What is the Withdrawal method?
In the withdrawal method (coitus interruptus), the erect penis is pulled out from the vagina to prevent the release of semen in the female. It is pulled out before ejaculation to prevent pregnancy. The ultimate goal is to prevent the sperm from reaching the vagina or even the external vulva (woman’s external genitals)
How to use it correctly?
Pulling out is practiced, as its name indicates. The man withdraws from inside you before his orgasm to reduce the chances of sperm entering the vagina and reaching the egg. It is easier said than done. It needs a lot of self-control and practice. You need to understand your body. The withdrawal will be less effective if you cannot accurately predict the moment of highest arousal.
Take precautions If you plan to have sex again within a short period. You should pass urine and clean off the tip of your penis. It will remove any remaining sperm from the previous ejaculatio
Myth and Truth
- Myth: It’s easy to pull-out
Truth: No, you may get into the flow at the peak of pleasure and don’t pull out.
- Myth: It’s safe to have pre cum
Truth: Precum contains sperm, so if the liquid flow gets in contact with the vagina, it is advised to have other contraception or have a pregnancy test if you witness any symptoms.
- Myth: Pulling out or withdrawal method is not good!
Truth: This method is extra good as you don’t have to ask any doctor for advice, take any pills, have an abortion, or any treatment to prevent pregnancy. If you are pro in this and your timing matches, you can enjoy your sex life in every way possible without getting pregnant.
- Myth: It protects you from STDs
Truth: It is entirely false. The withdrawal method doesn’t give any protection from STDs. Once the erectile organ is in the canal, there are chances of having a disease, even if you don’t ejaculate

In Short
Using withdrawal methods for birth control needs self-control. Even then, it is not a particularly effective style of contraception. Sperms may enter the vagina if withdrawal is not made on time or if pre-ejaculation fluid contains sperms. This method does not protect from AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. Healthcare providers do not generally recommend it.
