Withdrawal

This means pulling the penis out of the vagina before ejaculation.

Things to consider

• This is not an effective way of avoiding unplanned pregnancy.
• It can be very difficult to pull out in time.
• Pre-cum can contain sperm, making a pregnancy possible even if the penis has been pulled out before ejaculation.
• Does not protect against STIs.
