Withdrawal
What is withdrawal?
Withdrawal is the
process of removing the penis from the vagina prior to
ejaculation.
How does withdrawal
work?
Withdrawal works by
having the male partner remove his penis before he ejaculates.
Ejaculation occurs outside the vagina reducing the likelihood
that semen will reach the uterus.
How do you use
withdrawal?
The responsibility
belongs to the man. He pays attention to stimulation and seeks
to withdraw his penis prior to ejaculation.
How effective is
withdrawal?
Typical use of
withdrawal, which is how most people use it, has a failure rate
of approximately 18-19%. You should take a pregnancy test if
you are experiencing any pregnancy symptoms.
What are the side effects or health
risks of withdrawal?
Outside of the
transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, withdrawal does
not possess any side effects or health risks as a means of
birth control.
Is withdrawal
reversible?
Yes. Withdrawal does not
have any effects on either the male or female reproductive
function. It is possible to get pregnant immediately if
withdrawal is no longer used.
How much does withdrawal
cost?
Withdrawal is
free.
What about withdrawal and sexually
transmitted diseases (STD's)?
Withdrawal does not
prevent the vagina from coming in contact with your partner's
skin. Because of pre-ejaculate excretions, withdrawal does not
prevent the vagina from coming in contact with bodily fluids.
Withdrawal should NOT be considered as a means for protection
against the transmission of sexually transmitted
diseases.
