- Hi babes! Truth, pulling out can be a very effective
form of birth control if it's done properly.
Also truth, the vast majority of people
do not do the pull-out method properly.
Humans, you know, we're just flawed creatures.
Well, with the exception of Beyonce and baby Leo.
For a couple that uses the pull-out method correctly
every single time, four in 100
become pregnant within a year.
That means with perfect execution of
the pull-put method, it's 96% effective.
That's a better success rate than pretty much
anything I've attempted in my life.
Even though it has the potential to be 96% effective,
it is actually in the real-world
only about 73% effective.
Slightly more than one in four couples
who use this method become pregnant.
That's a lot of oopsies.
You maybe ask yourself, "How the (bleep) does
"someone mess up the pull-out method?"
The first common mistake is not
properly handling the pre-cum.
So in preparation for ejaculation a fluid called
pre-ejaculate or pre-cum is released by the Cowper's glands.
Pre-cum does two things, it neutralizes the urethra
so the sperm can survive, and it also slicks things up
so that it's easy for the semen to go through.
For most people, their pre-cum does not contain any sperm.
That's right! Vast majority of people
do not have sperm in their pre-cum.
This isn't even a megaphone.
I don't know what I'm doing with my life.
What can happen though is the pre-cum can
pick up sperm that's already chillin' out in
the urethra from a previous ejaculation.
An easy solution to this that's not full proof
but definitely helps is to go pee before you have sex.
The second mistake however is
the real down fall.
This how people get pregnant.
A lot of folks, they're like, "Yeah, I got this,
"no big deal, I'll just pull it out."
but then the moment comes where you're
getting toward orgasm and it's like (mumbles).
And oopsie.
Accidents are very common.
Just like my magical multiple orgasms video,
you need practice, you need to be able to
understand your body, and you have to have a lot
of self control to be able to execute
the pull-out method properly.
Third mistake is still managing to get ejaculate
near the vagina, even though you pulled out.
So somewhere around the vulva, the outside part.
You can still get pregnant this way.
The sperm just like, they're on a mission
and they will find their way.
So, who is a good candidate for the pull-out method?
Monogamous couples who have been tested for STDs together.
Even though the pull-out method can help to
lower the odds of getting pregnant,
it does not protect you against
sexually transmitted infections.
Couples that know each others bodies well,
have experience with each other, and have
a good amount of self control.
If you and your partner decide that this
is a good method for you, be sure to
practice with a condom on a few times
to make sure you got the timing down right.
Couples that have been together for awhile
and trust each other.
Pulling out requires a lot of trust.
You are relinquishing your birth control to your partner.
If you don't quite feel comfortable with it,
a partner who loves and respects you
will gladly wear a condom so that you have
peace of mind and can enjoy yourself.
Not so good candidates for the pull-out method
would be folks who are a little bit
less experienced sexually.
You know, maybe they've only been active for a few years.
New couples, couples who haven't been tested together.
Also, anyone who uses, "Don't worry, I'll pull out."
as an excuse not to wear a condom.
So, if you find yourself thinking right now,
"Hey, this might actually be a good
"method for my partner and I." you can make it
more effective by combining it with condoms.
You can actually make the pull-out method more effective
by using it with any other method of birth control.
It'll make it that much stronger.
In the event that an accident does happen,
emergency contraception is a good backup.
Take it as soon as possible.
Okay, now you know the gospel truth about pulling out.
The short version is, don't rely on it unless
you know what you're doing.
If you're gonna have unprotected sex anyway,
it's better than nothing (chuckles).
Any further questions, you can send me a tweet
at gogreen18, I know I'm confusing
and sometimes leave things out.
So feel free to send me anything
that you think of there.
Have fun, stay safe, and I will see you next time, bye bye.
