Will peeing after sex reduce pregnancy?

My friend told me that peeing right after sex can help reduce the chances of getting pregnant. Is this actually true or just an old wives' tale? I need reliable information about contraception.

Peeing after sex is good for hygiene, especially for preventing UTIs, but it has no effect on preventing pregnancy. Sperm are way faster and already inside. For pregnancy prevention, you need reliable birth control methods. This is separate from general fitness, of course, but both health areas need proper info.

I've heard this a lot from friends, but does it actually work? Like, is it scientifically proven? I've always wondered if it's just a myth or if it really reduces chances. Has anyone found this to be true for themselves?

I totally get why this question comes up, there are so many myths out there. But no, peeing after sex does not prevent pregnancy. Sperm travel quickly and are not affected by urination. It's important to use proper contraceptive methods if you want to avoid pregnancy.

Beti, peeing after is good for cleanliness and for keeping yourself healthy, especially to avoid any infections. But for preventing pregnancy, it doesn't help much, as the seeds would have already found their way. You should use proper methods if you don't want a child.

Haha, if it did, contraception would be a lot simpler! But seriously, no. Urine comes from a different opening. Sperm are already in there doing their thing. It's a common misconception though. For actual pregnancy prevention, focus on proven methods, just like you'd focus on diet and exercise for real fitness results.
