Pulling Out vs Condoms

A recent study published in the June edition of the journal Contraception questions the usefulness of condoms versus the pulling out method.  According to their study, we’re about to get our world rocked.
To hear more, keep reading after the jump>>>The actual study actually claims that the pulling out method is about as effective as using a condom. The people behind the study report:
If the male partner withdraws before ejaculation every time a couple has vaginal intercourse, about 4% of couples will become pregnant over the course of a year. However, more realistic estimates of typical use indicate that about 18% of couples will become pregnant in a year using withdrawal. These rates are only slightly less effective than male condoms, which have perfect- and typical-use failure rates of 2% and 17%, respectively.
