A member asked:

Why do some people never get pregnant from the pull out method?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Withdrawal Method: It very well may be that the male in that scenario is not expressing much pre-cum. But, please know that this is not the common story. We hear much more stories of pregnancy happening on this form or 'birth control'.
