Ironically, in the hands of an experienced practitioner, the pullout method is very effective at preventing pregnancy.
The problem comes when it’s a kid trying it for the first time having sex, or someone not in full control of their facilities towards the end of sex. Easy to get caught up and “forget” if you’re having a good time.
Yeah, that's me. I have extremely good ejaculation control and know myself very well at the end of sex. Like, I've been using it for like 20 years. And the two times I actually wanted to make children we became pregnant immediately, so we are both very fertile. So I know it's working well.
But as you say, you have to be experienced to trust it. It was more scary in the beginning.
