You've never heard of people relying on withdrawal? It was still pretty popular when I was in college three years ago, usually when the woman got nasty side effects from hormonal BC.

That tends to end up in big families. It is the least dependable protection.

It's slightly worse than condoms at around 96% per year vs 98% per year.

Hormonal BC is 99.9% in comparison but is not in the man's control :(
