So far, I have been trying the withdrawal technique for nearly a decade. I am really sorry to put Dr G on the spot, but can you tell me how safe is the withdrawal technique when it comes to pregnancy and infection prevention? RegardsStressedThe withdrawal or the pulling out technique is a maneuver of ejaculation outside the partner’s vagina, just at the point of achieving climax. Although many men successfully avoided pregnancies with the withdrawal technique, such maneuver does not ensure the protection of sexually transmitted infections. In some men, the availability of the emergency contraception is an additional safety measure just in case the withdrawal was miss-timed.
