Condoms and Those " But what are the chances?!?!" Moments

Almost.

And there's the rub (so to speak).

What's the stats again? Damn, I haven't looked at a condom wrapped insert in a while. Something like 90+% effectiveness with condoms?

Accidents happen.

About 85% when used correctly, I think is the number. Those little guys are wiley. If it slips while you are inside her, they can get out and off they go! Or if there is a tiny, tiny hole....

Birth control pills are 99.9% effective and I know women who have gotten pregnant on the pill, even when used properly.

First result of "condom failure rate" Google search:



Still 3% with "perfect use" -- used consistently and correctly all the time.

I have a niece who is the result of a properly used condom.

Here ya go.

The Truth About Condoms

The best way to go is always bet that the odds are against you and protect yourself to the fullest extent....unless you are ready for the consequences.

I hate percentages.

Woah, I was starting to narrate the complete story, when I received an SMS from my girl. Her period has arrived woohoo!!!

Im gonna take her to a gynecologist for pill indications...

Perfect condom use!
How can you use them wrongly?Put them on your toes.

I always find it amazing that pregnancies occur with protection.
The egg has to be in the right place, a sperm has to swim there and penetrate it,1 form of contraception should be in place but fails,all these things have to line up to get pregnant.

Just think, some couples can try to conceive for years and get nowhere, others can get pregnant just by looking at each other.

The body is an amazing machine.
My friend was on a form of injected contraceptive.She became blind in one eye, went to the doctors and found the blindness was caused by her being pregnant.

Personally I think people should use 2 forms of concraception, the pill and in this day and age, condoms.If that doesnt work then that little sperm is a gooden and the kids gona be a genius!!

A friend of my brother (actually a doctor) slipped through the percentages.

I don't know how short the "relationship" was but it wasn't long-term. They used a condom, which broke, so she used the "morning-after" pill...and still became pregnant with twins!

While this upset her life a bit, she was in her mid 30s and had a very good support network (including parents with a big house, etc.) and was lucky enough that, while the relationship did not continue, the man was interested in supporting/being there for the children.

It's an ill wind...

Its a danged wind allright... and percentages always bring the pessimistic side of me.

Uncertainty is horrible...

But that was mega unfortunate a condom, ok, it broke but isnt the lubricant on it supposed to kill sperm,AND th emorning after pill didnt work.

Blimey, theres that super sperm ive heard of.

married 10 years , average sex life ( 3 or so times a week give or take ) , condom used every time but when we planed kids and the 2 first goes , 2 kids .

Condom scores 100% success rate

Another thing bout condoms , i go allot longer so atleast get a better chance to give her hers if you know what i mean .... hehe

my wife and I used condoms after the birth of first child.
One broke so I sent to the manufacturer.

I assume it broke cause I couldnt get the super size.
