# Creampie (sexual act)
**Creampie** is a slang term for a sexual act in which one partner ejaculates into another partner's vagina or anus without a condom, leading to visible seeping or dripping of semen from the orifice.[1](https://fetlife.com/kinktionary/sexual-activities/creampie-0hpr5) The word is borrowed from the dessert term "cream pie"; a French dictionary entry notes the loan from English and the image behind the formation.[2](https://www.le-dictionnaire.com/definition/creampie)
| Key fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Definition | Ejaculation inside a partner's vagina or anus without a condom, with visible semen afterward[1](https://fetlife.com/kinktionary/sexual-activities/creampie-0hpr5) |
| Origin | American porn slang of the late 1990s and early 2000s[1](https://fetlife.com/kinktionary/sexual-activities/creampie-0hpr5) |
| Pregnancy risk | Sperm entering the vagina can cause pregnancy during penis-in-vagina sex[3](https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/teens/puberty/whats-deal-erections-ejaculation-and-wet-dreams) |
| STI risk | Unprotected sex can transmit STIs; condoms reduce the risk of STIs spread by genital fluids, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia[4](https://www.cdc.gov/condom-use/index.html) |
| Condom limits | Condoms do not protect against STDs spread by skin-to-skin contact, such as genital herpes or syphilis[4](https://www.cdc.gov/condom-use/index.html) |
| After unprotected sex | A copper IUD inserted within 5 days can reduce pregnancy risk from a sex act by approximately 99%; emergency contraceptive pills are also options[5](https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/clinical-primary.htm) |
## Term and usage
The term comes from American pornographic slang of the late 1990s and early 2000s.[1](https://fetlife.com/kinktionary/sexual-activities/creampie-0hpr5) It has since spread into general sexual vocabulary; the French dictionary entry records it as an English loanword built on the "cream pie" image.[2](https://www.le-dictionnaire.com/definition/creampie) [Ejaculation](https://www.edgepedia.org/ejaculation) itself is the release of semen, the sperm-containing fluid that leaves the penis during orgasm, and slang terms for it include "cum" and "come".[3](https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/teens/puberty/whats-deal-erections-ejaculation-and-wet-dreams)
## Pregnancy risk
When sperm gets inside a vagina, it can cause pregnancy, which is why [Planned Parenthood](https://www.edgepedia.org/planned-parenthood) advises using birth control such as condoms during penis-in-vagina sex.[3](https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/teens/puberty/whats-deal-erections-ejaculation-and-wet-dreams) [Pre-ejaculate](https://www.edgepedia.org/pre-ejaculate), the liquid that leaves the penis during sexual excitement before ejaculation, can also contain a small amount of sperm for some people.[6](https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/glossary)
If pregnancy is not desired after unprotected sex, emergency contraception is available. A copper-containing IUD inserted within 5 days of unprotected sex can reduce pregnancy risk from a sex act by approximately 99%.[5](https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/clinical-primary.htm) Emergency contraceptive pills include ulipristal acetate, effective up to 5 days after unprotected sex, and levonorgestrel, most effective within 3 days but with some efficacy up to 5 days; both work best the sooner they are taken.[5](https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/clinical-primary.htm) [Emergency contraception](https://www.edgepedia.org/emergency-contraception) does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.[7](https://www.cdc.gov/contraception/hcp/usspr/emergency-contraception.html)
## STI risk
Sex without a condom carries a risk of sexually transmitted infections and, for vaginal sex, pregnancy. Correct and consistent condom use reduces the risk of STIs and pregnancy, and laboratory studies show latex condoms provide a barrier against even the smallest STD pathogens.[4](https://www.cdc.gov/condom-use/index.html) Condoms protect against STDs spread by genital fluids, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, and can reduce the risk of those spread by skin-to-skin contact, such as genital herpes or syphilis, though this protection is incomplete because infection may spread from areas not covered by the condom.[4](https://www.cdc.gov/condom-use/index.html) • [8](https://archive.cdc.gov/www_cdc_gov/condomeffectiveness/latex.html) If a condom is not used properly or not used every time, a single encounter with an infected partner may be enough to transmit HIV or another STD.[4](https://www.cdc.gov/condom-use/index.html)
