How effective is pulling out?

[samjjones]

Obviously, the definition of "hooking up" has gotten fairly broad in the last couple of years.

[Dominic]

it's more effective than staying in. That's about it.

You should seriously consider getting a vasectomy.

I knew a girl in high school who had two kids using this method. That got the rest of us using something else.

Perhaps I should clarify, Yes I know what it is in the general sense, but I've heard differing reports as to the actual threat of it actually causing pregnancy. (From actually being almost completely semen without sperm to the 100% guarantee that some christian groups would have you believe.)

I know its been one of the stupidest risk I've ever taken, just trying to gauge how much of a threat its been.

I think this thread has identified who on 2+2 is A) not getting laid or B) is not happy with who they are getting laid with...the jealousy is palpable.

Don't hate, congrad-gulate. I bet that girl is fun, bro. Keep up the good work.

WTF? No. No one said anything about the girl or the fact dude's getting laid. He asked how stupid using the pull-out method is. We told him. It's pretty [censored] stupid.

Also from Wikipedia: Coitus Interruptus:

According to Emory University, withdrawal has a typical failure rate of 19%. However, for the couples that use this method correctly, the failure rate is 4% [1]. In comparison the pill has a first-year failure rate of 5%, which drops to about 0.1% if used correctly [2] while the diaphragm has a typical user failure rate of 20% and a perfect user failure rate of 6% [3].

So basically, if you're gonna do this, make sure you do it right.
