"Whoops!" is meaningless. And you can still have sex when pregnancy is possible, simply use an alternative entrance, or use a short term contraceptive option like a condom.
According to actual studies rather than people trying to push an agenda, failure rate is comparable to condoms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_birth_control_methods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_birth_control_me...
- ceejayoz 10y agoThe CDC doesn't agree. http://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/contraception/unintendedpregnancy/pdf/family-planning-methods-2014.pdf http://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/contraception/unintend... Condoms are also pretty crappy in typical use, so I wouldn't consider that a success even if the number lined up. IUDs and contraceptive implants are massively more reliable than either in typical use.

That is obviously silly, as one method is significantly more reliable than the other. >Condoms are also pretty crappy in typical use Typical use matters for population control, not for a responsible individual's personal use. I know if I am putting a condom on or not. The large percentage of people who do not put one on despite relying on them as their sole contraceptive does not lower the failure rate for me, it merely brings down the average failure rate across the population. Other people's failures do not cause me to fail.
