Withdrawal (Sex)

A method of birth control in which the male withdraws his penis from the vagina before he ejaculates; because men often secrete a small amount of fluid that often contains sperm prior to actual ejaculation, this is not a very reliable method of birth control.

Withdrawal (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

Also known as pulling out. During sex a male takes his penis out of another person's vagina, anus or mouth before EJACULATION. This stops semen from getting inside the person. WITHDRAWL is not effective at preventing pregnancy or at preventing the spread of a STD. A man's penis can leak PRE-SEMINAL FLUID which contains SPERM, into a woman's VAGINA, without knowing it. PRE-SEMINAL FLUIDS from a man, and VAGINAL FLUIDS from a woman, can also spread STDs before a man EJACULATES.

Withdrawal (Water Science)

Water removed from a ground- or surface-water source for use.
