    Question

    i'm using a pull out method. is there a chance that i will feel that something is coming out (sperm cells) even though i haven't finished yet (ejaculation)?

    Answer

    Pulling out before you ejaculate is NOT a method of birth control and will not prevent sexually transmitted infection. The entire time a penis is erect it "leaks" a little ejaculate fluid which contains sperm. Best to use a condom!
