  7. Withdrawal • AKA the pull out method • Removing the penis from the vagina before ejaculation • Not a method recommended for teens • High risk of pregnancy • Susceptible to STDs

  8. Emergency Contraceptives • Also known as emergency birth control, backup birth control, the morning after pill, and by the brand names • Must be taken within 120 hours (5 days) after unprotected intercourse • The sooner, the better • Available OTC to women and men over 17 • Teens under 17 can still get EC with a prescription.
