Which birth control method do you use? (premarital sex only)

11 Comments

I've been having sex with my boyfriend for about 6 months and we use the pull-out method. Studies say it's almost as safe as using condoms if conducted properly (yes, we do) but I'm not sure now because our doctor said the otherwise. But we really hate using condoms. It doesn't feel as good for both of us.

He doesn't even pull-out actually, he doesn't even ejaculate from our sex. I usually give him hand-jobs after we have sex, then he ejaculates. I was just wondering, out of you people who have premarital sex, which birth control method do you practice?

And please comment too, I'm in need of tips or just some sharing if you use the pull-out method too! Or just some advise regarding birth control. Thanks for taking the time. :-)

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Pull-out method? You are lucky you're not pregnant yet. I mean pre-come can get you pregnant. Go on the pill or get an injection/implant.

    I had an IUD (copper) placed, in 2005 & I have left it in bcuz it's effective, convenient, as long as ur I a monogomous relationship. u better act fast bcuz these options could easily turn into, adoption, abortion, keep,it, instead

    Sure the pull out might be just as effective as condoms but what about std's? Condoms aren't just for preventing pregnancy. My boyfriend and I ditched condoms after about a year and I got on birth control pills. Sometimes he'll pull out...sometimes I don't let him. That's weird your bf doesn't ejaculate from sex.

    Pulling out and the rhythm method are more effective than nothing at all, but both only reduce your odds by about 80%. Think of it like this. Every one in five times you practice this method, you're effectively having unprotected sex with no contraception at all.

    I know condoms are a pain but they're the best method of contraception that doesn't come with health risks. You can try getting extra light ones, but it's probably a trade-off between feeling and protection. Even condoms are only 99% effective, by the way. I went out with a woman who would only have sex if I double-bagged. Not good.

      You see, it's true that precum doesn't have sperm but it's because of the leftovers from the previous ejaculation that causes precum to contain sperm. My boyfriend says urinating will wash out everything as long as its enough pee? Is this true? :/

      I'm sure you know how it feels like with and without a condom as a guy. My boyfriend says its a lot of difference.

      Thank you for the advice though, I'm looking into other birth control methods.

        Just so you know...which obviously you don't, precum isn't from a previous ejaculation. Urine kills any sperm left over when a guy pees. Precum is secreted when a guy gets horny (or just leaks) as a way to coat the urethra just before a guy cums. And it definitely contains some sperm.

        It's a statistics thing. A single ejaculation contains hundreds of millions of sperm, sometimes more than a billion. And it only takes one. Maybe urinating washes 90% of them away. It still leaves a hundred million, and it still only takes one. Maybe leaving it 24 hours kills 90% of what's left (10 million). But it still only takes one. It's true the risk is being lowered (and significantly), it's not true you are guaranteed to beat the odds.

        Wearing a condom does feel different as far as I remember (I can barely remember the last time I had sex without one). Although, personally, the worst part of it for me is putting one on. The ring of rubber that thankfully loosens as it gets further on is really tight at first. It hurts while it goes on. It's uncomfortably tight, like being throttled. Just an unpleasant feeling. But there's got to be a bit of give and take in a relationship and we have to do our bit too.

    We've used the withdrawal method for 8 years and I've never gotten pregnant. I know I can because I have to some-one else before. I just think with some people it's safe if you use it properly and at the right time of the month. If you know you're cycle well enough it is supposed to be as effective if not more so than condoms.
