What are the disadvantages of Withdrawal?
- Couples often want to keep thrusting.They don't want to stop when it is time to pull out.
- The man may worry: "Will I withdraw in time?" And the woman may worry: "Will he withdraw in time?" This concern may decrease their enjoyment of intercourse.
- Withdrawal provides poor or no protection against sexually transmitted infections, including HIV (the AIDS virus).
- Sperm, in small numbers, may be present in the preejaculatory fluid, or precum, that comes out of the penis before ejaculation.
- Males with sexual dysfunction such as premature ejaculation or unpredictable ejaculation may not be able to use withdrawal.
- A man's cooperation and commitment to pulling out at the right time is needed for withdrawal to work.
