coitus interruptus
Pulling out early
Coitus interruptus is the practice of withdrawing the penis before ejaculation during sexual intercourse, used as a method of contraception.
The Latin term literally means "interrupted intercourse." While ancient and requiring no devices, it's considerably less effective than modern birth control methods: They relied on coitus interruptus, which explains their third child.
