New method of brith control

The "New" Birth Control: Pulling Out It's here -- the birth control you've been waiting for. No more pills. No more messy condoms. No more shots or rings or spermicides. So what is it? Well, the withdrawal method. Otherwise lovingly known as "pulling out." No, that's not a typo. Researchers at the Guttmacher Institute have released a study saying that not only is the withdrawal method effective at preventing pregnancy (most of the time -- and only if used correctly), but that women in their late 20s and early 30s are ditching condoms and opting for, ahem, the luck of the withdrawal. What do you think about this? I mean, sure, once you're married, STDs aren't as big of a concern, and pregnancy, even if unplanned, doesn't pose the same panic-inducing what-am-I-going-to-do feeling that it might have before your wedding. But it still could be a gamble. Would you trust "pulling out" for your birth control method?

Hey! That used to be my method! (TMI? Probably. Sorry). Ask my 5 year old if it worked.

ha ha! "Pull and Pray." I just think the method above is just sooo messy. I love the nuva ring also! So low maintenance.

I also hope they aren't serious. I can only imagine if the middle school and high school girls were told this was truth.

My nephew was born this way. My FI and I do it when we don't have a condom but I am also on the pill. That's just because I am super paranoid about getting preggo.
