She would still have to either trust him or take birth control herself as well.
Is any birth control really trust free?
The only thing that works is abstinence. It's like handling a gun. Don't put your dick in something that you can impregnate unless you're ready for kids.

Worked for me, turned gay. Five stars/zero kids.
Keep trying! You’ll get his ass gregnant one day if you try hard enough!
or girl’s ass, I’m not sure which kinda gay you are!
I know it puts me at odds with probably every sex ed curriculum, but I don't think abstinence counts as birth control because it's not coitus that risks pregnancy. It's like saying ice skating is birth control.
Worked for me. Still don’t have kind
Condom. You can see that it's there. Closest you can get.
It is pretty easy to tamper with a condom in invisible ways, from poking holes or letting it expire, to stealthing. Hell, you can even cook the condom at low heat for a while in its package and you will cause significant structural damage to it, without even bruising most packaging.
Even a freshly bought condom and a little sleight of hand can go a long way into tampering. No birth control is trust free.
Get a vasectomy, it’s pretty close
The other party still has to trust that you actually got it and all the rest of the sperm have passed.
Lab tested and certified baby, I’d put it on my resume if that wasn’t weird
Would have to add some cryptography to that certificate to make it trustless.
New cryptocurrency in 3... 2...
I was just thinking about good old fashioned PGP lol.
Penis Gay Pregnancy
But then you're trusting every doctor's office to only sign off on men that are snipped. You need a decentralized oracle with random inspections from local sperm auditors.
I mean, a baseline trust in medical practice should be a given. Maybe not.
Be me
You're always supposed to use multiple methods regardless.
Pullout game strong af. Using it for years.
Having said that, I don't recommend it.
Edit: the down votes 😆 I said I don't recommend it! At least I'm responsible towards others!
I have two kids already, we take good care of them. Having another one would just mean more love. Don't worry guys. 😊❤️
What’s pullout
It's a type of couch/sofa that turns into a bed
And we wonder why teen pregnancy is such a problem.
Nobody here seens to have answered it so:
The pull-out "method" is when a person pulls their penis out of a vagina before they ejaculate. It's not effective because you can't be sure you've timed it right and some sperm can still escape before ejacualtion. It's a shitty "method". Don't use it like the idiot above.
I take offense to you calling me an idiot. That's not fair. I have extremely good ejaculation control. But I still obviously don't recommend this to anyone else. It's a shitty method if you leak a little bit during sexual activity, too, which I never do.
Do note that we often time sex to low fertility sectors in the menstrual cycle.
Again. Do not use this method. (But no need to hate on someone it does work well for, wtf.)
Alright thanks for the response !
Oh my dear child ❤️
Ironically, in the hands of an experienced practitioner, the pullout method is very effective at preventing pregnancy.
The problem comes when it’s a kid trying it for the first time having sex, or someone not in full control of their facilities towards the end of sex. Easy to get caught up and “forget” if you’re having a good time.
Yeah, that's me. I have extremely good ejaculation control and know myself very well at the end of sex. Like, I've been using it for like 20 years. And the two times I actually wanted to make children we became pregnant immediately, so we are both very fertile. So I know it's working well.
But as you say, you have to be experienced to trust it. It was more scary in the beginning.
It's been working for my wife and I for five years, but it's a low risk situation for us since we could handle another kid if I ever had a whoopsie daisy.
It's good that you also weigh the risk against your ability to raise another one. That's the true responsibility right there. Unprotected sex I feel is only ever irresponsible if you run a risk of infecting someone or making a baby that you don't want to or can't raise properly.
I wish you and your wife the best in your lives together. ❤️
It's good for both parties to be able to take control of it for themselves, surely? And for couples that do trust each other, it gives them another option.
