If you do not want pregnancy now, it is better to move away from your partner the moment this barrier breaks.

Go to the bathroom immediately and remove the fluids. Clean your vagina, penis and anus properly.

This is ideally a mandatory step after intercourse. It helps to remove the pathogens that might have a chance to enter your system and result in several infections like the urinary tract infection.
