Page 4 of 4 UNRELIABLE METHODS - Coitus interruptus is the withdrawal of the penis from the vagina prior to ejaculation. Some semen frequently escapes prior to full withdrawal, enough to cause a pregnancy.
- Douching shortly after sex is ineffective because sperm can make their way past the Cervix within 90 seconds after ejaculation.
- Breastfeeding. Despite the myths, women who are breastfeeding can become pregnant.
