   • 2002, Colin Jones, The Great Nation, Penguin 2003, p. 351:

     Yet in the event, population continued to grow – even though signs began to appear that coitus interruptus was beginning to be used systematically to reduce family size.

   • 2003 October 7, Lucy Atkins, “Men on the pill? Yeah, right”, in The Guardian‎:
