My boyfriend assures me that air is a natural spermacide and that there is a zero chance of me getting pregnant as long as he pulls out in time. I’m already a week or so late for my period… should I be worried? Is he wrong? Help!
the "pull out method" is the least effective birth control, its right up there with the no birth control. It takes quiet awhile for the air to kill off sperm. And yes there is a bunch of sperm that are found in the pre cum. I know you are probably tired of people preaching that abstinence is the key to not getting pregnant, but it is the truth. And contraception helps, there still is no guarantees. Even adding different types of birth control does have you 100% protected. My husbands first child was concieved when he used a condom and his partner was on birth control pills. And a very good friend of mine was born after her parents used a condom, birth control pills, spermacide, and a sponge. Life happens. Sperms can be very determined. Even if he came on your leg the could still manage to work their way up into your body and get you pregnant. I would not be too worried yet, but getting a pregnancy test would probably be a good idea. If you are pregnant don’t start stressing , there are a lot of options. And you will know which decision is right for you. You and your boyfriend should have a talk though, and both of you should educate yourselves on humanan sexuality and reproduction. Getting as much information as you can and having knowledge is important part of being sexually active. Knowing what you are doing and what the consequences of your actions are is the best thing you can do before you start to have sex again.
You should be worried.
He is wrong.
Air is not a spermicide… lol. And pulling out method is… not real….
WORRY! He lied. Wait a few more days and go get a pregnancy test.
he is so wrong. there is a thing called pre-ejaculate…. dont be super worried until you do a test, but do a test just to make sure.. because pulling out is not not nottt an effective way to prevent pregnancy.. go on the pill if you are going to continue this and prefer not to use condoms, but remember the pill isn’t 100% effective either.
He is WAY wrong. Air is not a spermacide. Not to mention men tend to "leak" sperm during sex, pre ejaculate and such. Get a pregnancy test… and a new boyfriend, this one sounds like a selfish loser. Also, if you want to remain sexually active, you need to educate yourself.
you should be worried because there is pre-cum and guys dont feel that when it is comeing out so most likely he let that in you and there is a possibility you might be pregnant. the percentage i think is like 25 that you could.
Jeez, he isn’t going to pull out in time; that’s the best part! I can’t believe that you fell for that line.
You’re probably knocked up little Mama.
My husband tried that same thing ( I didn’t believe him, but didn’t stop it either) and now we have 3 little boys instead of 2. : D
He is SO wrong, honey. He’s telling you this because he just doesn’t want to wear a condom (selfish, IMO).
Pulling out doesn’t protect you against STDs.
Pulling out doesn’t protect you against pregnancy.
19 percent of women whose partners use ‘pulling out’ as their only birth control method are pregnant within a year. This is lower than no attempt, but do you want to be one of those roughly 1 in five? My source for this stat is the patient info that comes with birth control pills. See also http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?id=3562
Please go and see your doctor, do a pregnancy test AND all of the STD tests your doctor recommends, no matter what your lovely boyfriend tells you.
Best wishes!
hahahahahahhahahaha ahahahha are u 15
Pulling-out is NOT an effective birth control method at all!!
I’m really not trying to make you worry, but you need to be informed!! Please read my whole response!
He is either lying to you to get in your pants or he just skipped 7th grade health class. Air does NOT kill sperm. Never has, never will. Not to mention that pulling out does not protect against ANY STDs whatsoever, not one. So get yourself tested!! If he lied about air being a spermicide, heaven knows what else he lied about.
Besides, when having sex, there’s always a little bit of c u m that comes out before the actual ejaculation (called "pre-c u m") and that CAN get you pregnant. What about those couple sperm that sneak out while he’s still inside you? The air can’t reach them if it supposedly kills them… Not to count, what if he DOESN’T pull out in time? (it happens). Remember, it only takes ONE sperm to survive the journey and get your pregnant. If you don’t want to get pregnant, always always always always use condoms and/or the Pill (preferably both).
Is your period normally regular? Does it always come at the same time so you know you’re actually later than usual? Or is your period still really irregular? (Sometimes 28 days, sometimes 35 days, sometimes 24 days, etc?). Your period usually doesn’t regulate until you are in you mid-twenties. If it’s pretty irregular, one week isn’t all that late and it might still come. Stressing out about it can make your period run much later than it normally would, which in turn will make you freak out more, and it just becomes a big cycle. I was once 55 days late and was FREAKING OUT and then it turned out that I wasn’t pregnant, I was just stressing out too much plus I was really irregular anyway.
When did you have sex last? You are most fertile two weeks before your next period is supposed to come. Assuming you are on a regular (28-day) schedule, here is an example of one month:
MTWTF
MTWTF (fertile week)
MTWTF
MTWTF (bleeding week)
Or if your period is irregular or just not 28-days. Some women’s periods run on even a 35- or 40-day cycle. In which case, an example of one month would be:
MTWTF
MTWTF
MTWTF
MTWTF (fertile week)
MTWTF
MTWTF (bleeding week)
If you’re that worried, I recommend you kick him in the butt and make him go buy you a pregnancy test. If he wasn’t responsible enough to go buy $6 worth of condoms than it’s only fair that he assume responsibility now and make him go buy you the best pregnancy test he can find (probably around $30). And then dump him!! You deserve a more intelligent, trustworthy guy. Sometimes you can’t depend on the guy to watch out for you, you need to take responsibility for yourself. Go buy your own condoms and keep them with you so that if he doesn’t have a condom, there’s no excuse for not wearing one. Whether he likes it or not, stick up for yourself.
Go online, read about STDs, pregnancy, etc and just keep yourself informed and educated. And if need be, talk to your parents. I know they’re not always the most understanding, but if by chance you are pregnant, they will most likely support you and care for you, get you any help you need, etc. They will still love you. And if you can’t talk to them, find a guidance counselor, teacher, nurse, older sibling, etc. Don’t go through this alone!
Good luck. And please be more careful next time, ok?
Email me if you need anything, I’m more than happy to help you through anything or answer any questions.
dude is wrong..and yes you should prob be starting to worry..cant believe you believed that crap
I have 2 nieces, several cousins, and a sister and brother, that are all proof that pulling out doesn’t work…
WOW… He’s so wrong. Even without penetration you may still become pregnant if so much as a drop gets near the opening of your vagina. The chances are slim but do you really want to take that risk ? Get informed.. The only 100% way to NOT get pregnant is by abstaining until you and your partner are physically and mentally ready to bring a child into the world. If you need to talk I’m just an email away. Best of luck.
He is VERY wrong. You know how many kids are born from the pull out method!
Tell your boyfriend this little fact. The male organ does not need to penetrate. Sperm has been known to work it’s way from hair to cervix. The only 100% method of birth control is no sex at all.
he’s wrong. 10,000 sperm is released during pre-ejaculation alone. tell him to wise up and get a condom
"Pulling out" is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, actually when cum dries out is when the sperm dies, as long you its warm and wet and cum is near the viginia area you can still get pregnant. Of course i personally have practice the pulling out method, and i havent gotten pregnant by that, but its because ovarian problems. Anyways, Being a week late on your period could be cause by many factors it could be strees and anxiety, just calm down and wait it out, now if it takes you 2-3weeks and u havent had your period, then its a possibility that you are pregnant, just take a pregnancy test !
DONT believe everything!!! do your reasearch on it, theres lots of articles and websites about this method.
Ditto the first answerer. Your boyfriend is WRONG. He is also selfish for treating you like that and you need to think of what’s right for YOU not him. Of course he’s going to like sex better with no condom or "inconvenient" birth control, but where does that leave you? Quit worrying and start planning what you will do if you are pregnant. If it turns out that it’s a false alarm you need to be firm about safe sex (safe from pregnancy AND STDs!)
You can get pregnant with the pull out method. Air does kill sperm, but it doesn’t die instantly. It takes 3 or 4 minutes for them to die, I think, because they are surrounded in natural fluids meant to keep them alive. Three or four minutes is a long time, and you could easily get pregnant. If you ask your doctor they will tell you that this is not the method of choice and you should have some sort of protection. If your boyfriend doesn’t want to use protection, then you should tell him "no more until we have protection." Stick by it.
‘With how easy it is in today’s society to find out information I can’t believe so many young girls fall for this or so many young boys are stupid enough to believe in this. I have many friends born to the pulling out method. There is sperm in precum which is excreated during sex to lubricate you. You need a pregnancy test tell the boy who isn’t obviously your friend that he shouldn’t endanger you with his lack of knowledge just to get a piece
Tell you BF that he needs to read up on his "natural spermicide" theory. If he can find anything to read on the subject! Hate to tell him but he is definitely wrong! I was on the Depo Provera shot for 5 yrs. and the doctors told me that it would take at the least 1 yr. to get pregnant. They were wrong. It only took 2 months! Anyways, my husband and I used the "pulling out method" after my son was born due to lack of insurance and resources to get on birth control and well now we are having another baby! And we were overly cautious by using rubbers most of the time and the "pulling out method" every time. My two kids will be 17 months apart. No you shouldnt be worried but get a test. Just a little note: the stress and worrying about it too much can sometimes cause your period to be late. Just dont use that method anymore and buy a pregnancy test!
sweetie I have gotten pregnant not once but 2 times using that "method". Sorry it does not work! I’d be getting a test! I am married and cant take birth control pills and was planning on getting my tubes tied since we already had 2 and had sex 1 time unprotected and he pulled out and guess what…….I’m 16 weeks pregnant! I wish you the best though. You really need to do some research on birth control if you dont want any children. There are alot of options. I was careless 1 time and now got another baby on the way!!
I was messing around with my partner and im 17 weeks pregnant
We didnt even have sex, the tip went in slightly for 3 secs.
Your boyfriend is wrong
Yes be worried
Sorry x
