Pulling Out: Protection or Not

9:05 PM

Some guys think that pulling out before they come is an effective way of avoiding passing on or getting HIV. However, this is NOT a reliable way to reduce the risk of sex without condoms. This is because:
  • Pre-cum (the fluid that leaks from the tip of the penis during stimulation) can also contain HIV and can pass it on long before anyone has come.
  • The guy doing the screwing may accidentally come before he has a chance to withdraw.
  • A casual hook-up may not honor an agreement to pull out before he comes.
  • If you're screwing without condoms, just because the top doesn't come, that doesn't mean that the bottom couldn't pass on HIV if he's HIV-positive. HIV can pass from the bottom's anus into the top's cock via the opening at the tip of the cock or through the skin of the cock in tiny abrasions cause by friction during sex.
