Dr. Yvette Kratzberg answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Urine typically flushes out any sperm left in the urethral canal. During Intercourse, though, the penis will secrete fluid containing sperm as early as initial erection. You should apply a condom immediately upon erection so as not to transmit any sperm prior to ejaculation.
