• To enhance cooperation and avoid misunderstanding, before intercourse the couple should discuss their intention to use withdrawal.
• Before intercourse, the man should urinate and wipe off the tip of his penis to remove any remaining sperm from a prior ejaculation.
• When he feels he is about to ejaculate, the man should withdraw his penis from his partner’s vagina, making sure the ejaculation occurs away from his partner’s genitalia. (The woman can help by moving away at this time.)
