Family Planning Plus

If ejaculation occurred in the rectum/anus and not in the vagina, then there is no chance of pregnancy. The rectum and vagina are two separate (for lack of a better word) “tubes”. The intestinal tract begins with the mouth, down the esophagus, and into the stomach.  From the stomach, broken down food travels through the small and large intestines, into the rectum, and out of the anus. The vagina is like a sock. At one end is the opening (to the outside of the body), and the “toe” end is connected to the cervix. The cervix serves as the opening to the uterus. The cervix is the structure that has to dialate, or open up to allow a baby to be born. If semen is ejaculated in the rectum, it stays in the rectum. It cannot travel into the vagina.
