99.5% is the rate for skilled condom users, I think. The overall rate is lower.
Now there's an overloadable phrase. "skilled condom users". "Girls like boys who have skills!"
As an aside, one in 100,000 happens. If 10,000 people have showed up to TFP, and if you had happened to you it you would have a 50% chance of mentioning it, then that's a 5% chance it got mentioned here! =)
5% isn't zero. But it isn't all that high. And things that get in the way of Birth Control (like biology, or other medications) are, probably, a more likely explanation.
