Introduction
In general, occasional ejaculation outside the vagina usually has little impact on either partner. However, frequent practice of withdrawal method may have adverse effects and carries a higher risk of unintended pregnancy. To avoid potential negative consequences, it is recommended that couples use appropriate contraceptive methods during sexual intercourse, such as condoms or intrauterine devices (IUDs).

Generally, if ejaculation outside the vagina occurs only occasionally, it usually has little impact on either partner. However, frequent practice may have negative effects and carries a higher risk of unintended pregnancy. The details are as follows:

Coitus interruptus refers to the man withdrawing the penis from the woman's vagina before ejaculation during sexual intercourse and ejaculating outside the body. If practiced only occasionally and without causing significant psychological stress for either partner, it typically does not lead to obvious adverse physical effects.

However, although coitus interruptus can be used as a contraceptive method, its failure rate is relatively high. This is because small amounts of semen containing sperm may be released before full ejaculation, which can result in unintended pregnancy. Moreover, long-term or frequent use of this method may cause psychological stress and anxiety in men, potentially affecting the quality and satisfaction of sexual life.

To avoid these potential negative effects, couples are advised to use reliable contraceptive methods during sexual activity, such as condoms or intrauterine devices (IUDs), to ensure both partners' physical health and sexual well-being.
