GF GAMBLING WITH HER CB, DON’T WANT BF TO “PULL OUT” IN BED BECAUSE “SHE KNOWS HER BODY”

Gf doesn’t want me to pull out\

Hey all, So lately my gf has asked me not to pull out when we’re f-ing. She isn’t on any kind of birth control, so we’ve been relying on the pull out method.

She says she knows her body, knows when she’s ovulating, and says the day or two leading up to and the day after her period it’s really hard to get pregnant, so that’s when when she says I can leave it in, but I have my doubts.

I’m just not comfortable doing that as per the obvious potential consequences. I would never pressure her to start any form of birth control, but that would be the only way I’m comfortable not pulling out.

It’s her body and she knows it way better than I do obviously, so am I justified in thinking it’s extremely risky or is she correct?

Even if it was kinda a stupid question I just felt so inexperienced I needed to ask. She’s only the second person I’ve ever slept with and first “real” relationship

Netizens’ comments

1. My aunt and uncle only wanted two children. Their religious beliefs left them with the pull-out method as their only form of birth control. They gave me SIX cousins.
2. Welcome to parenting …!
3. You won’t pressure her to get on birth control, she shouldn’t be pressuring you into doing something you are not comfortable with.
   Consent is a two way street, if you don’t want to then don’t.
   She should understand and accept your choice.
4. ‘Knowing her body’ bit is suspicious, there are calendar-based methods but she’d need to carefully track her period. Unless she shows she does actually use them, don’t believe her.
   Also, pull out isn’t that safe either, it relies on you correctly telling when you’re close and having enough self control to pull out before you come.
5. She will get pregnant. End of story. If you don’t want this, it’s your choice to use your boundaries and say no, you will be using a condom.
6. You’re already using withdrawl as a “method” of contraception. For me, being a “method” implies some kind of reliability and an 80% probability in a year is not reliable enough for my comfort.
   What she’s asking is to use a variation of the “rhythm method” which is even less reliable than withdrawal.
   Personally I wouldn’t do either unless I was happy for my partner to get pregnant. For example – Mrs-Norty and I used withdrawl between our first & second children, but we practiced it knowing that we were planning a 2nd child and if it “failed” the worst-case was it messed with our timetable a bit.
