Coitus interruptus, or withdrawal of the penis from the vagina before ejaculation, is a technique practiced in many cultures around the world. Coitus obstructus is the general category of putting pressure on the testicles, a method from Ancient India, which was thought to cause sperm to be ejaculated into the bladder. Coitus reservatus is a method from Hindu medicine in which the male totally avoids ejaculation. In the United States in the 19th century, some groups used this method. For example, some of the Shaker communities, whose members believed in free love and generally opposed marriage, used this method.
