Deep dives
Withdrawal as a method of birth control
Withdrawal, where a man pulls out before ejaculating, is becoming more common among unmarried men. A study found that around 20 out of 100 couples using withdrawal for a year would still get pregnant. The presence of pre-ejaculate, which may contain sperm, is often blamed for this. However, studies show that only about one-third of men have enough active sperm in their pre-ejaculate to cause pregnancy. While withdrawal is not foolproof, it can be almost as effective as using condoms when used perfectly.
