If you do it correctly, pulling out can be effective in preventing pregnancy. That said, it can be hard to do it the right way *every time*. So, there is risk involved. I don't recommend it. Pulling out also doesn't protect against STDs, so using a condom is much safer - both to help prevent STDs and to add extra pregnancy prevention.
