re: Is birth control really only 99% effective or is that more a safety barrier from lawsuits?

Would be interesting if you could do a study at some Third World brothel where prostitution is legal. Do they get pregnant every other month with the number of dudes cumming & going?

Two things here:

1. I’m fairly certain legal brothels don’t let dudes just raw dog and shoot their load wherever they want.

2. That’s not really how regular birth control (the pill) works. It either works for the month or it doesn’t. It doesn’t really matter whether the woman has sex 3 times or 1000 times, as long as the pill did its job that month. If it doesn’t work then more sex will obviously increase the odds of pregnancy. So I would expect the “failure rate” in that scenario to be somewhat higher than average. But not as much higher as you might think.
