"Pulling Out" Rivals Condoms, Study Says

Minor Differences In Pregnancy Rates, Researchers Find, Between Contraceptive Methods

(CBS)  Ask most sexually active people today about the pullout method as an effective form of contraception and you're likely to induce eye-rolling and snickers.

But withdrawal before ejaculation during intercourse is more than just "better than nothing," a new study claims, noting that it is nearly as effective at preventing pregnancy as condoms.

The study, titled "Better than nothing or savvy risk reduction practice? The importance of withdrawal," appears in the June edition of the journal Contraception.

The authors find:

"If the male partner withdraws before ejaculation every time a couple has vaginal intercourse, about 4% of couples will become pregnant over the course of a year. However, more realistic estimates of typical use indicate that about 18% of couples will become pregnant in a year using withdrawal. These rates are only slightly less effective than male condoms, which have perfect- and typical-use failure rates of 2% and 17%, respectively."

""Pulling Out" Rivals Condoms, Study Says"

... unless, at that last second of passion, someone's judgment isn't the greatest.

Here's a great question for Republicans! Let's say science (I know science is something you don't believe in, but bear with me) could tell us whether a baby will become born gay or not (an idea becoming near reality actually). I know how much you guys are against abortion and gays. So...which would it be? Allow a gay to be born and sin all his/her life and therefor go your imaginary hell that you call Hell. OR...would you rather back an abortion in this case?! Now that's a heck of a question right there!! :) JD.

I currently call myself a Republican, because I do not like the socialist agenda of the Democrat party. Having a president who thinks Supreme Court justices should render decisions based on personal feelings rather than constitutional law scares me. Being a Republican for most of us has nothing to do with belonging to an intolerant religion or group.

I do not consider being gay something for which to pin a medal on anyone, but neither is being heterosexual. And I consider abortion in the first trimester or at any time the mother's life is threatened to be every woman's right.

Don't paint all Republicans with the same brush. We do not all believe every plank of the Republican platform, any more than all Democrats believe every idea proposed by the Democrats.

The dead beat parents and couch cow mothers are the best example I can think of for using condoms.All the women who say -- oh you have been blessed with a pregnacy. They may have good intentions . What about the child? Millions every year are blessed with depressed obese mothers and dead beat fathers some never seen again or at all.They grow up with inferiorority complexes and are belittled by thier peers and same age kids that are not taught at the home level to count thier blessing not flaunt them. They groeew into frustrated adults become depressed and either go on a shooting spree or hook up with another woman or man from the sdame type childhood homes and the process starts all over again. How many of you reading this has a deadbeat child or daughter slepping on your couch when thier sorry a=sses should be working at something anything. The dead beat parents should be forced by government to work for the people who feed them and clothe and insure thier children. If the TAXPAYING citizens of this country have been been doing this for ten years ? Then these dead beAT LICE OF AMERICAN S OWE THIS COUNTRY TEN YEARS LABOR OR UNTIL THEY FALL OVER DEAD WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. These labor programs would sell a lot of condoms.

I don't think I've ever read so many ignorant comments and there sure are a lot of people out there who don't know much about reproduction.

How much did we spend on this little study? Sheesh!

Come on, get serious people. Everybody knows babies don't happen by sex, only God chooses that! A friend of mine was blessed with a baby recently. I told her "you are so lucky God blessed you by giving you a pregnancy"...and her reply was "Either that...or I got pregnant due to Bob (her husband) blowing a nut in me!". How absurd of her! If God didn't say so, it wouldn't have happened! :)

"Too bad Obama's dad didn't "pull out" back in Kenya in 1960."

Yeah, but what about your dad, budmag06?

I was going to ask the same thing.

Many Blacks and Mexican men are using this technique on White women. The White woman gets knocked up, and the Black or Mexican man flee from parenthood anf financial obligations. Now, she is working two jobs to support a mestizo/mulatto half breed baby that will outnumber all Whites by 2025 CE.

Good bye USA, hello obese half breed USA with jerry curls!

What a sad little person. You pointed out some key issues in your post. Yes, black/hispanic men have been taking white women, but what you won't admit is that we are not forcing white women to do anything against their will. What does that say about white men? Don't hate on us, get yourself together because I know more white dudes that have run out on their women more than any other race. Being a deadbeat dad has nothing to do with race, it has to do with home training and lack of responsibility.

Personally im impressed you were able to read and understand the article. Im guessing your poor and have little higher education. Im also willing to bet youve never traveled abroad nor have been exposed to other cultures and other communities. Before you pay this years dues to the KKK do yourself a favor and open your mind to other cultures. Turn in extra aluminum cans this year and get out of your little racist clique with thier little minds and expand your world view.

Sometimes I like to read the comments in a story but this time, it was like reading notes being passed in high school. Whatever...

Anyway, it is rather irresponsible for CBS to carry an article stating that pulling out statistically can work the same as wearing a con.dom. At the very least, the article should mention the fact that pulling out does not carry any protection against sex.ually transmitted diseases. There are some people out there who need that information repeated to them and included in articles relating to such matter; teens for example! I can hear them now, "I read this article that you don't even need to wear a con.dom anymore! Pulling out works almost as well!". The article doesn't take into account (I doubt I can type the words pre-ejacu.lation but I'll try) that some men have small amounts released beforehand and this method is probably closer to the 17% range than 4%. Bad advice hidden in this story to say the least.

hehe, he said gobs

That's how I got pregnant at 19- pullout method. And we had only had sex that month a few times. If we would've used condoms, I would've never been pregnant at all.

Hope you have a chance to read it before they delete this one erasmus111

I guarantee you they will ban this account and delete my post once again. It's the way they operate. There are a few hateful employees at CBSnews.com (one of them goes by the screenname of "newster1"-you'll see him post his hateful remarks about Christians on here from time to time), and he is directly responsible for the lack of free speech for all on these forums, particularly towards those of the Christian faith.

They never used to delete all posts before, if you were banned. I can only judge by the posts that I have read of yours , on this story. I didn't see any reason for banning you. But I don't know what you may have said on other stories. : ) You should be able to say whatever, as long as you aren't preaching to people, or attacking people. They could take offense to that.

The main reasons that I have been banned are because I don't always stick to the topic. : ) I have conversations with people. That's a big no-no.

ya, perhaps.... Thought PE fluid also contained enough material to do the deed or carry the virus? the wifes to old to experiment with being splashed. any female test subjects available? lol wonder how much tax payers dollars this cost?

[toooldtovote]

What if you never get married? Does this mean you never get to have sex?

[pete_in_az]

is the journal of contraception published by the catholic church?

[erasmus111]

You're wrong. Myself and others have reported liberals for their endless personal attacks and offensive remarks gobs of times, and none of them have been banned and/or deleted.

Posted by CBS_bans_Conservatives at 6:51 PM : May 28, 2009

Have you ever checked back the next day to see if they are gone? I don't make a habit of reporting people, in fact it is rare for me to do so, but there was once where the posts didn't disappear until the next day. I think if they have a lot of people reporting abuse, they get backed up. Also it is a matter of opinion on what some people consider abuse, or a personal attack. What you considered abuse, someone else may not.
