It is not normal to feel sick during sex. Most likely, your nausea is unrelated to the sexual activity. If the problem persists, I would seek medical evaluation.

The withdrawal method is not a reliable way to prevent pregnancy. The literature indicates that it works about 78% of the time, as opposed to condoms which are 98% effective. Moreover, it does not provide any protection against sexually transmitted disease.
