The Admiral 07/26/19 3:03:31 PM #194:	joe40001 posted... What does "96% effective" mean? Because if it means what I think it means (1/25 times you are effectively having unprotected sex) and a BABY is at risk of being created those are some pretty bad odds. I still don't get how people who are otherwise smart and also know that they are not ready to have a baby are ok with those kinds of odds. It means if you use the pull-out method properly, you only have a 4% chance of pregnancy occurring. Keep in mind that this stacks with birth control pills, which are 91% effective. So, together, they're 99.64% effective, meaning only a 1 in 278 chance of pregnancy. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:925219623] in Percent of...
