info said...The withdrawal method is as safe as condoms? Yeah right this is asking for trouble, first try and find a man who knows all about withdrawal...Second, withdrawal is all about good timing and let me tell you that's not one of men's strongpoints. Asking a man to withdraw a la moment supreme is about the same as trying to keep the Coke in the bottle after fiercely shaking it for a while......mission impossible?

SKL said...It works to prevent pregnancy, but there are some prerequisites:
1) A married or very selective woman.
2) A discussion beforehand laying out the woman's full intention to carry any "accidental" result to term and raise him/her.
3) A man who has plenty to lose should he be hit up for child support or otherwise haunted by unintended fatherhood. (See #1 above.)
If I were married, I do believe this would be my preferred method of birth control. I hate the idea of putting unnatural chemicals and substances inside my body. Plus the body naturally rejects many of the other "methods" and none of them are 100% effective anyway.
