Pulling out is about as effective as condoms at preventing pregnancy.

People always say that “it only works if you actually do it and people don’t have the discipline”. The data do not bear that notion out. Condoms have a similar failure rate to withdrawal with both imperfect use (which factors in simply not pulling out some of the time and not using condoms some of the time) and perfect use. It’s solid birth control, but neither compares to hormonal methods.

(Btw the link is from the academic journal Contraception and argues that messaging discouraging withdrawal results in more unwanted pregnancies. Its not permissiveness motivating this comment, it’s concern.)

Its critical this message is out there because if people are already having unprotected sex they need to know that it’s very worth it to pull out. The messaging I hear a lot of the time would make me think I’m already in major trouble re: pregnancy because I’m not using a condom - which could make me say “whatever, blast off”

People know withdrawal does not effectively prevent the spread of STIs if they think it does at all, so discouraging it on that basis sounds crazy to me.

[-]

UncagedKestrel@reddit

Critical info missing here.

The pull-out method CAN be effective — BUT there a MAJOR CAVEAT THAT ALMOST NO ONE ACTUALLY DOES.

And that is to check whether they are part of the population who has sperm in their pre-cum.

According to the science, there's folks who DO have sperm in their pre-cum, and folks who only have sperm in their final load. You need to know which group you are in before you know if you can use the pull-out method.

That means going to a clinic and undergoing appropriate testing. On multiple occasions.

It also means being aware that sperm can and do live in the urethral tracts after you cum the first time, so if you are wanting a second round, you need to know how long to wait to ensure they're dead, or how to ensure they're cleared out of the pipes. Which requires a SPECIALIST, not some random Redditor, to help you work out for YOU as an individual.

Now, if you are one of the people who has sperm in their pre-cum, you are not going to be able to rely on the pull-out method. Use the condom, bro.

If you are one of the people who doesn't, then you can use the pull-out method, BUT you need to be hyper-aware of your own body, have on-point timing, and you're only getting the one round.

All of that equals a lot of extra effort and money spent on specialists when you could just wear a damn condom.

Those worked pretty well. But my technique was turning on the A/C, and opening the bedroom window about 1/3 of the way, creating a vacuum that pulled all the smoke out without leaving a trace.

[-]

caramelpupcorn@reddit

I'm not a smoker, but have known people who did and they used that thing and I could 100% smell it everywhere in their living space, clothes, etc.

I think it just makes people feel better to think they're doing something proactive to neutralize the smell but it doesn't actually do much.

[-]

spaceporter@reddit

It was invented at a time when most houses reeked of tobacco so all your really needed to do was subdue the scent down below the baseline smell of darts. It was pretty effective for that.

When parents started quitting smoking, or at least smoke outside (or even just crack a window), they became less useful.

[-]

Bradjuju2@reddit

Honestly, I haven't smoked since early 00's but the smell of weed is far better than the smell of weed, smoke, and bounce sheets. If my kids room suddenly starts smelling like laundry, I'll know...

[-]

Seldarin@reddit

Yeah, I wasn't a smoker either, but a good friend of mine in high school was. She was shocked that none of the stoner hacks for hiding the smell worked. Even a box fan wasn't good enough. Enough smell escaped that nonsmokers could still smell it easily.

The only thing we found that worked was hooking a squirrel cage to a 1000rpm 1/3 horsepower motor (Thing that handles all the air movement for a central air unit) and literally constantly cycling the air out of her room the entire time she was smoking. And even that she couldn't use when her parents were home because it was loud and you could feel the air moving down the hall.

[-]

discountErasmus@reddit

Come on, I was James Bond with my various devices and concealments. Now, it's possible that you are some sort of super smeller and are preternaturally observant. However, I am 100% certain that my parents had no idea what was going on with my room that only smelled like a laundry room when my girlfriend and I emerged to eat Drumsticks.

[-]

BusyBandicoot9471@reddit

Eh. Depends on use. If smoke ever left the tube, it didn't work. The trick was to stuff it with enough stuff to absorb the smoke as it settled, toss it, wash your hands and then your face. The smell on your breath was a different story though. You had to have damn good breath control.

You take a toilet paper roll (or paper towel roll), stuff it with laundry dryer sheets, cover one end with a sheet too, as seen in pics.

That townhouse reeked from 4:20 to 5:00 every day.

Remember a time back in the collage dorms in the 90s and thinking we had our coverup game on point. We had the door taped shut and were using the blow tube… all was good until the RA came pounding on the door. Quickly sprayed Ozium and ripped open the door. Apparently the whole floor smelled like dope. Said something about burning “incense” and all was good. Took a few minutes to realize that using the blow tube was kinda useless when we were passing around a giant Bob Marley size joint that was free burning and hot boxing the room and apparently the entire floor. But yeah, otherwise for like bong hits an and one hitters… that thing was the shit!

Man, I remember I had a buddy who lived in a house where the owner\land lord was not in to smoking. We used to sit around a table with an air purifier on top of it, blowing smoke through a TP tube with dryer sheet. I am certain it didn't really work very well, but it was the best we could do at the time.

I remember someone once saying "It just smells like dryer sheet weed in here."

LonerStonerRoamer@reddit

lmao not at all, just made my dorm room smell like monkey laundry.

Then I got wise.

I upgraded to using a plastic drink bottle, poking lots of holes in the bottom with a push pin, and filling it up with activated carbon from the fish tank supply aisle at Walmart which was only like $5 for a huge container at the time. Filled it up about 2 inches from the bottom, blew smoke through it, and it VASTLY improved my situation. Sometimes I'd take a rubber band and put a dryer sheet on the outside of this setup for the added aroma enhancement. I would also "prep" the dorm room by using an illicit oil warmer with lavender essential oils that really just made it smell overwhelmingly like flowers and no one complained.

[-]

mattroch@reddit

Ahh, a spoofing device. Or at least that's what a cop called it when he pulled it out of my buddies back seat. We started calling it a spoof after that.

[-]

kmill0202@reddit

I'd say they were at least somewhat effective. When I was in my first apartment, my roommate had her sister move in with us temporarily. We had a pretty strict no smoking rule. Not because we were squares or anything, but we had a strict landlord and upstairs neighbors who were narcs. We didn't want to risk eviction. But she smoked both cigarettes and weed in the apartment or the laundry room when we weren't around. I walked in on her smoking a joint one day. She at least had the decency to act ashamed and said she'd been doing it for a while and masking the smell with her paper towel tube contraption. I had noticed a bit of a smell here and there before I caught her, but I had figured it was just her clothes or jacket since I knew she was a smoker. She didn't stick around too much longer after that because she decided to move in with her boyfriend, but she took to smoking in her car after that, at least as far as I know.

We added a bag of popcorn to the microwave on our senior year trip. When the principal came around (not even 5mins later) to check on everyone, we were all high as fuck, eating the popcorn and watching Demolition Man. "Great movie!" he said, wished us a goodnight and left. One of my buddies broke the table clean off the stand, and another ripped a light scone off the wall. We put it back together as well as any stoned teens could and never heard anything about it from the grownups.

marcos_MN@reddit

From a chemistry point of view, they do an okay job of diluting the weed smoke, but the big caveat is that it only applies to the smoke that gets completely forced thru the filter; it does not help with the smoldering of the weed or the “chimney” effect while hitting. Furthermore, the apparatus used for smoking usually reeks way more than an individual hit, and therefore leads to detection frequently.

[-]

have1dog@reddit

You had to extinguish the bowl at the end of every hit.

[-]

marcos_MN@reddit

Even then, the “blowie” tactic only really worked if the people you were hiding from didn’t know what weed smelled like. The rest is confirmation bias.

Tried it once. Even had it connected to a closed container with a bunch of dryer sheets in it. Didn't work. Smell stayed for days. Weird part is that my mom doesn't believe much of what I say even to this day but she believed me when I told her I wasn't smoking pot in the house and it was incense.

We had a cardboard tube from a roll of wrapping paper stuffed with a whole box of dryer sheets. We called it The Boof-zuka. It still didn’t work.

Adventurous_Cloud_20@reddit

They weren't.

I associated with a number of devout aficionados of the Devil's Lettuce, and all of them had a method they truly believed masked the smell.

I tried telling them years ago, and I'll say it again; there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY to mask that sweet, skunky, stink.

One guy tried mixing it with vanilla pipe tobacco and smoking that way, and all that did was make vanilla scented candle skunk. Another insisted that rolling it in sweet corn husks and smoking that way would mask it (Iowa pot heads). By far, the most "creative" was a guy I lived next door to in my first apartment. He would heat up pine tar in a big pot on a hot plate in his living room and smoke in there. The whole building reeked whenever he did it, but nobody could figure out what the hell it was. It was only when he fell asleep one night and his pot of pine tar boiled over onto the hot plate and caught fire. The local fire company, state Fire Marshall, and police convinced him that while his pine tar boiling trick did indeed mask the pot stink, it wasn't worth lighting our building on fire.

9fingerjeff@reddit

We used to poke a bunch of holes in a 20oz mtn dew bottle and stuff it full of dryer sheets. We’d have a stick of incense going and 3 or 4 of us smoking in the basement and my buddies mom never knew. We’d also exhale into a plastic bag so you could take a quick breath or real air and then take your hit back in again. Same place a few of my friends tried doing “gravity hits” by hyperventilating while on your hands and knees and someone fills the bong up. When you start feeling light headed you take the rip that’s waiting for you and stand up. I saw one friend do that and I noped out. I did whippets and jumped into the pool but that didn’t look like fun at all.

[-]

Serious-Brush-6347@reddit

When I used these as a teen I made a smokeless joint holder to go with the combo, basically a scrubbed clear lightbulb(white stuff must go) take a clean dish detergent cap( it will thread onto the bulb) stick joint in cap thread the cap on bulb with said joint on the inside, pop the dish cap up and smoke through it, Viola smokeless joint holder

[-]

toadjones79@reddit

I honestly thought this was about killing ticks.

If you soak dryer lint in pesticide and stuff it in a toilet paper roll, and tie it off with a paper towel, mice will find it and line their nests with it. The mice are where tick larvae mature, and the lint will kill them at the source without harming anything else.

I did a lot of pot but not while I was still living at home.

Philly_3D@reddit

You had to jam a TON of dryer sheets in a 20oz bottle, cut off some of the little feet at the bottom. That worked!

If you really wanted no evidence: put more dryer sheets in a Pringles can, poke a bunch of large holes in the metal bottom of the can, and then push the above-mentioned 20oz item into the top of the modified pringles can and seal the seam between the two with duct tape.

You wouldn't even see smoke and it lasted forever. Now you just had to get a burn scar on one of your fingers that was tough enough to just put out the bowl ember the second you got done hitting it, so no wasted weed and no smoke in the air.

[-]

Enge712@reddit
