A member asked:

How can i remove semen from my vagina after sex to prevent pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cannot: Once seminal fluid containing sperm enters a woman's vagina, it is not possible to remove all the sperm to reliably prevent pregnancy. The sperm enters a woman's cervical mucus very quickly (within moments), and removing it cannot be done. Use some other method of birth control.
