Q: Good morning Doctor, I would like to find out how do you keep the vagina clean from sperm after intercourse? I got married a virgin so it’s been embarrassing for me to ask anyone this question. The sperm does not come out all at once after intercourse, and becomes smelly as days go by as it comes out in bits. Please help.

A: Congratulations on your wedding and marriage…and don’t be embarrassed to ask. I’m here to answer your supposedly embarrassing questions! 😀 Welcome to a new world.

The sperm, after sexual intercourse travels a loooooong way…trust me, you would not want to wash all the way there. When a man ejaculates, the initial force of that pushes some of the semen a significant way into the vagina. The rest of it flows back. Some sperm cells are retained at the back of the vagina, some make it all…
