What is the withdrawal method of contraception? What are its advantages and disadvantages?

What will be an ideal response?


Withdrawal or "pulling out", as it is commonly known, is probably the most ancient form of birth control where the man withdraws his penis from his partner's vagina before he has an orgasm and ejaculates outside the vagina. Reliance on withdrawal highlights the key issue of male responsibility in birth control.

 

Its major advantage is that it is the only last-minute method and can be used when no other form of contraception is available. But withdrawal is not very effective and has around 22 percent failure rate. In addition it requires exceptional motivation on the part of the man and it may be psychologically stressful to both him and the woman.
