Lots of people use the pull out method at some point in their lives, but it’s not as effective as many other methods and it can be difficult to do it correctly. Show It’s hard to pull out in time.The number one reason why the pull out method fails is because the penis isn’t pulled out before ejaculation (cumming). Many people plan on pulling out, and end up forgetting or changing their minds in the heat of the moment. You have to pull out right around the time those pleasurable sex feelings are the most intense, which many people aren’t willing to do when it comes down to it. If you ejaculate inside your partner’s vagina, pregnancy is possible. Even if semen (cum) only gets on the outer genitals (vulva), sperm cells might swim into the vagina and cause pregnancy. Certain people can’t use withdrawal effectively.The pull out method is not a good way to prevent pregnancy if you experience premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation is when you ejaculate (cum) before you’re ready or realize it’s going to happen. It’s really common, especially for younger people — but it also means it may be hard for you to use the withdrawal method. Withdrawal is also not the best method if you can’t predict when, exactly, you’re going to ejaculate, if you’re sexually inexperienced, or if you don’t trust yourself to pull out at the height of sexual pleasure. You need lots of self-control and trust to use withdrawal.Self-control and trust are absolute musts for the pull out method. You need to have a healthy relationship, where both partners are equally committed to preventing pregnancy, to use withdrawal correctly. If you’re the person with the penis, you need to know for sure when you’re about to ejaculate, and then you need to pull out before it happens, every single time. You also have to be willing and able to stop having sex and get your penis away from your partner’s vagina, right when you’re at the height of sexual pleasure. If you don’t do these things, your partner could get pregnant. That’s a LOT of responsibility, so make sure you’re totally on board before relying on withdrawal for birth control. If you’re the person with the vagina, you need to trust that your partner will pull their penis out in time, every time. If your partner doesn’t usually cooperate with using birth control or doesn’t want to prevent pregnancy, they may not use the pull out method correctly — which puts you at risk for unintended pregnancy. It’s not always easy to practice withdrawal perfectly. That’s why it’s a good idea to look into using more effective methods like the IUD and the implant. They’re the most effective kinds of birth control. You can take this quick quiz to find out the best methods for you. And remember, emergency contraception (the morning-after pill) can help you avoid pregnancy in case there’s an accident and your partner doesn’t pull out in time.

There are several romance options they can interact with. They have three primary statistics: Love Points (LP), Kink Points (KP), and Lesbian Points (GP). Certain other romance options have additional statistics as noted in their sections. In Love and Sex, you take actions to do things or move around the game. Actions may cost you time and/or attributes. You can see what the action will cost you by hovering over the icon. Many actions have additional requirements, such as specific needs or attributes or characters in the room, or certain seasons. You can play either as a male character (Mike) or a female character (Bree). Please note that Mike has significantly more content in the game at this time. NeedsYou have 4 needs: Energy, Hunger, Grooming, and Fun. Energy is refilled by either sleeping (my bedroom, faster with the luxury bed bought at the mall), drink a coffee (kitchen, once per day, free action), taking a break (office, free action) or drinking an energy drink (bakery, 25$, consumable) You can only drink one coffee per day, taking a break counts as coffee. Hunger is filled by either having a meal (kitchen), eating a hotdog (mall, 5$), eating a hamburger (pub, 25$), or eating a pastry (bakery, 25$, consumable). Grooming can be refilled by taking a shower in the bathroom (at a lower level of love points your housemates will not allow you in the bathroom alongside with them) or eating a mint candy (bakery, 25$, consumable) Fun can be refilled by watching TV (living room), playing video games (after buying or being gifted the Z-box), play a game (arcade, 1$), take a break (office), reading the fun book (bookstore, 25$), watching a movie (movie theater, 10$), masturbate (living room, free action, requires under yellow fun) and complimenting/kissing the romance options. Sending texts to all the characters in your contacts is a good way to increase fun and love points at the same time. If one of your needs is below 5 it will block a small amount of actions, if your needs are in yellow (3 or below) they will block most of your actions, if your needs are in red (0) they will block almost everything except the most basic of actions (sleeping, eating and solving whatever need is in red) AttributesKnowledge increases the amount of money you get from working in the office, the amount of topics you get to talk about (you start with 2 and you get a new one every 10 levels) and the prerequisite for options in events increase knowledge by thinking hard (park, only when all your needs are above 5, 50% chance), reading a knowledge book (book store, 100$, free action), studying (university, 3h, 25$), and buying the knowledge machine (mall, 200$, not guaranteed every night) also increased by wearing certain clothes. Fitness increases your energy level and the prerequisite for options in events increase fitness by doing push-ups (your bedroom, only when all your needs are above 5, 50% chance), swimming (pool, only spring and summer months, requires bathing suit), going for a run (park, requires sports clothes), doing some light training (gym, requires sports clothes), doing some heavy training (gym, requires sports clothes), and buying the fitness machine (mall, 200$, not guaranteed every night) also increased by wearing certain clothes. Charm decreases the chance of giving a bad compliment and prerequisite for options in events increase charm by practicing speech (bathroom, only when all your needs are above 5, 50% chance), sunbathing (pool, only spring and summer months), getting a haircut (mall, 50$), partying (nightclub (15$), 50$), reading the charm book (bookstore, 100$), and buying the charm machine (mall, 200$, not guaranteed every night) also increased by wearing certain clothes. Morality is a Bree MC specific trait that describes how good or bad your character is. This controls what actions might be available with certain other characters, positive points will be called morality and negative points immorality. Your starting attributes are also raised by your choices in the prologue. SkillsThese there are the skills that currently matter in gameplay. All skills are picked at the start of the game skills, but some skills can be learned as the game progresses. The initial skill choice is detailed in the Walkthrough section. Good Skills
Skills also influence Daily Passive Love (more on that under 1.5) Bad Skills
MoneyThe OfficeFor Mike, the only way to reliably get money is to work at the office (you can also roam the streets for a random event or play vidya but you won't get far that way). Either work hard (4 hours) or work (4 hours), work hard gets you more money, and costs more fun but is only available if all your needs are above 5, work is available if your needs are above 3. You also have random events while working that can change how much money you get. Work is only available in day hours and from Monday to Saturday, this is important because of the next point important! Every Monday morning 100$ (50$ on easy, $200 on hard) will be required to pay the rent, if you can't do this then you'll take a massive relationship hit with your roommates. At the office, you have a promotion bar. When this reaches 100%, you will receive a promotion. This includes a new office and a salary increase. The more promotions you get, the more your salary increases. Promotions will also unlock new content. The office salary is based on the number of promotions, charm, and knowledge. Raising all of these attributes will raise Mike’s salary. Mall JobsFor Bree or Mike (if he loses or quits his office job), the alternative is mall jobs. Mall jobs pay much less than the office job and are not very fulfilling, but they will do the trick. These jobs include:
ShopsYou can purchase items at various shops. There are four types of items you can buy:
ChoresEach week you're supposed to do certain chores as part of the household. There will be a bar that fills up to 100% while you are in the house. When you have filled this bar it will go away. These are best left until Sunday as you don't have that much to do during that day. If you don't do the minimum of 4 chores then you'll lose 10LP with both Bree (or Mike if Bree MC) and Sasha. Doing unfinished chores even after your chore meter is maxed out will gain extra LP with your roommates. For 100$/week you can hire a cleaning service and not have to do chores. Getting SickYou have a small chance of getting sick every day. If you get sick, other characters will comment on it, but it otherwise has minimal effect on the game. If you buy medicine in the mall, using it will immediately remove the effect. |
