My boyfriend and I have used withdrawal frequently over the years (usually for those months/year I was taking a break from hormones), and never had an oops/pregnancy. For the fertile time around ovulation, he'd put a condom on halfway through usually, just as added insurance.


I think that combining FAM + withdrawal, as well as having a guy who's very self-aware about ejaculating and the "rules" (urination before sex, etc.), it's a pretty reliable way to go.
