Summary of the two links above is that when used perfectly, pull out method results in a 4% chance per year for pregnancy, and condoms result in a 2% chance per year for pregnancy. Real world usage (because people usually don’t do things correctly) is 22% per year chance with pull out, and 13% chance with condoms.
So if done correctly, pulling out is 2% more likely than condoms, and if not done correctly it’s 9% more likely than condoms.
Yeah, but if you double a very small percentage, it’s still a very small percentage. That’s the part you don’t seem to grasp. So what if it’s “doubled” when the end result is still only 4%.
It’s not actually too much less reliable than condoms. Both of which usually fail due to improperly being used.
*Edit: I added links as proof further down the comment chain here, since y’all are better at downvoting than researching.
if you don’t realize why this is an absurd statement to make, i suggest you read it out to yourself a couple times
Nope. Didn’t work.
Also, it’s a legitimate fact based on plenty of data by reputable sources and governments.
Perhaps you can link to some of those reputable sources and governments then?

You’re saying DOUBLING the chances is negligible
I’m not sure if you’re bad at math or just mad you’re wrong.
2% is half of 4%
