Q: ” If the condom doesn’t break, can the girl get pregnant?”
A: Yes. The odds of pregnancy, even if you use condoms perfectly (which doesn’t always happen), are somewhere between 2 and 15 percent. According to the book Contraceptive Technology by Hatcher and others:
– With perfect use (meaning couples use condoms consistently and correctly at every act of sex), 98 percent of women relying on male condoms will remain pregnancy free.
– With typical use, 85 percent relying on male condoms will remain pregnancy free.
– In one year with perfect use, 95 percent of women relying on the female condom will remain pregnancy free.
– With typical use, 79 percent relying on female condoms will remain pregnancy free.
The only way to be absolutely sure that no pregnancy occurs is complete abstinance.
