I’ve heard a lot of people talking about this “pull out” thing. It’s all over the internet, and everyone’s got an opinion. So, I decided, why not give it a shot myself? See what all the fuss is about, you know?

First off, I did some digging. Just like any sane person would. Turns out, it’s basically about a guy pulling out before he, you know, finishes, during sex. No protection, just relying on timing. Sounds kinda risky, right? But also kinda thrilling, if I’m being honest.
So, I talked to my girl about it. She was a bit hesitant at first. I mean, it’s her body, so she gets the final say. But after some serious chatting, and me showing her some stuff I found online about how it can be “fairly effective,” she agreed to try it. We also decided to use spermicide, just to be safe, or safer, at least. We got some of that stuff at the drugstore.
The first time we tried it, it was… intense. I get what that one post meant about it being hard to “switch on the logical part of the brain.” When things get going, it’s like, your body’s on autopilot. But I was determined. I kept telling myself, “Focus, man, focus!”
When the moment came, I pulled out. It felt weird, not gonna lie. A bit of a mood killer, maybe. But also kinda exciting, in a weird, risky way. We both looked at each other like, “Did we just do that?”
We did it a few more times after that. Got better at the timing. It’s definitely something you have to practice, I’ll say that much. It’s like a game, but with big potential results. And we had one rule, no trying this at all when she is around her period time, just too risky. One time I felt like I barely made it on time, which was scary and I needed a break from trying after that, we both did.

Then one time I was not able to “pull out” in time and we both freaked out. I went straight to check if she was around her period, and thankfully, she wasn’t. But still, that was a close call. We were both on edge for weeks, waiting to see if she got her period.
She did get it though, thank goodness. But man, that was a wake-up call, and that was the end of us trying that.
- It’s way harder than it looks.
- It takes a lot of trust and communication with your partner.
- It’s not foolproof. There is risk, that you might not be able to “pull out” in time.
- Spermicide helps, but it’s not 100%, so you need to be ready to take responsibility for the risk.
Here’s what I learned:
Would I recommend it? Honestly, I don’t know. It’s a personal choice. It was an experience, I’ll give it that. But it’s definitely not for everyone. You gotta be prepared for the possibility of a major life change if things don’t go according to plan.
