Although abstinence and outercourse are extremely effective in preventing pregnancy and STD, it is difficult to avoid sexual intercourse. And if you are planning to refrain, but end up with vaginal sex, you may be pregnant if you do not use birth control.
Most people end up with sex with another person at some point in their lives. Therefore, it is always good to have a reserve plan for birth control, such as holding a condom. Condoms remain the only birth control method which has been found to be effective in protecting yourself from STD.
Outercourse can also have its own shortcomings as well. Some types of outercourse can spread STD. During intercourse, if semen accidentally gets on a vulva or in a vagina, this can lead to the occurrence of pregnancy.
To some people, it can be difficult to avoid vaginal sex when they are involved in sexual activities. Sometimes people who make use of outercourse in order to prevent pregnancy do not have alternative birth control plan at hand. In the event that they cannot control their self, they later result in having unprotected sex which can lead to pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
