Hey there, had PIV sex using withdrawal + pullout, I know I am very well protected from this so wasn’t worried but I was talking to one of my friends, and apparently you are supposed to leave a good bit of room at the top? Didn’t know that and had always kind of gotten rolled down the reservoir a little bit. but basically my question is if the condom never broke is that still “perfect” use, since I pulled out before ejaculating and the condom wasn’t broken and stayed on?

Hey there Mediapd,

If the condom remained intact and on during ejaculation, you can assume it did its job in preventing pregnancy. Leaving space in the reservoir tip is important, and not doing that can lead to breakage, but if you saw that it remained intact and the fluids remained inside the condom, you are protected from pregnancy.
