Pull-Out Method
Withdrawal Method
Pulling out (also called withdrawal method) requires no additional hormones or devices, just impeccable timing and a lot of luck.
DETAILS
The pull out or withdrawal method is one of the least effective forms of contraception and works best when used with another birth control method, like a condom.
It works by keeping the sperm out of the woman’s body as the man withdraws his penis from his partner’s vagina just before ejaculation and ejaculating away from the vagina.
For withdrawal to work as well as possible, it has to be done right every time you have vaginal sex, and no semen must come into contact with the vagina.
HOW TO
For the pull-out method to work, it is best to use it with another form of contraception, such as a condom or the Pill.
This will help prevent pregnancy if you do no pull out in time. It is important that all of your penis is pulled out BEFORE ejaculating, and that you ejaculate away from your partner so that no semen comes into contact with her vagina.
PROS
- It is free
- It makes all other forms of contraception more effective
CONS
- It is extremely unreliable when used on its own
- It interrupts sex
- It does not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases
SIDE EFFECTS
There are no known side effects
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The withdrawal method, also known as pulling out or coitus interruptus works just like this: the guy pulls out his penis before he ejaculates. The idea is that not ejaculating inside the vagina will prevent pregnancy.
But as some sperms may already be released before ejaculation it is not the best idea we’d say. Although this method may be popular, it doesn’t work: Even when applied successfully, 78 percent – that is 22 of every 100 women – using this as their contraception method will become pregnant over a year. There are plenty of other more reliable contraception methods out there!
The Withdrawal method is also called coitus interruptus or “pulling out” and it requires great self-control, experience, and trust, and as such, it is pretty unreliable. It works, some of the time, by taking the penis out of the vagina before you ejaculate, limiting the chances of any sperm reaching the egg. With each ejaculation, you are releasing up to 400 Million sperms. However, not all sperm are released at the climax, some are a little more eager than that and can survive inside a woman`s uterus for up to five days, so even though you don’t finish off, you could still finish up making her pregnant.
No, not all, however it is far better to bathe and make sure that anything with ejaculate on it does not get near the vagina within one to six hours, their known lifespan outside the body.
To pull out correctly, the guy has to exactly know when he’s about to reach orgasm and to pull out in time, so that no ejaculate contacts the vagina or its proximate regions. It requires a lot of self-control and practice, and can always go wrong.
Sperm can survive up to 6 hours outside of the body and they have only one thought in their little heads: find the egg and fertilize it. As these strong swimmers are also released before ejaculation, the withdrawal method or pulling out is a risky game.
