In the medical community, the discussion of contraceptive methods has always been a complex and diverse topic. Especially when discussing extracorporeal ejaculation, commonly known as the "extraction method", as a form of contraception, the controversy continues. This approach, while seemingly simple and feasible in some cases, is far more complex in substance and potential than it seems. Imagine a scenario in which a couple has long relied on extracorporeal ejaculation as their primary means of contraception. They may think it's a natural and harmless way without the need for medication. However, they are unaware that there are a range of risks and implications that lie behind this practice that are not fully recognized. Medical studies have shown that the contraceptive success rate of in vitro ejaculation is not as high as many people think. In fact, the failure rate of this method is much higher than that of some other more scientific and reliable contraceptive methods. In addition to the risk of contraceptive failure, long-term reliance on external ejaculation can have effects on the psychological and physical health of both couples, which are often overlooked.
1. The real effect of extracorporeal ejaculation as a means of contraception
Extracorporeal ejaculation, which involves removing the penis from the vagina before ejaculation, is an ancient method of contraception. Its core idea is to avoid semen entering the vagina, thus reducing the chances of pregnancy. However, the effectiveness of this approach has been highly debated. In fact, it is a high-risk form of contraception because prostatic fluid in semen has entered the vagina during sexual intercourse, and this fluid may contain enough sperm to cause pregnancy. In addition, the inaccuracy of ejaculation control also greatly increases the risk of failure. According to statistics, for every 100 couples who use in vitro ejaculation as a method of contraception, about 15 to 28 couples experience unintended pregnancies each year.
2. Psychological stress and emotional impact
Long-term reliance on extracorporeal ejaculation not only affects physical health, but can also cause psychological and emotional stress for both couples. This method of contraception requires the man to quickly control and interrupt orgasm, which can lead to tension and unsatisfaction in sexual life. In the long run, this stress can accumulate and affect the quality of the couple's emotional and sexual life. In addition, the uncertainty of this approach can also lead to anxiety and insecurity on both sides, fearing the possibility of contraceptive failure. This constant psychological stress can have a negative impact on the couple's overall relationship.
3. Physiological health hazards
Long-term implementation of extracorporeal ejaculation may pose a hidden danger to men's physiological health. An abrupt interruption in orgasm in men may cause discomfort in the reproductive system, such as painful ejaculation, and may even lead to long-term reproductive problems. For women, while the immediate physiological risk is relatively small, constant worry and stress can affect their overall health. In addition, because in vitro ejaculation is not effective in blocking sexually transmitted diseases, this method does not provide protection against sexual activity of an unfixed partner.
4. Exploration of alternative contraceptive methods
Considering the low reliability and potential risks of in vitro ejaculation, it is critical to explore other methods of contraception. Condoms are a simple and effective option to prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by regulating a woman's hormone levels, but they need to be used under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to this, there are long-term contraceptive methods such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive patches. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, so when choosing the right form of contraception for you, it is advisable for couples to consult with a doctor to ensure that it is both safe and effective.
