Were those children born to brave parents who made a choice to selflessly sacrifice to do their societal duty, or could it be that having sex is fun and only relatively recently have we managed to figure out how to do it without risking pregnancy? Given individual choice, would we have such a large population to begin with?

- Tadpole9181 1y agoPulling out is not birth control. Good Lord.
- pyuser583 1y agoThe pullout method is behind the demographic free fall that began in the 19th century. It’s absolutely capable of changing demography. It’s not capable of providing consistent timing of pregnancies.
- pretzellogician 1y agoActually, it is. It's just not the most effective method. This Planned Parenthood link says in theory 96% effective, in reality 78% effective. (Caveat: their definition of "effective" is not quite clear.) https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/withdrawal-pull-out-method/how-effective-is-withdrawal-method-pulling-out https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/withdr...
- bethekidyouwant 1y agoI have five kids all five were conceived during a single act. Pulling out is the only form of birth control my partners and I have ever practised. in my opinion even for a very fertile person if you ( and I’m not sure how someone could fuck this up ) actually pull out there will be no conception.
- electricboots 1y agoIn my experience it’s 100% effective over a couple longterm(ish) relationships that total to about 4 years in my early 30s. Average around 3 to 4 times a week after accounting for time apart. I guess I could be sterile in my older age?
