hm..
Alright so, my boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and we've started having sex. We usually use condoms, but I was wondering.. how effective is the "pull-out method" i know a lot of people think it should be shunned but, i know a lot of people who have done it a lot and have had nothing happen. What do you guys think?

it's not as effective as condoms. but i've done it & didn't get pregnant, but that doesn't mean that you can keep on doing it & not get pregnant.

Some people are more prone to getting pregnant than others because of fertility. Some guys have a higher sperm count, making them more likely to get a girl pregnant. The pull-out method is effective but not very reliable. If you can't handle the risk/chance of pregnancy, then don't use this method. You can get pregnant from pre-ejaculation which is completely natural and can't be stopped. And no matter what a guy tells you, some just won't pull out because they don't have that kind of self-control.

Use condoms.
My mother got pregnant at age 16 because she used the pull out method and no condom.
Guys have pre-cum before they actually ejaculate. and pre-cum can still get you pregnant.

Seriously, keep using the condoms.
I know you're thinking the "pull-out method" works, but believe me, your friends are just really really lucky, and it's a chance you shouldn't take.
Nobody ever can really predict whenever they're going to ejaculate, so even if he does pull out sometime before he does, there's still some sperm that can get inside you, and then get you pregnant.
Please just stick with condoms. Don't take a chance, because if you do, there's a chance you're going to have a baby bump then in a couple of months.
I hope I helped.

Please keep using condoms. I've had so many friends get pregnant that way. They try it for a little while, and nothing happens, then they get pregnant. If you're not ready to have a baby and go through all the heart aches then keep using protection. Try using birth control pills if you want to have sex without a condom. Please don't "usually" use condoms. Have you thought about what you would do if something happened and you DID get pregnant? And if you decided not to keep the baby... there is just so much to think about and it's really not worth it unless you're ready for a child. I hope this helps. <3 Dana

I hate to tell you, but it doesn't work, even if a little sperm come out you can still get pregnant, so stay safe. Hope for the best!

The pull out method or withdrawal method is NOT an effective form of birth control at all. Even before a male ejaculates there is a good deal of sperm released in his pre-cum. Those you know who have used this method without a problem are rather lucky, because the failure rate is about 30% (compare that to 2% for condoms and 1% or less for the pill).
Besides that, to even use the pull out method properly a guy needs to be able to know when he will ejaculate and withdraw beforehand. Many younger guys don’t have the discipline or control to manage this.
Keep using condoms dear. Don’t take a gamble where birth control is concerned.

The only way for you to get pregnant is if he ejaculates inside you. The pull-out method can be effective, but it's tough to stop what you've started. You may find that "in the moment" you can't find the strength to stop everything, and your boyfriend may ejaculate.
Keep using condoms. There's no reason why you shouldn't.
