Definition:

Coitus Interruptus is a contraceptive method that involves the withdrawal of the penis from the vagina just before ejaculation during sexual intercourse.

Key Points:

• Withdrawal Method: Coitus Interruptus is also known as the withdrawal method or “pulling out”.
• Timing: The male partner removes the penis from the vagina prior to ejaculation, preventing sperm from entering the cervix.
• No Protection: This method offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or certain diseases.
• Effectiveness: The efficiency of Coitus Interruptus as a contraceptive method varies and heavily relies on the self-control and accuracy of the male partner.
• Risks: Precum, which can contain sperm, may be released before ejaculation, increasing the risk of pregnancy. Additionally, the method does not protect against STIs.
