There have been people who still manged to knock someone up despite having it snipped, still wearing condoms and having their partner on the pill. So basically, if you aren't prepared to deal with a brat don't have sex, the only true 100 percent is for you yourself to be sterile


On the other hand, there are couples that have been trying for years without success. I think generally the risk of pregnancy even without protection is pretty low, but if you're regularly having sex with the same partner it's bound to happen eventually.

You could go hardcore and like, do condom + birth control pills + pullout but even a 0.5% chance is too high if you absolutely do not want kids at all.

You get complacent after a while too. When my girlfriend went on the pill I would still pull out every time, but eventually I started finishing inside and now I do that every time instead. You sort of have to trust in whatever form of contraceptive you're using, because not having sex is the only other alternative if you want to be 100% safe.


Are you ready/willing to have/raise a kid right now? If not how can you comfortably keep having sex?


Of course I don't want a kid, but everything in life is arguably based on a risk/reward model. If you want something you often need to take chances to get it, and the best you can do is try to minimize your personal risk as much as possible (in this case using proper protection during sex).

Same thing if you wanted to go out to the bar on Friday night. You might go with a friend or two, maybe don't accept drinks from strangers, don't drink too much, have a plan for a safe ride home, etc. Or you could just sit at home alone every night because you're afraid of the off-chance you'll wake up in a back alley with your wallet missing or something.

You won't die from not having sex, but imo it's a big part of the human experience and sharing it with someone you care about can have tremendous benefits for your well-being. It does a lot for you mentally well beyond just "Lolz p in v feel gud!" You just have to trust that you are doing everything in your power to prevent an unfavourable outcome (aside from avoiding said activity entirely). If you also find a partner who absolutely does not want to have kids, you can have the abortion/adoption discussion early on to find out where you both stand. Then that's another option on the table if all else fails.
