I understand you might feel self-conscious about after unprotected sex if it causes a smell, but it is not good practice to rinse your vagina with water, vulva is ok but not vaginas. Vaginas are self cleaning, semen is taken out with vaginal discharge.

this is false
I come around and collect it
Oh great, we have a cum fairy.

... spunk snatchers.
I can't wrap my mind around not wanting it gone as soon as possible
At that point, condoms are probably better. It's easy cleanup and you don't have to deal with semen.
Yeah, does seemen not like, impregnate people?
Sorry if you meant this as a joke because I am going to take this literally (lol) but yes semen can impregnate people with uteruses but this can be mitigated with birth control. Oral birth control pills, IUD, arm implant, depo shot, etc. I have never had a pregnancy scare or unexpected pregnancy (nulliparous). Some people are into breeding fetishes or quiverfull, but I'm more of "I'll have one kid in the future, maybe."
Hey I mean, in this guy's defense, his user name literally is WorldsDumbestMan.
That's why I was so confused that they just leave it there.
Ok so let's talk about conception briefly. You cannot physically remove the sperm from a female's reproductive parts (fallopian tubes) after ejaculation in an attempt to prevent pregnancy. Sperm travels very fast. Douching does not prevent pregnancy and can even push sperm further into the uterus. Hormonal birth control can prevent ovulation and thicken the cervical mucus to prevent pregnancy (sperm has to enter the cervix to get to the fallopian tubes). Condoms should be self-explanatory as a physical barrier.

I just have to say: I'm really impressed with the way you're taking the time to educate folks in this thread!
I don't mean doing some deep cleaning and yeah it might not be all natural to wash out cum but it's pretty nasty if someone doesn't do that.
It's like how washing your hair with products isn't natural and can actually take away good oils and stuff, but people are still going to be put off if your hair is mad oily and smelly.
I think the disconnect here is that washing your hair usually doesn't lead to health problems the way washing a vagina does (douching even with water causes pelvic inflammatory disease, for example). It is your choice, I just wanted to provide information about vaginal health because this mentality sounds like it comes from shame rather than any health reason. It's not nasty (again, shame), vaginas do have smells like when you're on your period. Mine only smelled weird with one partner, and even then I've never had a smell for very long unless there was an actual infection going on. Smells are usually no big deal, assuming there isn't an infection. I know you mentioned it smelling "rank" before, I think you might benefit from visiting a gynecologist. Again, no shame, vaginas are a normal part of life for some of the population.

Wild url. Not even the title of the article, either.
I really don't think this person has a vagina.
