In the continuation of this baraita R. Meir recommends coitus interruptus, an opinion rejected by the sages.

The phrase “Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah” originates in a baraita that reflects the ancient stratum of the sages’ philosophy: “The term ‘patriarchs’ is applied only to three, and the term ‘matriarchs’ only to four” (BT Berakhot 16b).
