00:00 Withdrawal is for the bank.
00:02 Pulling out is for heartbreak, but never ever for sex.
00:06 I'm Anna and this is Sex and Sensibilities.
00:09 Withdrawal, pulling out or pulling out the penis before having an orgasm,
00:24 is well, besh, deluxe.
00:27 I call it "Bahala na Method".
00:29 Why?
00:30 According to Planned Parenthood,
00:32 1 in 5 couples in the US
00:35 have their penis pulled out because of the withdrawal method every year.
00:38 First of all, before an orgasm is pulled out,
00:43 there can be a pre-ejaculation fluid that has already spurt.
00:49 And the sperm is the one that pulls out.
00:51 Even if it's pulled out in your outer genital area,
00:54 you can still have your penis pulled out
00:55 because sperm can make its way into the vagina.
00:59 Second, you need to have a strong trust in your partner.
01:02 You don't want to have an intense,
01:05 and the most delicious sex that you have to pull out.
01:08 And third, if you don't use a condom,
01:11 you can be found out that it's not planned,
01:13 or you can have a sexually transmitted infection or STI.
01:18 So withdrawal method is not reliable.
01:20 If you want to be safe, use modern forms of contraception.
01:24 Sex is hotter, more delicious, and more pleasurable
01:28 if you don't have to think that you might get pregnant
01:31 when there's still no time or you might have a sexually transmitted infection.
