In addition to taking pills, using condoms or calculating safe days, ejaculation outside the vagina is also one of the popular methods of contraception that has been applied from ancient times to the present. This is considered a way to eliminate the situation of sperm entering the cervix but still brings a feeling of sublimation and authenticity to couples. However, ejaculation outside the vagina has many potential risks, making many women wonder if it is really effective in preventing pregnancy or not? Let's find out more through the article below!
What is ejaculation outside?
Perhaps many people have heard the phrase “ejaculation outside” or “outside the vagina”, right? So what is the nature of this activity? Simply put, ejaculation outside is when, during sexual intercourse between men and women, the man does not use a condom at all when having sex with his partner.
Ejaculation outside is a type of intercourse in which ejaculation occurs outside the vagina.Instead, when they are about to reach orgasm, they will feel and remove their penis from the woman's vagina and ejaculate on any other part of the partner (belly, face, etc.). The main purpose is to help prevent fertilization, sperm cannot move into the uterus to meet the egg, thereby reducing the possibility of conception to the maximum level.
In fact, until now, withdrawal is still considered one of the safe methods of contraception that almost every couple has applied. It does not affect the health and reproductive health of both men and women like birth control pills or does not lose the real, sublime feeling like condoms.
In addition to some of the advantages mentioned above, ejaculation outside also inevitably has certain disadvantages. For example, when making love between husband and wife, ejaculation outside will significantly reduce the pleasure of both, especially when preparing to climax. An unsatisfactory sex life can lead to marital discord or, over time, can lead to a decrease in the desire for “intimacy”, especially in men.
The key point here is that if you do not use safety measures, having sex can lead to many health consequences, including infectious diseases. Only condoms are the safest, most effective and highest-performing contraceptive method available today.
Young people often choose to ejaculate outside, especially after parties, drinking or bar hopping. In Vietnam, the issue of sex education, especially about contraceptive methods, is inadequate, causing many people to have wrong perceptions. In addition, we still have prejudices when we see others buying condoms or contraceptives due to a lack of openness and low education level.
Can ejaculation outside lead to pregnancy?
Withdrawal is a method of contraception that has existed since ancient times, probably in the time when humans had not yet invented modern methods of contraception like today. This action was always accompanied by a state of anxiety about whether or not you would get pregnant.
This is a question many couples ask when ejaculating outside.

You should remember that: this is not a very safe method of contraception and in fact many families apply it but still have unwanted babies. To help readers understand better, we divide it into two cases of ejaculation outside the vagina:
- In case of direct contact: This is a type of relationship where there is only contact, caressing with hands or other tools on the outside without penetrating the vagina. Then the man reaches climax and ejaculates completely outside.
- In case of direct intercourse: Simply put, this is when the penis and vagina come into contact. After having sex as usual, when the man is close to reaching climax, he will quickly pull his penis out and ejaculate.
Experts say that if the penis only has direct contact but has not “entered” the vagina, the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy is very low. However, in the second case, the rate of sperm meeting the egg and successful fertilization is quite high.
The main reason is that during the sexual intercourse, even though ejaculation has not been officially performed, there is always a certain amount of semen leaking out from the penis of men. When excited, their bodies will secrete a clear liquid (precum) whose main function is lubrication. It can contain sperm and if unlucky, they will “find” eggs to fertilize.
This fluid is produced by a pair of pea-sized glands called Cowper's glands. These glands are located near the urethra and their main purpose is to neutralize the acid left in the urethra by urine and protect the sperm.
Although the amount of clear liquid is less than a drop, it still contains millions of sperm. These sperm are still capable of fertilization as usual and can live in a woman's vagina for up to 5 days. Therefore, if you have sex and ejaculate less than 5 days before ovulation, the possibility of conception is entirely possible.
Does ejaculation outside affect health?
Is ejaculation harmful to health is a common question of many people today. According to leading experts in this field, “coming out” too much, not being able to control the time has serious potential consequences.
May be mentioned as:
Here are some of the effects of performing withdrawal.
Men are susceptible to spermatorrhea.
To put it simply, the process of ejaculation is as follows: the male body and mind are in a state of high excitement. Before ejaculation, the penis is erect, almost reaching the peak, and hastily pulling it out will stimulate the central nervous system.
This activity, if performed too often, can disrupt the ejaculatory control system, leading to spermatorrhea. However, this is only a preliminary assessment because this study has not been conducted on a large sample size.
Easy to cause nervous breakdown
During the process of “making love”, sexual inspiration in men is controlled by the cerebral cortex. When reaching orgasm, the nerves will begin to enter a state of tension, the heart rate increases, blood pumps continuously and blood pressure increases.
If the climax is suddenly interrupted by not ejaculating into the vagina, it will have a negative impact on sexual psychology. Over time, it will cause nervous breakdown, leading to erectile dysfunction or impotence.
Not effective in preventing pregnancy
This is probably the most obvious consequence that all of us can see, right? Although the advantage of ejaculation outside is that it is simple, easy to do, suitable for those who are “lazy” to use condoms or take birth control pills, it does not bring good results.
This is not an effective method of contraception.In the case of men ejaculating outside but semen flows into the vagina, women are very likely to get pregnant because sperm is very strong and “lives long”. Even the lubricant secreted before ejaculation still contains a certain amount of sperm and it is still capable of conception.
Pleasure effects
When “lovemaking” is almost at its climax and is suddenly stopped, the feeling of satisfaction is extinguished and will not reach its maximum level. Men easily achieve a state of excitement and “peak” thanks to climax. Ejaculation outside the vagina is like reaching climax and then quickly withdrawing, this mechanism causes the central nervous system to be stimulated.
Even the most controllable men find it difficult to know when to ejaculate, especially when in such a state of pleasure. This in the long run affects the entire response process of men as well as the pleasure experience of women.
Can you imagine the situation when both of you “come”, suddenly “her” is empty and disappointed? This is one of the main reasons affecting the sex life in particular and the feelings of couples.
Risk of sexually transmitted diseases
If the contraceptive effect of the withdrawal method is about 70%, the effectiveness of preventing sexually transmitted diseases is 0. Because bacteria are not “blocked”, they can completely penetrate the body of the partner through direct friction.
In particular, the mucus of the penis and vagina also contains a large amount of bacteria. Therefore, to prevent sexually transmitted diseases such as genital warts, syphilis, gonorrhea, fungus or HIV, … it is best not to use the withdrawal method. Especially with relationships where you do not understand the other person well such as one-night stands, FWB, …
Should I combine taking birth control pills with ejaculation outside?
As the information presented above, withdrawal is not a safe method of contraception. On the contrary, this is a traditional method that can lead to a very high possibility of unwanted pregnancy. Many couples, due to lack of awareness or simply having fun, have suffered very expensive consequences.
Boyfriends should control their ejaculation well when they reach orgasm.

According to medical experts, each time a man ejaculates, he releases about 300,000 sperm into the vagina. This large amount of sperm is released mainly during the time the man reaches orgasm. However, right from the beginning of the relationship, if the man is stimulated by his partner, the penis secretes mucus (with a small amount of sperm), then conception can still occur normally.
In addition, during lovemaking, the ejaculation position is placed right next to the woman's private area, so the sperm can still move into the vagina and reach the uterus. Especially if women do not pay attention to cleaning carefully.
Besides, not all men can control the ejaculation process well while reaching orgasm. In some cases, due to too much pleasure, they cannot control themselves and cannot withdraw in time. Therefore, combining the method of taking birth control pills is a safe choice.
To be safe, women need to use the medicine according to the advice of a specialist to use the product suitable for their own health condition. Absolutely do not arbitrarily use contraceptives of unknown origin, widely distributed on the market.
