An interesting fact about this method of contraception is that it was even described in the Bible, since tens of thousands of years ago among Jews this was the main method of preventing unwanted pregnancies. This is due to the fact that people in those days realized that there is a relationship between sexual intercourse and the possibility of conceiving a child. To be more precise, the Bible presents the story of Onan, who traditionally had to continue his brother's family by marrying his wife, but every time he entered it, as it says, "poured the seed on the ground" so that she did not become pregnant .
If we talk about the use of interruption of sexual intercourse, the most common this method is in the Slavic countries, as well as in the western part of Asia, in Turkey and in Italy. However, it is worth noting that, thanks to the development of other methods of contraception, interruption of intercourse is increasingly used today. In a percentage, according to one of the studies, those who use this method in the Western countries - about 3%, but among the Slavic countries - 70%.
When interrupting sexual intercourse (which is called cotus interruptus in Latin), a man, when he feels that the moment of ejaculation is approaching, must take his penis out of the vagina, so that ejaculation does not occur either in the genital area of the partner or, even more so, that it does not occur in the vagina . As a rule, the sperm remains either on the partner, or near it.
If we talk about the effectiveness of this method, and about whether conception with the interruption of sexual intercourse is still possible or not, it is worth noting the following. As a method of preventing pregnancy, interruption of sexual intercourse can be called the most unreliable way. Of course, that you need to take into account a number of features of the female body. So, it is well known that in the cycle of each woman (and the cycle is a period from one menstruation to another) there are three periods: conditional infertility, a fetal period and a period of absolute sterility. You understand that if the act is interrupted during the infertility period, the woman will not become pregnant. But in the period of fetal, the effectiveness will be low, and here it is for sure that it is possible to conceive when interrupting sexual intercourse, and this possibility will be at least 70%. So, in comparison with other contraceptive methods, the risk will be at the interruption of sexual intercourse the highest.
Conception of the child is a process that depends on many factors, however, it is worth remembering that if there is a fertile period for the cycle, in order to become pregnant, it will be enough even for 1 spermatozoon. So, when using this method, you can say that the probability of not becoming pregnant will be just a little bit smaller than with a sexual act completed to the end.
A penis in a man, when he is in an erect condition, gives off a lubricant called smegma. Just smegma and sperm are the main components of sperm. When ejaculation occurs, the concentration of spermatozoa increases millions of times. However, there may be enough of that concentration, which is even before the moment of ejaculation, that the spermatozoa, which are already a lot in this secretory fluid, get into the vagina, and as they move with incredible speed, the eggs reach instantly. So if a woman of the day, in which she can conceive, she, most likely, still becomes pregnant. It will not help in this situation any folk remedies (such, for example, as washing with vinegar or lemon juice of the vagina), which though are useless, but for some reason women are used.
In addition, a high percentage of unreliability during interruption can also be argued for other reasons, among which, first of all, is that not always a man can catch the beginning of ejaculation with precision. Similarly, if the sexual act is repeated, then the sperm appears in the vagina, which remained in the urethra after the previous act.
If we talk about the positive aspects of this method, we can distinguish among them that it is free, and is not associated with the use of various contraceptive preparations, which are also hormonal. In addition, many like direct contact of bodies, as you can often hear from many men that for them intimacy in a condom does not seem better than they would have kissed in a gas mask.
If we talk about aspects of negative, then they can be counted, of course, much more than positive. In addition to the high probability of conception with the interruption of sexual intercourse, there are other reasons why it is not desirable to use this method.
Since it is necessary to watch closely when the moment of ejaculation can begin, most men have to experience considerable discomfort. In addition, this provokes the appearance of a malfunction in the system that regulates orgasms and ejaculations, which in turn becomes a favorable basis for the development of inflammatory diseases. A large percentage of adherents of this method and those men who appear with time problems with potency, up to absolute impotence. Negative influence this method also has on the health of women in the form of various sexual dysfunctions, depressive states, etc.
It is possible to classify disadvantages by the fact that satisfaction partners are not fully satisfied. Most, probably, couples know that full satisfaction can be called the orgasm that partners receive at the same time, since the sensations with it are much more acute than with an orgasm separate. It is clear that when interrupting to ensure that the orgasm was simultaneous, it will not work.
And if this method is practiced by a couple for a long time, it can cause that, because before orgasm they can not relax, there can be a constant sexual dissatisfaction, which will undoubtedly affect the couple's relationship.
