Is it unhealthy to "pull back" an ejaculation?


Lately I found out I could stop an ejaculation even if it has already started - while the semen is attempting to get out, I pull it back as if I'm trying to stop my self from peeing. That causes only a tiny leakage of semen, and the rest seems to get back into my body.
After that happens, I feel a little discomfort in that general area but the "pleasure mechanism" just resets and I can masturbate again and ejaculate later.

I've done this twice, once by accident and once on purpose, and both back then and now I can't imagine this technique not being unhealthy.

As such, I have 2 questions:
1. Is this normal? Can most men do it?
2. Is it unhealthy?

Thanks!

What you did  was actually something dangerous if you decided to do it as a long term thing during your sexual relationships or when you masturbate, s you could damage your prostate, If you want to control the way you ejaculate, and having longer sexual relationships, you may prefer to try to slow down from time to time and "play" a bit withe the time. There are also lubs and condoms than contain substances that could help you to slow down and enjoy for longer. But as I said, never "pull back" an ejaculation.

All the best.
