Genital Warts (condylomata acuminata) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Genital Warts affect the moist tissues of the genital area. Warts appear as bumps or growths.

i guess STD's are worth the slight uncomfortableness off condoms.
cos genital warts is a much better feeling!

The only way to be 100% safe, stick it in her ass

It worked for me for over 20 years.  I hate rubbers and I live in Japan where the pill is not popular.

pre-cum, pre-mature ejaculation. Neither are a problem with condoms.

In all seriousness, though, withdrawal alone is stupid. If you're both monogamous and don't want to bother with condoms, implants, or medications, that's fine, but pull out in conjunction with fertility charting.  Pull out on her less fertile days. When she's highly fertile? That's what saddlebacking's for!

My wife's on the pill, but I still love withdrawing. She's not as big a fan of it as I am. Then again, I've never accidentally hit myself in the eye.

I've come to notice that when speaking about sex all people seem to think about is pregnancy but they tend to forget that there can be worse outcomes from having sex unprotected. As we all know teens are not known for staying in long and fateful relations as well as adults. So if we all go dipping with out condoms I am sure this entire country will be filled with more diseases than it can handle. HIV/AIDS is not lost it still exist as well as other ailments. Grow up grab a condom and be safe with pleasure comes responsibility. I'm far from perfect and trust me we all face the consequences.

huh, guess I was right all along.

As if the only reason we are encouraging teens to use condoms is pregnancy? Proper condom use is not difficult to learn and it allows the woman to demand it rather than relying on the promise of a hyper-horny teenage boy that “don't worry, I'll pull out in time”. (yeah, right)

There is some truth to the numbers in the article. The planned parenthood website lists a similar effective rate for “typical” use of the withdrawl method. But when it comes to teens there are some methods that do not work as well. I bet the imature/anxious teen has a smaller chance of using the withdrawl method effectively. Teens are also more likely to forget to take a pill (decreased effectiveness of “The Pill”). I also wonder how many teens were included in their study.

@ yo, teach. Teen pregnancy! It never stops being funny!

Sure there may be a small differential but when that 2% produces a 100% unwanted baby it doesn't matter.

@Joy teenagers have less control over when they come, but on the flip side they won't get pregnant the first time, or doing it standing up, or if they pray really really hard, so it evens out.

I don't think people that don't like to wear condoms should have supposed statistic data to back them up…

Withdraw is not a method recommended for teenagers or people who are less experienced and therefore have less control over whether or not they come. But, yes, when used correctly, every time the rates are about 2% for condoms and 4% for withdrawal. An important thing to remember is that pregnancy is not the only thing people need to worry about when it comes to choosing the correct form of contraception. Withdraw does not protect people from STDs; condoms do. Additionally, there are many other forms of birth control that are more effective than condoms and withdraw at preventing pregnancy.  For more information on what's the right kind of birth control for, please visit your local planned parenthood or consult this site: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-topics/birth-control-4211.htm
