Pulling out is not birth control

True it is generally regarded as ineffective from a public health perspective. I have known people who relied on it though with some success (in both cases it was a committed relationship and they just relied on it as a temporary stopgap while between birth controls) I'd hazard to say, pulling out is an option if your risk tolerance is high enough, but it's risky as hell since precum often contains sperm as well
