"Dear Dr. Kate, My boyfriend pulls out every time we have sex, but he ejaculates on or near my vagina. Could this make me pregnant? Yes, though the chances aren&amp;amp;#8217;t high. It is possible that when semen comes into contact with your own bodily fluids&amp;amp;#8212;even outside on your vulva&amp;amp;#8212;sperm could swim inside and head up towards your cervix. This is one of the reasons why the withdrawal method of birth control has such a high failure rate. Consider another form of birth control that will give you greater protection (condoms will also protect you against STDs). If you are relying on the pull-out method (which, let me say it again, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t recommend!), have him ejaculate on your belly or off to the side instead of near your vagina. Readers, do you use birth control or the pull-out method? Have you ever had a close call using the pull-out method? Have a sex health question of your own?
