Modern medicine and pharmacology offersa huge number of various contraceptives - rings, suppositories, condoms, birth control pills. Almost any woman can choose the contraceptive that suits her. However, interrupted sexual intercourse is still one of the most common means of protection against unwanted pregnancy. Why is it so popular? It can be explained by various reasons. These reasons include:

• Availability of this method

In order to use this methodprotection, absolutely no preparation is needed, not even a trip to the pharmacy. In addition, almost everyone is familiar with a situation in which the desire is so great that you don’t want to stop just because you don’t have contraception. This is where interrupted intercourse comes to the aid of a couple – after all, it is a method that, although not very reliable, still significantly reduces the chance of unwanted pregnancy.

• Sensitive barrier

Many couples explain their choice in this waymeans of protection in that in this way natural sensations are preserved during sexual intercourse. And the use of any other barrier means of contraception significantly reduces the naturalness and intensity of sensations during sexual intercourse.

• Absence of contraindications

This factor is also often a plus inthe use of interrupted sexual intercourse. For example, the insertion of an intrauterine device often leads to an increase in the duration of menstruation, which becomes much more abundant and painful, and sometimes even uterine bleeding can occur. Taking hormonal drugs is also not so safe. More precisely, hormonal contraceptive pills will not cause any harm to the female body only if they are prescribed by a doctor. And in order for the doctor to understand which hormonal contraceptive is suitable for a particular woman, he needs to see the results of her blood test for hormone levels. Agree - few women approach the issue of choosing contraceptive drugs so carefully.

• Understanding the mode of action

The peculiarity of the human psyche is such that itis afraid of everything that he does not understand. And, despite the fact that now there is a lot of information available about how this or that method of protection works. However, there are still many people for whom the effect of hormonal pills is completely incomprehensible, and the intrauterine device seems like some kind of peculiar instrument of the Inquisition. That is why these people prefer to use interrupted sexual intercourse, the mechanism of action of which is extremely clear and understandable to them.

Disadvantages of interrupted intercourse

However, doctors say that the interruptedthere are a number of quite significant disadvantages of coitus interruptus. And all these disadvantages eloquently testify to the fact that this method of contraception is very far from ideal, or even simply reliable. The disadvantages of coitus interruptus include:

• High risk of pregnancy

Contrary to popular belief,the probability that pregnancy will still occur is very high. Doctors believe that the absence of pregnancy in a married couple who have been using the interrupted sexual intercourse method for a year indicates a potential possibility of infertility. This is explained very simply - viable spermatozoa are contained not only in the sperm itself, but also in the lubricant that is secreted by the man from the moment of arousal. And this only means that the penetration of spermatozoa into the uterus, and then into the fallopian tubes, is possible even without ejaculation into the woman's vagina.

• Lack of protection from sexually transmitted infections

Remember also that interrupted sexual intercoursethe act is in no way able to protect you from sexually transmitted infections. This fact does not make sense, and there is no need to explain it, because it is obvious - during such sexual intercourse there is direct contact between the mucous membrane of the vagina and the penis. Of course, this information is not relevant for stable, established couples who are confident in each other's health. But everyone else needs to remember this nuance. You should not risk your health in vain.

• Violation of the sexual function of men

Regular and long-term useinterrupted sexual intercourse can have the most negative impact on the sexual function of men. Firstly, a man must constantly keep all his emotions and sensations under control in order not to miss the moment of ejaculation. As a result, sexual intercourse will cease to bring a man full pleasure, he will have various psychological problems. In addition, according to numerous observations of gynecologists, approximately 70% of men who have been protected by interrupted sexual intercourse for a year or more sooner or later develop such an unpleasant disease as prostatitis. In addition, very often the main cause of male infertility is precisely such a method of contraception as interrupted sexual intercourse. Many experts rightly believe that interrupted sexual intercourse results in certain pathological changes in the male genitals. And the longer a man practices interrupted sexual intercourse, the more the blood vessels of his genitals lose tone. It is this reason that initially leads to a deterioration in a man's erection. If after the first alarming symptoms the couple does not change the method of contraception, and the man continues to practice interrupted intercourse, pathological changes in the genitals will continue. These pathological changes affect the posterior urethra, the seminal tubercle, and the prostate gland. And a very important role in the course of such a pathological process is played by the fact that the cavernous bodies are not fully released during ejaculation. And this disrupts certain signals in the brain center of the man, responsible for arousal, erection and ejaculation. And as a result, the man first develops premature ejaculation, and then impotence. However, in the early stages, this process is almost completely reversible. In order to get rid of existing problems, as well as to prevent the situation from worsening and other complications from developing, a man must comply with two main conditions:

• Stop interrupted sexual intercourse as a method of contraception.
• He will seek help from a urologist.

This point is a bit more complicated.Many men are very sensitive to everything that concerns their sexual health. As a result, a man is embarrassed not only to seek help from a doctor, but also to simply talk about it. It is easier for a man to pretend that such a problem simply does not exist than to admit to himself first of all that he needs medical help. And here a lot depends on the woman - she must show maximum restraint, tact, understanding and willingness to help. The only thing you should not do is to feel sorry for a man. Pity is also a powerful blow to his pride. If we briefly summarize all of the above, it becomes clear that the method of contraception by using interrupted intercourse will remain quite popular and in demand for a very long time, mainly due to its ease of use and convenience. However, despite all the convenience, this method of contraception is not very reliable, and is completely dangerous if we are talking about casual sex. That is why interrupted intercourse can only be used in those couples who have been together for quite a long time. We recommend reading:
