Why Pulling out Doesn't Work?

Disadvantages of the Pull-Out Method
Not only is it not very effective, withdrawal isn't a good method of birth control because: It takes a lot of control for the man to pull out before ejaculation. The woman has no control over it at all. You may feel that it gets in the way of sexual pleasure.

Why would pulling out not work?

Different things can make the pull out method ineffective. Pre-cum might contain sperm, which means that — even if you do successfully pull out every single time — there's still a chance of pregnancy. Plus, ejaculation timing isn't always easy to predict.

Can I get pregnant even if he pulls out?

Yes. You can get pregnant from the pull-out method. The pull-out method, also called withdrawal — or coitus interruptus if you wanna get fancy — involves pulling the penis out of the vagina before ejaculation.
