To be fair, that isn’t correct at all.
i could be misinterpreting what you mean by “most normal people” but it’s a wildly strange use, most people who aren’t seeking pregnancy use some form of contraceptive [0], the pill, condoms, etc… it’s almost 90% of sexually active and its been this steady since 2002.
> … who were not seeking pregnancy, 88% were using a contraceptive method in 2016, and this proportion has remained steady since 2002.
it seems most normal people are using contraceptives.
> …they get upset for some reason
im sure very few people are “upset” about this. are you misinterpreting someone correcting your overestimations as if they’re being upset?

- loeg 1y agoPulling out counts as a contraceptive method for that stat.
- toofy 1y agooh, indeed, thanks. only like 5.8%. and only 2.6 rely on family planning. more than 80% are using pills, condoms, iud, vasectomy, etc. again, “most normal people” are not relying on pulling out. most people, by a significant amount, are relying on other methods.
