Exactly. I know people well into their twenties who still think there's a method of contraception called "pulling out".

WRONG!

I was reading some shite, comes-free-in-the-paper weekly mag the other day that actually suggested this to a woman who wrote in saying she didn't like using condoms.

Shocking. Maybe she can sue them when she's pregnant and has chlamydia.

As a contraceptive (obviously not a barrier to disease) and if performed correctly it's more effective than spermicides or the diaphragm. With a failure rate of only 4% (condoms have a 2% failure rate, to put that in perspective). So it's actually a pretty fucking good contraceptive technique, if you do it right.

There's a correct way to pull out?

Pretty much just actually making sure you do pull out, and promptly. There's no like a kung-fu technique or anything. There's no manual dexterity involved.
Problem seems to be that around 30% of people using the method don't do it properly, for whatever reason.

That really depends on the situation - if it's it's that effective (which I'm surprised to hear) and you're in a long term relationship, then ok. If you're having a drunken liason with someone, dear god no. Never mind the STD risk, that places far too much trust on the guy to get things right...

So it is just down to timing then.
I was wondering for a minute whether there was some weird form of tantric maneuver that you have to perform in order to pull out correctly

If you do it right, it's an almost a perfect barrier technique. The problem people have long had with it is that it was thought that Cowper's fluid contained sperm. We now know it doesn't and that explains the efficacy of the technique.

So all you have to do is fight every urge thats compelling you to perform the act in the first place?

Well, I suppose its not ideal...
