Pulling out just before ejaculation. Withdrawal is not an effective method, because some sperm is released before ejaculation. In addition, it is very difficult to time because the man must pull out at the most exciting moment. This method is popular among teenagers who have sex before they realize the consequences.
About as effective as the Fertility Awareness method, but a lot more nerve racking and messy.
