What
Is It?
When the man pulls his penis out of his partner's vagina before ejaculation in order to prevent pregnancy.
How
To Use
1) The
man should urinate and then wipe of the tip of his penis before
intercourse. This is done to make sure that any remaining sperm
from the previous ejaculation are removed
2) Have sex.
3) The male should withdraw his penis from his partner's vagina when he feels that he is going to ejaculate. Spermicide should be kept on hand just in case semen gets in the vagina or on the female's external genitalia.
