006, 2:56 pm: Personally, I got pregnant while on the pill.... I was pregnant when I graduated from highschool and spent the next 25 years of my life having kids and raising them. I'm not 61 and finally having a life that is my own..... personally I wouldn't take chances like you're talking about ever!
Getting pregnant when very young and not when you really want to.... is serious serious serious and it changes the course of one's life forever!!!!!!!!!!!
Even with protection there is NO guarantee, because I got pregnant another time and we used protection every time!!!!
Think before you leap, because where you land may not be where you really wish to be at all!!!
Little_silent_voices answered Monday January 30 2006, 12:05 pm: you willl get pregnant if you keep doing that. You could even be pregnant right now. The reason is that there is always some cum at the tip of the penis and right when he even touches your vagina the sperm could go in you and find an egg.
Nallie answered Monday January 30 2006, 12:08 am: The fluid that is discharged prior to ejaculation contains millions of sperm (there are millions in only one drop). It only takes one sperm to fertilize an egg. Given this knowledge, and to relieve your worries if you don't want a baby..use real birth control. Worrying about pregnancy is enough to ruin the moment, and an unwanted pregnancy can ruin your life. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]

You are doing something that sooner or later is going to bring consequences. I mean, think about it...The sperm is already running like crazy inside of you even before he pulls out. SO, stop playing with fire if you don't want to get burnt. [ Skylover's advice column | Ask Skylover A Question ]
