    This is honestly why decentralized platforms are really important. we need more stuff like briar. The way shit is going in the west, signal is going to be more or less useless in the next few years.

      I mean, if done properly it is effective, it’s just not 100% effective, but no birth control is. But combining the pullout method with an IUD is going to be much more effective than an IUD alone, even though they’re already near 100%. Same with both control pills. Hell even if you’re raw dogging it with no birth control, it’s definitely a hell of a lot better idea to try to pull out than to just nut inside.

        I remember there was a poster in my college health clinic. Pulling out combined with calendaring (tracking the fertile period) had a surprisingly low annualized pregnancy rate.
