What is the “pull out method”?
The “pull out or withdrawal method” is when a couple is having sexual intercourse and the male is not using a condom, but pulling out his penis from the vagina when he feels that he is going to ejaculate. This is a very unsafe method of sexual intercourse because it can lead to unwanted pregnancy and the development of STI/HIV.

Risks of Vaginal and Anal sex
Having vaginal or anal sex without a condom contains many risks. As previously stated it can lead to unwanted pregnancy or the contraction of STD/HIV. Anal sex is at more of a risk for HIV because there can be tearing of the skin and the infection can enter into the skin and attack the cells that are around that site. When a tear occurs white blood cells rush over to that are to prevent illness and disease. There is an increase of cells in that area, but if the male is HIV positive then the infection will enter the tear and attack those cells first. This then causes an imbalance of white blood cells and makes it harder for the body to fight off the infection.

Do I Need A Condom If I Use a Contraceptive?
Yes. Contraceptives only protect against pregnancy and even then most are not full proof. A condom usage in sex will prevent both pregnancy and the transmission of STI’s. A combination of condom and contraceptive is the best to maximize prevention and effectiveness of safe sex.
