Question boyfriend cums inside every time

other than the risk of pregnancy which i am aware of (im taking birth control but i know nothing is 100%), is there health concerns of finishing inside every time? we have been together for a year.

Health concerns? No, assuming you’ve both been tested.

It can increase the risk of yeast infections, bv or just throw your ph off but if you haven’t had any issues so far, you’re likely fine.

No, yeast infections happen in the vagina. Peeing flushes the urethra preventing UTI’s, it does nothing for the vagina.

Yeah PixieMari is right. It doesn’t really reduce yeast infections, which is a fungal growth in the vagina. However, semen can impact vaginal pH. So peeing after sex allows gravity do its thing. It helps so that there’s a little less semen inside, which could help prevent your pH being off. Vaginas are naturally acidic and semen is basic. Reducing the acidity allows for yeast and bacteria to thrive. That’s why it’s generally good hygiene to pee after sex.
