What is Withdrawal Method?
 

Withdrawal/pull out method is a natural contraception technique. It's not an effective way of preventing pregnancy, but it's still better than no contraception at all. 

In this method, the man pulls out his penis right before he is about to ejaculate. This prevents the flow of sperm in the vagina. The men must not ejaculate the fluids near the pelvic region of the women.

 

It is advised to pee before having sex so as to clear any earlier sperms already present in urethra. Also, use a spermicide just to be more safe as men may pre-ejaculate (also called pre-cum) and this fluid may have sperms from your last intercourse.
