Withdrawal – early withdrawal of the penis from the vagina before ejaculating. Is the most available method of contraception, so widely practiced by couples. But is this method effective? Does it health? Today we will answer these and other questions relating to the interruption of sexual intercourse.

Undeniable advantages

Method interrupted sexual intercourse is widely used because it has advantages. In particular, it is necessary to highlight the following:

• Coitus interruptus is an affordable way to protect against unwanted pregnancy when there are no other options of contraception (in terms of spontaneous sex, when there is no desire to get pregnant).
• Does not require material investments and use of third-party items.

The danger of the method

Most experts strongly against the use of aborted sex, considering that this contraceptive method is of little use. Moreover, it is dangerous to health. Here harmful than coitus interruptus:

1. Coitus interruptus can have bad effects, as it increases the risk of disease in men. During the premature cessation of intercourse the interference in reflectorised. A man can't relax until the end, trying to control my feelings in order to withdraw the penis and not allow the girl to get pregnant. This is bad for the nervous system. If you frequently use this method of contraception may trigger nervous disorders, stress.
2. Coitus interruptus causes physical illness of men it leads to violations of the internal organs, the appearance of urethritis and prostatitis, erectile the development and fertility of sexual dysfunctions.

Worth risking your health? I doubt it, especially coitus interruptus gives only a 70% chance of protection from pregnancy (according to statistics, this method of contraception when used throughout the year leads to pregnancy in 30 pairs of100).

Minimum efficiency

Why the method of interrupt sex does not give the expected effect? This is due to three main reasons:

• not all men can control themselves, and clearly feel the approach of ejaculation;
• in the beginning intercourse, a small quantity of sperm (about 5 % of the total number of spermatozoa in one dose of sperm);
• sometimes the sperm remain in the urethra of the male after sex (3 % "tadpoles" remain viable for another 15-20 minutes), so the repeated contact they can get into the vagina.

When you can use

If, despite all the above disadvantages, the couple wishes to use this method of contraception should know about a few rules. Sexologists, andrologists and psychologists say that coitus interruptus is valid in three cases:

1. A man and a woman are confident in each other, I know that none of them is infected with a sexually transmitted infection.
2. Couple ready to become parents. If a woman still gets pregnant, it will not be a severe tragedy.
3. The method of the interrupted act is used in extreme cases when there is no possibility to use another method of contraception.

To reduce the likelihood of unintended pregnancy and to prevent the development referred to in article problems can if you do interrupt sex, according to the following rules:

• it is not enough just to withdraw penis from the vagina, we must also see to it that the ejaculate did not get on genitals of the partner (this is enough to get pregnant);
• before sexual intercourse the man should go to the bathroom and take a shower, the same procedure should be done before the repetition of the sexual act;
• it is necessary to have on hand spermicidal tool that should be used if you do not succeed in time to withdraw penis from the vagina.

To summarize: if you are not planning a pregnancy in the near future, it is better not to use the interrupt of the act. Yes, it does not require investing money, serious preparation can be applied by all couples. However, it gives low protection against unwanted conception, is not a barrier to infections triggers the development of physical and mental disorders. Interrupt intercourse is permissible only subject to the rules and only in cases of extreme necessity (when other methods of contraception do not exist).
