A member asked:

How does the urethra get rid of sperm after your last ejaculation?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Just like last drops of urine are expelled by contraction of the bulbocavernosus muscle. Any sperm sticking to the urethral will get washed out the next time the persons uninates.
