No Big Deal: Semen Pours Out After Intercourse

I so much need your help. I am 25yrs of age; I got married earlier in the year.

There is this problem I am having concerning my health that I wish to share with you. Any time I have sex with my husband, the sperm pours out of me immediately.

Please, I want to know what is wrong with me. I am so frustrated as I am yet to conceived since we married. Thanks Ngozi

Ngozi Without much elaboration from you, I can infer from experience from clinical interactions that your main source of worry lies in the fact that you think that this complaint of yours about how “the sperm pours out…. immediately” after sex is most likely the reason why you are yet to conceived since your marriage early this year.

Although, you did not mention per se that you are yet to conceive; the frustration is inferable from the tone of your mail. On this, I should add that your complaint is not peculiar; it’s a recurrent one coming from women concerned about their fertility status or those desiring pregnancy. It is this set of women who see this occurrence of semen flowing back out of the vagina after sex as a proof of something’s gone wrong.

As for the validity of this occurrence as a proof of something gone wrong; I beg to differ. I honestly think nothing is wrong with this development in women generally speaking; indeed, this occurs in all women after sexual intercourse in different degrees. And the reason for this is obvious to a discerning mind.

The relevant notes here are that: the semen is deposited into the vagina during sexual intercourse; but the vagina really is a collapsible cylindrical tube that readily fits different sizes of turgid penis; it is not cock-tight cylinder and it is directed upward and backward in the lying or erect woman.

Hence, when sperm is deposited into the vagina, during sexual intercourse with the woman in lying position; with attempts to stand upright, the semen will definitely flow back or downward depending on the maintained position. When this occurred, it is definitely normal and it does not necessarily mean that it will compromise the ability to get pregnant.

The truth is that getting pregnant is more dependent on the timing of sexual intercourse during the menstrual cycle of the woman. Usually, if this happened during ‘closed-up to ovulation or at ovulation’, the entrance to the womb, the cervix, readily open to allow the shooting semen to enter the womb. With this development ,the process of fertilization can then take place.
