Hello everyone. I'm 22, in a monogamous relationship, and am sure we're both completely free of STDs. My only method of birth control for the past 3 years has been condoms (I'm not comfortable with the Pill due to my family's health history), and I've never had an issue.

( However, recently we've been tempted to give the withdrawal method a shot. )

My main questions are: are any of you careful, educated users of the withdrawal method? Do you use it alone, or do you combine it with condoms like what I do? How frequently do you practice it? What are your thoughts on my conundrum? With all the bad press that withdrawal gets (and which I've been trawling through online!), I guess I'm looking for some reassurance.

Yesterday my friend and I were talking and she told me that for the last six years she and her boyfriend have been using the withdrawl method as their only form of contraception. She has never been pregnant or even had a pregnancy scare. I really can't believe that that they've got away with it for this long! Do you think maybe one or other of them just isn't very fertile? She says her sister did the exact same thing for years with her husband and when they decided they actually wanted to have a baby she got pregnant pretty fast.
Personally there's no way I'd trust this as my only form of contraception.
