halacha - Asher Yatzar after Seminal Emission


I've been wondering this for a while: does one say Asher Yatzar after he ejaculates (whether in the context of permissible relations, or any other cases)?


I ask this because some Rishonim seem to understand one function of seminal emissions to be the body's way of removing material from it as necessary (see here for example).



Answer



This article quotes the Kaf Hachaim (OC 240:28), who says that one shouldn't say Asher Yatzar after marital relations, however, it is best to relieve oneself afterwards and when saying Asher Yatzar for that, to have in mind to include this as well. The article concludes that all the more so after a forbidden ejaculation one should not say Asher Yatzar.
