The real risks of withdrawal method?

Ok, so, I know it’s supposedly an ineffective method but is it more ineffective if the man has ejaculated already that ?day or ?few hours before as there are speem there already that may leak out?

So if a man hasn’t ejaculated that day already then it’s less risky? Or can sperm make their way out early 🤷‍♀️🤔
Sorry !

Does he want children?

I'm sporting a lovely pregnancy bump as a result of this. Sperm Cells can leak into the precum, so it doesn't matter if he has already spunked that day or not. I'd research the method better than asking strangers on the internet there are a lot of good, educational resources out there. Your past education shouldn't be a barrier.

I'd only use the method if you don't mind the risk of getting pregnant, and if he is disciplined enough to withdraw well before climax and finish himself off. If he thinks he can withdraw at the last second then he's an idiot.

We got pregnant literally instantly when we started casually trying, but have now been using the withdrawal method for years (I know...) and never had as much as a little scare. Not claiming any scientific facts from that just passing on anecdotal experience Grin

If the man correctly withdraws it’s fairly effective but a lot of men don’t do this... They leave it in till the very last minute and a bit ends up going inside or very close to the vagina when they do pull out so it drips down. Sorry for my grim explanation Grin.

I think it works quite successfully for some couples. We used natural family planning, on non fertile days we added withdrawal in and fertile days avoidance or condoms. We ended up with child number two a bit sooner than we wanted Grin
