Is Withdrawal Method Effective In Lessening The Chances Of Pregnancy?
Question: Is the pull out or withdraw method effective?
Brief Answer:
No it's not!
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
actually it's the safest method to get a woman pregnant at some time, because if you rely on it, you're going to be mistaken in the future. Of course it lessens the chance to get her pregnant but it's not 100% effective.
The only really safe way to go is to use a condom or contraceptives (the woman that is). Regarding the contraceptives, they may fail too, but when they do it's 99.99% the woman's fault (she may forget to take the pills as instructed). If the woman takes the pills as instructed and has no other medical conditions or uses no other drugs then the failure rate is almost zero.
I hope I've helped!
Contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!

So it is possible to become pregnant by this method. I know the chances are low if you manage to pull out properly. But there is no room for error. Like the pill and condom. Is what your saying?
And even if you do it right there is still always a chance correct?

Brief Answer:
yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
There is still a chance because the pre-ejaculatory fluid contains some sperm. So although the chances are not that high, she could get pregnant.
The best choice for condom-free intercourse is contraceptive pills. She's got ro consult her doctor first though because some women should not take the pills for medical reasons.
Kind regards!
