Choosing interrupted intercourse as a means of contraception, a couple should understand that the risk of conception when using it is quite high, since at the time of removal of the penis on the eve of ejaculation, sperm can enter the genital tract of a woman. The disadvantage of this method is that it does not provide protection against STDs, so it can only be practiced by couples who are confident in each other and are ready to take responsibility for the onset of pregnancy.
Interruption of intercourse as a method of contraception: is it worth the risk?
The meaning of interrupted intercourse boils down to the fact that a man removes a penis from a partner's vagina before the onset of ejaculation. Despite the simplicity and affordability of this method of contraception, it cannot be 100% effective, since even one drop of semen, inadvertently falling from the penis onto the female external genital organs, is already enough for nimble spermatozoa to end up in the vagina. In addition, after the end of such an act, it is undesirable to start a new intercourse, since a small amount of sperm may remain on the head of the penis.
Considering interruption of intercourse as a method of contraception, scientists have come to the conclusion that the probability of pregnancy when using it is about 30%, while condoms that men do not like protect from unwanted conception by about 85%. Even if the penis was removed from the vagina in a timely manner, neither the man nor the woman can know if the sperm were in the pre-seminal fluid. By the way, not every man can control himself at such a crucial moment. Therefore, when choosing an interrupted act as a method of contraception, you should think about what to do with the possible onset of pregnancy.
Does interrupted intercourse affect health?
In addition to the fact that interrupted sexual intercourse does not provide adequate protection against pregnancy, it is also capable of harming the health of both participants in the "action". The fact is that this method is absolutely not suitable for casual relationships, since contact with an infection carrier can lead to infection of a healthy partner. From this it should be concluded that only partners who fully trust each other can use this method of protection against pregnancy.
If we consider the harm of interrupting intercourse specifically for male health, it is worth noting that at the time of removal of the penis from the vagina on the eve of ejaculation, changes occur in the functioning of the prostate gland, which is expressed by its incomplete contraction. Therefore, if interrupted intercourse by a couple is practiced quite often, it is possible that over time the man will develop prostatitis. Premature ejaculation and impotence are other undesirable consequences for men's health.
As for women, in addition to the increased risk of becoming pregnant, they have a significantly increased chance of getting various diseases of the genital area, blood congestion and constant pain in the lower abdomen. And all this is due to interrupted intercourse, which cannot properly provide a woman with an orgasm, but can lead to frigidity.
