Pulling out (withdrawal method) is not a reliable form of birth control. Pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm, and pulling out does not prevent sexually transmitted infections. For better protection, consider using condoms or other contraceptive methods in consultation with a healthcare provider.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Is the pull-out method effective in preventing pregnancy? The pull-out method is not highly effective because pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm, leading to possible pregnancy even if withdrawal occurs before ejaculation.
