Having a $100 bet with my friend!!, on a subject with condoms, lol Options

[Spec_R]

So my friend and I are having a bet for $100 dollars.

The bet is on the subject of condom,

He says that if the condom doesn't leak or have a hole in it. It is impossible for the women to get pregnant while having sex.

I said that condoms isn't perfect nor 100% safe. Even if you use it correctly.. There still will be a small chances of her being pregnant. Even at a slim chance like 1% or even .0001%, she still might be pregnant.

Who do you guys agree with? Show me proof and explain. Thanks

Shouldn't it say on the box?

For condoms, the typical failure rate is about 12%, somewhat worse than birth-control pills (8%), but better than the diaphragm (18%), withdrawal (19%) and rhythm (20%). [Source: "Contraceptive Technology," Irvington Press, and Family Planning Perspectives journal.] Researchers know that, as with other methods, the failure figures include many couples who don't use contraception every time. If couples used condoms consistently and correctly, researchers estimate, the condom's failure rate would plummet to 2% or 3%, or perhaps even less.

Mind you, this is from a 1995 source. I'll try to find a more recent one.


Edit: 2004 source

Condoms are not totally safe sex: they reduce the risks of penetrative sex. Experience with birth control shows that over a period of a year about 6% of women who use condoms as their sole form of contraception will get pregnant. Although this is not all down to condom failure – a proportion of the pregnancies are no doubt due to failure to use condoms every time – this is still quite a high failure rate.
