Let us begin with Coitus Interruptus.



Do not be alarmed by the fancy sounding name, for some of the more experienced ones amongst us its the most common. Simply put it is called the Withdrawal Method.

What is the Withdrawal Method? It is the contraceptive method that prevents fertilization by preventing contact between the sperm and egg. The male partner removes his penis from the vagina and external genitalia of the female before ejaculation occurs. In other words he does not cum inside.

The effectiveness ( chance of not getting pregnant) is 4% to 19% ( bet you did not know that).

The Pros and Cons

It costs nothing, Involves no chemicals, no devices, it is available in every situation.



The chances of getting pregnant with this method is much higher than with other methods.

Some men do not know when to withdraw.

Some men do not withdraw in time.

It interrupts the excitement, the most pleasurable state (for the men).

High risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease.



What are your thoughts about this method? Do the pros outweigh the cons?
