Interrupted intercourse is a contraceptive method that many couples use. First of all, it is popular because of its availability and free of charge. Most often, the method is used by couples whose relationships are time-tested. Many people consider PAP as a safe and effective method of contraception, but the likelihood of an unwanted pregnancy increases.
The main disadvantages of interrupted intercourse are the high probability of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
The probability of conception with PAP
Many beginners are interested in what is the likelihood of pregnancy with PAP. Reviews say that it is equal to 25% of a hundred. Particularly relevant is the problem for young men who are just learning to control their ejaculation.
For a long time there was an opinion that the probability of pregnancy with PAP is due to the fact that the pre-ejaculate contains active sperm, which are secreted along with the lubricant in a man at the time of arousal. But this myth is dispelled, since the lubricant contains a scanty amount of sperm that are not able to fertilize a woman.
However, the probability of conception with PAP is 1:25, and this is what it is associated with:
- Not every man on the eve of an approaching orgasm is able to control his own ejaculation. Despite the fact that the body gives signals and the muscles of the penis contract, not everyone is able to feel it.
- After each sexual intercourse, sperm remains in the urethral canal. If several visits are planned, then the man needs to clean the urethra well. Sperm cells remain active for up to seven days and after the first sexual intercourse, active “tadpoles” will be in the partner’s lubricant.
- Sperm remaining on the partner's genitals also carries the risk of an unwanted pregnancy, so you must take a shower before each subsequent sexual intercourse.
- Not all women know the exact timing of their ovulation, often they change. Hoping that sexual intercourse occurred on a safe day, after a few weeks you can see two stripes on the test.
What is the reason for the popularity of PAP
The high probability of conception when using PAP often does not bother couples in love until the first delay. Many continue to have sex, hoping for luck. There are several reasons why couples do not consider other methods of contraception:
- Interrupted intercourse is a free contraceptive method. Not everyone has available means for condoms, spirals, hormonal pills.
- Physiological characteristics of the body. Many women have undesirable physiological reactions to different types of contraception. For example, an allergy to latex, rejection of the intrauterine device, side effects from oral contraceptives.
- Ignorance about the dangers of PAP and the risk of pregnancy. In our country, sex education is not very developed and many young couples are simply not aware of the consequences of such protection.
- Many people prefer PAP because of the vivid sensations that cannot be experienced while in a condom.
- Many young couples, because of embarrassment and shame, do not buy contraceptives, preferring PAP. The probability of pregnancy, according to reviews, remains.
How safe is interruption
Erectile dysfunction, prostatitis are those complications that are associated with the use of PAP. The opinions of men on this subject vary, someone really notices the deterioration of health in the genital area, and someone experiences psycho-emotional overstrain due to the inability to completely relax.
The reasons why dangerous complications develop due to PAP are:
- Decreased contraction of the inguinal muscles in men. In this case, sperm thickens, blood circulation is disturbed, stagnation appears. Because of this, men develop chronic prostatitis, a weakening of erectile function.
- Damage to the nervous system in a man. It develops with the constant use of PAP. Reviews of doctors say that the inability of a man to relax during intercourse leads to a violation of ejaculation due to constant tension at a crucial moment.
Key misconceptions about PSA
There are two opinions regarding PAP. If the couple has long been protected with PAP, and there was no pregnancy at the same time, then most likely one of the partners has impaired reproductive function. The second opinion is based on a psychological belief: if a couple has programmed themselves for safe sex using PAP, then no incidents will occur.
In the scientific community, both opinions are considered delusions rather than truth. If the psychological approach did not misfire in the form of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, then PAP would become the most convenient method of contraception.
Advantages and disadvantages
Each protection method has pros and cons, including PAP. Reviews on the Internet are divided into sharply negative and positive.
Pros:
- Absolute free and affordable contraception. This is used by young couples, students.
- Intense sensations and orgasms.
- No time is spent putting on a condom, for which a spark during sexual intercourse is lost.
- Some women do not accept the use of oral contraceptives because of the high chances of recovering or knocking down the hormones in the body.
Minuses:
- PAP does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, which are very common in the modern world.
- An interrupted act does not guarantee protection against pregnancy.
- Men who practice PAP are more likely to have prostate and urogenital diseases.
Doctors opinions
When asked if it is possible to get pregnant with PAP, the doctors' reviews are unambiguous. They do not consider this a contraceptive method and treat PAP negatively for several reasons: a high probability of becoming pregnant and the possibility of contracting an STD. All specialists especially note the fact that after several sexual intercourse the probability of pregnancy increases due to the semen in the urethra.
What is the likelihood of pregnancy with PAP? The opinions of doctors, reviews say that 5-6 days before ovulation, the probability increases several times in comparison with other days of the cycle. On ordinary days, 20 out of 100 couples will learn about the unborn baby within 10-12 months of using interrupted intercourse.
Experts recommend additional contraception on dangerous days if the main method is PAP.
As for men's health, it does not suffer with PAP. All opinions about impotence and circulatory disorders go among the townsfolk, and doctors explain male dysfunctions in a different way. Including reflux of semen into the bladder is explained by serious pathologies of the sphincter of the bladder, congenital or acquired.
Effect on the female body
Often women associate pain in the lower abdomen after sex using interrupted intercourse, but this is not true. PAP does not harm the female body. Pain can occur due to inflammatory processes in the pelvis, damage to the mucous membranes of the external and internal genital organs, erosion of the cervix, adhesions, psychological stress during intercourse, dry mucous membranes.
As you can see, many causes can cause pain of varying intensity during intercourse, and interrupted intercourse does not apply to them. The only thing that can cause discomfort in a woman is the fast and increased frictions of the partner before orgasm, which are necessary for his onset.
There is also a version that pain with PAP occurs due to psychological stress and lack of orgasm. With coition, the walls of the vagina tighten and relax during orgasm, if the woman did not have time to get pleasure, then the muscle spasm remains and causes pain.
Often, ladies who are not protected otherwise have chronic fears about an unwanted pregnancy and all other consequences. This does not completely relax and confuses the mood of both a woman and a man.
The technique of interrupted intercourse
This section will be especially useful for adolescents and people using PAP for the first time. There are several preparatory steps that will help to avoid an unwanted pregnancy with PAP.
At the very beginning of sexual activity, it is not worth using interrupted sexual intercourse, since the process of ejaculation is sometimes beyond control. In order to learn how to stop ejaculation, you need training and the ability to listen to your body.
Ejaculation during the first experiments can happen instantly when entering the vagina. The approximation of ejaculation can be learned to identify and contain, but the process cannot be stopped. It takes time to understand where the line is between pre-ejaculation and ejaculation.
How to interrupt sexual intercourse in time
It is important for a man to understand his own body, which, before ejaculation, necessarily sends signals. Conventionally, the moment before the orgasm is called the “peak of sensations”, and for each it can be accompanied by different feelings: fullness in the lower back, a feeling of a rolling pleasant wave, strong heat in the perineum.
PPA hygiene
Hygiene before and after sex is important, especially with PAP. Reviews of women on the forums only confirm this. Since sperm can get anywhere and even into the vagina. To avoid this, women and men need to carefully wash and rinse all areas in contact with sperm. Hygiene concerns not only the body, but also bedding if sperm gets on it. It must be removed and well washed.
Opinions and reviews
Network users are divided into two camps: some are very happy with this method of contraception, others consider it extremely dangerous and meaningless. Those who are happy with PAP have tested this method with time. The main thing in this case, according to many women, is the observance of control by a man and the prevention of misfires. Women also recall the importance of calculating the days of ovulation, the most favorable for conception.
Also, many are overwhelmed by questions about PAP in ovulation. Reviews about this are most reliable in medical forums where they write that the probability of pregnancy on dangerous days is 6 out of 10.
What to do if a misfire occurs during PAP
Often on the Internet you can stumble upon topics when a girl became pregnant with PAP, reviews are advised to take emergency measures. The latter include taking hormonal tablets with large doses of hormones that prevent the chance of pregnancy one hundred percent.
Emergency hormones include Postinor, Escapel and others. They can not be used just like that, because it is a strong blow to the female body.
PAP and other methods of contraception
Girls on the network share their ways of combining other methods of contraception with PAP. The reviews say that on dangerous days, ladies whose partners use the interrupted act are reinsured with condoms or spermicidal agents, such as candles, gels, and lubricants.
It is definitely not worth using PAP on the day of ovulation. Reviews of such girls usually end with a phrase that this time “did not carry” and now the couple is expecting a baby. Also, you should not use the method during the first sex with an unfamiliar partner, since the absence of a condom is fraught with the appearance of sexually transmitted diseases.
Summary
Despite the abundance of contraceptive methods in the modern world (spirals, condoms, tablets, subcutaneous administration of hormones, tubal ligation), PAP remains one of the most popular and affordable. This is due to the fact that the method does not require financial costs.
Nevertheless, PAP should not be used during the first sex, during sexual intercourse with strangers and being in the period of ovulation. The method has many disadvantages associated mainly with a high risk of unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
If the couple decides to protect themselves in this way, then it is worth combining it with the use of other contraceptives on dangerous days. In cases where one of the partners does not get an orgasm when using PAP, it is worth paying attention to other ways to protect against pregnancy.
