semen removal
Posted: 03-04-08 23:17pm

ok, so i feel really silly asking this, but honestly have no idea what to do about this! Embarassed

so now that im on the nuvaring, my bf (who HATES condoms) wants to try having sex without them once we start running low. (using some sort of back up like spermacide of course)

my question is... how would i get the semen out of my vagina??
should i buy a douche or something?
i was thinking about it and it totally confused me! lol
and i dont wanna leave it in there.. that would make me nervous.

any advice?? please and thank you!

Gravity does a great job of "removing" semen from the vagina. It will just flow out. Urinate after intercourse. This will help clean out any bacteria from intercourse. Douches are not recommended. Most of them remove the natural bacteria that are in the vagina and the result can be yeast infections. I hope this helps.

How does urinating after intercourse clean anything in the vagina? Urine doesn't doesn't go in or out of the vagina.

Some semen will seep out, but most will travel to its intended destination before you could remove it even if it were possible.

The urethra is tucked up under the opening of the vaginal canal. Yes, urine does help flush bacteria post intercourse. Most gyn. will tell you to urinate after sex for this reason. I have inserted hundreds of foley catheters as an RN. You can not access the urethra except through the vaginal opening.

Urine flushes bacteria away from the urethra, preventing urinary tract infections. It will not prevent vaginal infections, however it is still important to do. My urethra is not inside of my vagina, just so you know. Is it part of the vulva? Yes. But mine is not inside of my vagina and as such, is not going to remove anything from INSIDE my vagina.

As for semen, it's kinda icky but you just have to let gravity do the work. When you go to the bathroom after sex, if you squeeze your vaginal muscles you can usually get most of it out. That's some slimy wiping, I assure you! Lots of toilet paper.

It will sometimes start oozing out when you're still trying to get up and go to the bathroom so my suggestion is to have kleenex nearby and fold some up into your panties to make the trip to the toilet!

Hm. The urethra in the drawing below does not seem to be inside of the vagina!! It is part of the VULVA but it's not underneath any vagina folds as far as I can see. Neither is mine.

i figured that basically the only way was to let gravity do the work, but i wasnt sure. lol. Embarassed

when i asked my dr about UTIs and how to avoid them (cuz i had heard they were more common when sexually active) and she said the best way to avoid them is by urinating after intercourse, cuz it cleans everything out. so that makes sense to me. Confused

lol yea thats gonna be some slimy wiping. Shocked

thanks for the tips!
