What is coitus interruptus and its disadvantages?

A full-fledged sexual intercourse, which takes place by mutual consent of the partners, brings pleasure to both of them. Therefore, at first glance, it seems strange that its interruption is practiced. An interrupted act may be the result of suddenly changing circumstances (for example, with the unexpected appearance of witnesses), but more often it acts as a "folk" way to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

The process of coitus interruption

In fact, the process of interrupting a sexual act looks as simple as possible. Since conception requires a "meeting" of the sperm and the egg, the essence of the method is to prevent it.

Shortly before the moment of ejaculation, the man must remove the penis from the partner's vagina.

In this way, he tries to prevent the penetration of seminal fluid into the female genital tract - that is, to avoid unwanted pregnancy. If ejaculation nevertheless happened before the removal of the man's penis from the woman's vagina, due to the fact that he could not stop in time, or ejaculation occurred earlier than he expected, it is recommended to use a remedy such as emergency hormonal contraception or resort to an urgent installation of an intrauterine device .

Effectiveness of coitus interruptus

People of different ages, social status and education have been practicing intercourse interruption as a method of contraception for generations. Its popularity is due to a number of advantages, including:

• Accessibility. It is far from always that partners have the opportunity to prudently prepare modern contraceptives. If, under the influence of passion and emotions, an unprotected sexual intercourse has begun, while the girl does not use oral contraception and there is no condom at hand, you can reduce the likelihood of conception only by interrupting the process before ejaculation;
• Ensuring the completeness of sensations. The use of a condom, although effective, is, according to many couples, significantly reduces the quality of sex. Women admit that they lose lubrication - and sometimes even arousal. Men talk about a significant decrease in penis sensitivity in a condom. Even ultra-thin latex products do not solve these problems. Incomplete contact is devoid of these shortcomings and provides both partners with vivid and unforgettable sensations;
• Economy is simple. Unlike any modern methods of contraception, PPA does not require absolutely no financial costs;
• Conditional safety - hormonal contraceptives can lead to an increase in a woman's body weight, negatively affect the functioning of the ovaries (their work can be restored over a long time after discontinuation of the drug), other side effects are often manifested. The situation is similar with the introduction of an intrauterine device. Women often refuse such methods of contraception due to health concerns.

Incomplete sexual intercourse is a conscious process that is under the control of partners. Some girls opt for this method of contraception because of its relatively low effectiveness - for example, if a woman secretly dreams of a child, unlike her partner.

What is harmful PPA

Official medicine does not recognize this method of contraception. In world practice, there is no unambiguous opinion about the impact of PP on the ability to become parents later. Studies show that a large number of couples who practiced intercourse interruption for several years successfully achieved conception when switching to a full-fledged process.

There is an opinion held by a number of reputable gynecologists and sexologists: if a couple practices incomplete contact as the only method of contraception for one year or more, while pregnancy does not occur, we can talk about the presence of serious pathologies in partners that prevent conception .

Among the obvious disadvantages of such sexual contact, the following are distinguished:

There is a popular stereotype that if ejaculation occurs outside the woman's vagina, then the likelihood of conception is excluded.

Many people do not know that pregnancy can occur as a result of a sperm from the pre-ejaculate entering the female genital tract, and the conception itself is often "delayed" in time. Therefore, an unwanted pregnancy resulting from the use of this method often causes unfounded accusations of adultery against the partner. This often leads to an unreasonable break in relations, most women in this situation terminate their pregnancy, which also negatively affects the state of the body.

Consequences of regular PPA for men

In addition to getting an infection from an infected partner or unplanned conception, if a couple regularly uses the method of interruption, then the man may face negative consequences:

• The exhaustion and loosening of the psyche of a man. The partner is faced with the need to constantly control ejaculation, forcibly transferring his own body from excitation to inhibition;
• The vascular tone of the male penis decreases. This can lead to premature ejaculation, or early impotence and sexual impotence of a man;
• With an incomplete act, the outflow of blood from the male organs slows down. As a result, small capillaries in the penis break and blood thickens in the prostate gland;
• Hyperemia of the prostate gland, which subsequently leads to the development of congestive prostatitis. Among the symptoms of the pathology, erectile dysfunction and discomfort (burning, pain during urination) can be noted.

Consequences of PPA for women

The female body can also suffer as a result of the fact that unfinished sexual intercourse is regularly practiced:

• The most difficult situation is with orgasm. Research in the field of sexology clearly demonstrates that this type of sex makes it impossible for many women to experience orgasm. It can also be noted that the consequence of the constant use of this method of contraception in women is anorgasmia and nervous breakdowns;
• A negative effect on the psycho-emotional state of the girl. Nervous strain during sex, as well as obvious discomfort experienced by a partner, lead to a deterioration in the quality of sexual life.

The complex of these consequences leads to the fact that a woman, on a subconscious level, begins to avoid sexual contact, which her body perceives as inferior.

Problems follow from this: there is no sexual arousal - at first sporadically, then, constantly, the girl ceases to enjoy sex, frigidity may develop. Incomplete intercourse as a method of contraception is not without a number of advantages. However, after weighing all the pros and cons of this method, it is recommended to opt for more modern and reliable methods to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

An unfinished act can be periodically practiced by partners who have been in a sexual relationship for a long time, absolutely confident in the absence of any sexually transmitted infections. Since the effectiveness of the method is low (about 70%), a man and a woman should take into account the likelihood of conception and be prepared for such consequences.
