Withdrawal, as a method of contraception, can be effective in preventing pregnancy if done correctly, but it is not considered highly reliable. The effectiveness largely depends on the male partner's ability to withdraw before ejaculation and the absence of pre-ejaculate fluid, which can contain sperm. Studies suggest that typical use results in a failure rate of about 20%, making it less reliable than other contraceptive methods. Therefore, while it can work for some, it is not a foolproof option.
