- The effectiveness of this method depends on the user.
- With typical use, effectiveness is about 80%.
- When used consistently and correctly in every sexual encounter it can be up to 96% effective.
Advantages

- Does not affect breastfeeding

Limitations
- It is important to note that it is possible for pre-ejaculatory fluid containing sperm to flow out during the excitement phase before the penis is withdrawn.
- Lack of ejaculatory control (or premature ejaculation) is an indication not to use withdrawal methods.
