Pros: There s no fumbling for condoms. Unlike oral pills which can cause hormonal problems and other issues, withdrawal is completely natural. Also many couples feel that sex without condoms is more real and natural. There s also the opposition to condoms in some religions (Roman Catholics) and for them the withdrawal method is the only one allowed . Contrary to belief, oral contraceptives pills have more benefits than you thought of. Also Read - A heart attack does not mean that you stop having sex

Cons: The practice is downright risky because a lot of men have trouble knowing exactly when they are going to ejaculate. Also the sperm could land inside the vagina even after pulling out. While you can get STDs even without having sex, the chances are higher. Here are 7 STDs you can get from having unprotected sex.

How effective is it?

When used diligently, concentrating on ejaculation, the withdrawal method could kill the mood. The problem is even if you pull out in time, there could still be sperm from a previous ejaculation on your penis which could be carried to the egg via pre-ejaculation fluid! Here are 10 condom mistakes you re probably making.

The verdict

If the withdrawal method worked, scientists wouldn t have spent years and tonnes of money working on birth control methods like the pill, spermicide, condoms, etc. So be safe and use condoms which can prevent STDs as well! Be informed, know your contraceptives and stay safe.
