What is withdrawal?
Withdrawal (or �pulling out�) is a when a guy pulls his penis out of his partner�s vagina before he ejaculates, or cums, so that no semen enters her body.
This can be tough. It means a guy has to have complete control over his body so he pulls out completely before any semen enters her vagina or gets near the opening.
If he is able to pull out without releasing any semen on or near the opening of the vagina, then withdrawal is pretty effective. When used perfectly, withdrawal prevents pregnancy about 96 percent of the time. But, that drops to an unsafe 81 percent with typical or �real world� use, because many guys don�t have enough control to pull out on time, especially when they�re so close to the pleasure of orgasm.
A major side effect of pulling out is the risk of spreading sexually transmitted infections. Pre-ejaculatory fluid, the stuff that leaks from the penis before a guy comes, can carry infections. Another problem is that pulling out often makes sex less pleasurable for the guy. He�s worried about controlling himself and can�t relax and enjoy orgasm.
