And where are you getting your percentages from?

The male will, in most cases, release sufficient sperm to impregnate the female well before actual ejaculation.

Dear nits, I wasn't being entirely serious, I was looking for an excuse to work God smiting someone for pulling out into the thread. But, since you asked...

(All numbers are from the Wikipedia articles which are obviously not perfect, but, they are cited and good enough for this.)

Pulling out:
Perfect use: 4%
Typical use: 5-28%

Rhythm:
Perfect use: 5%-9%
Typical use: 25%

Condom:
Perfect use: 2%
Typical use: 10–18%

Even if we take the worst typical case for Onan-ing + Rhythm style we get .28 * .25 = .07. Tack on a few percentage points for a stray rope here and there and you still end up in the typical condom usage range.
