If you’re having a condomless sex, you are exposing yourself, or increasing the risk because of exposure to catching certain STDs or STIs whichever way you want to use the lingo. Withdrawal does not increase … it increases your chances of being exposed to everything basically. That’s not good for any kind of safer sex. But for contraception reasons, is withdrawal method really effective or should you avoid it?
Join relationship expert Reid Mihalko from ReidAboutSex.com and Cathy Vartuli from TheIntimacyDojo.com as they talk about the withdrawal method.
Cathy: Another viewer asked, “Hey, Reid. I wanted to know what you thought about the withdrawal method, or the pullout method. Do you think that’s effective, or should people avoid it?” That’s Reid Mihalko from ReidAboutSex.com.
Reid: That is an effective opening with Cathy Vartuli from TheIntimacyDojo.com.
Cathy: Reid, what do you think of the withdrawal method?
Reid: This is interesting, geek alert. We have some interesting research about withdrawal methods. I don’t have the research in front of me.
Cathy: Are you talking about contraceptive or STI?
Reid: What’s the question?
Cathy: Well, he didn’t specify.
Reid: This is strictly for contraception reasons. Just because you pullout, doesn’t mean, “Tag, not it.” It’s not like that. Whenever you’re using withdrawal and we’re going to assume there’s not a condom. Because that’s the point of withdrawal.
If you’re having a condomless sex, you are exposing yourself, or increasing the risk because of exposure to catching certain STDs or STIs whichever way you want to use the lingo. Withdrawal does not increase … it increases your chances of being exposed to everything basically. That’s not good for any kind of safer sex.
However, what we do know now, we have some research. Withdrawal is actually pretty high up there, I don’t have the percentage rate.
Cathy: It’s not as good as using condoms?
Reid: It’s almost as good as using condoms.
Cathy: If you have the control.
Reid: If you have the control. Obviously, if you ejaculate inside somebody and then withdraw, that’s not withdrawal. You have withdrawn, but you have missed the whole point of the activity. What’s interesting though is … or what as geek, you need to understand is …
If we’re having a condomless sex, and then I pullout before I ejaculate. and hen I’m youthful enough to not loosen my boner, or get it back really quickly and then we have intercourse again. The second time we have intercourse, there is semen now in my urethra.
Withdrawal, basically only works once. Because the second time you’re having sex, the chances of you releasing sperm into someone’s vagina is higher now because there’s actually sperm in your urethra. Again, we have some interesting research on it. I’m not advocating that you use it as a means of contraceptive.
Cathy: Doesn’t the pre-cum have sperm in it? No? Okay.
Reid: Pretty much not. That’s why this was so interesting as a study.
Cathy: Yeah, I didn’t read the study.
Reid: If I have intercourse with you, or ejaculate, or even if I just have a handjob and ejaculate. Then have intercourse with you without a condom, chances are now there is sperm in my urethra, so the pre-cum then has sperm.
Again, I just want to share the information. I’ll try to find the link to the study and put it in the description, but that was really interesting to find out and learn. I’m not advocating that at all.
Cathy: Do not send him any child support bills for him to say this.
Reid: Why did you even tell them that? We have to cut that. Unlisten to that, stop. No, but leave a comment first then go. Thank you.
