I live with my parents, so if I have more money on hand than I need, they suspect I’m doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
This morning, they said, “Aren’t you doing papa-katsu? If you do something you shouldn’t and end up pregnant, pay for everything out of your own savings.”
I basically assume that if you use condoms, you won’t get pregnant.
Pregnancy isn’t really possible, right?
Even latex-free gloves used in hospitals can have a hole in one glove out of a small box like that.
So it’s impossible to rule out the possibility that a condom might also have a tiny hole.
You understand, as basic common sense, that even if you became pregnant, you couldn’t simply run to your parents for help, right?
And you do understand that terminating a pregnancy carries risks, including the possibility that some people may die, right?
If you don’t want to meet a tragic end, take the pill and have your partner wear a condom too.
However, when you tell a man you’re on the pill, many of them only worry about pregnancy and assume they’re fine when it comes to STIs. Some will even think, “Then we don’t need a condom,” and take it off without permission, like idiots. So don’t tell him about the pill—make sure he wears a condom every time.
After reading your post, do you understand now that it needed to be explained this plainly?

If you’re worried they’ll suspect you’re carrying the money, you could open a new bank account and deposit the allowance before heading home. You’re in your 20s, so you probably wouldn’t need your parents’ consent either.
As other respondents have mentioned, even condoms aren’t 100% effective against pregnancy, so you can’t say you’re completely safe. I recommend using them together with birth control pills or something similar.

This feels less like a serious question and more like a joke, because it seems like something you could easily find out by doing a little research.
“If you put 100 yen into a piggy bank every day, you’ll definitely have 36,500 yen saved after one year (365 days), right? This is a serious question.”
Even if you say that, I think most people would respond, “Is this a joke?”
In this case, the answer would probably be that you can’t say you’ll definitely have that amount saved, since there’s always a nonzero chance it could be stolen along the way. If you also consider extremely unlikely events, such as the piggy bank disappearing because of a natural disaster, then it becomes difficult to answer “yes” with certainty.
The same applies to this question: if you take even unlikely possibilities into account, you have to say that pregnancy is possible.
However, there are also many couples in the world who want children but are unable to conceive. Some even spend large amounts of money trying to have a child. For some people, it can cost several million yen.

Even if you take precautions, pregnancy risk can be reduced to nearly 0% when engaging in intimate activity, but it can never be exactly 0%.
Also, why is having money automatically linked to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)? There are countless reasons someone might have more money.
Even if you live with your parents, I don’t understand why an adult can’t manage their own money. There are countless ways to manage money without using cash. Even if you deposit cash at a financial institution, properly managing your bankbook can greatly reduce the chance of being found out.
Please learn more about money management.

Is this supposed to be a serious answer—or is it just wrong?
I’m a female member, Potassium.
Whether it’s the pill or condoms, you can get pregnant if you use them incorrectly. Even when used properly, the possibility of pregnancy isn’t zero. They say pregnancy can even occur from pre-ejaculate, so as long as you’re having sex, the risk is never zero.
As for how much you can reduce the chances of pregnancy, I think you should look up the figures you personally trust.
Also, since when did this Q&A site become a health education class? Maybe do your own research first.
You’ll end up being deceived by a man and getting pregnant.
Your personal theory??

I love how clearly the setup and punchline come through. The setup in “This is a serious question” really lands.
So you’re hoping to find someone whose ejaculation is powerful enough to burst through a condom. Hope you find him.

No—even when condoms are used correctly every time, it seems that 2 out of 100 women will become pregnant over the course of a year. When incorrect use is included, that number rises to 18.
That’s not a low enough rate to say it’s impossible.
I think it’s better to use the pill or an IUD as well.

Even with a condom, it can occasionally slip off, so it’s not foolproof.
When I was dating my ex-wife, we used to combine it with the now-discontinued Mileura on her fertile days.
To avoid arousing suspicion, save it all without spending lavishly until the day you move into your own place. Keep your mouth shut.

No, there’s still a chance of pregnancy even if you use a condom.
I found the intent of your question a little difficult to understand, so I simply answered it as directly as I could.
