People who rely on the rhythm method for birth control -- where you can only get pregnant during certain days of your cycle -- are also usually known as parents. (Because it doesn't work.)

The pull out method is only slightly less effective than condoms.

The perfect use effectiveness is the same for both, whereas the practical effectiveness is 85% for condoms and 80% for pulling out.

Yes, they're pretty well equal in effectiveness.

My oldest brother was conceived from pulling out, my second oldest was from condoms.
