I read the other answers and the only one that made some sense was the 10-15 minutes one after sex, but you are asking during sex and the best explanation I have heard on the subject came from a sex therapist who was recommending the pretzel position for having sex, legs behind your shoulders, because it shortens the canal creating greater stimulation and a higher chance of orgasm. My thought is that would also creat a higher chance of prgnancy as well. The pillow placed properly beneath the butt would have a similar effect in shortening the canal. I would think about using both thoughts the next time you have sex.

What goes up, must come down! :) If you stand, then you would lose some of it because it would leak out. If you prop your self up with a pillow down there then it'll help the sperm stay longer and get to where they need to go! :)
However, I did read on a website, as an old wives tale, that it usually helps with pregnancy with a boy because the "boy" sperm actually move faster than the "girl" sperm...interesting little tidbit.
Now everyone else don't call me stupid becuase I said it was A WIVES TALE and I have no idea what's fact!!!

Gravity works!!! and it keeps the sperm in the vagina. When you sit up or stand up it will come out. A little clarification though, it's not the pillow under the butt during sex that works, it's afterward, just to gived the little swimmers a little help. That's how we got our firstborn, stuck that pillow under my butt and then just layed there and watched a movie, worked like a charm!

It helps only if you lay there for about 10-15 minutes after sex. It keeps you at an incline so that the sperm stays inside of you better. If you lay flat, or get up too soon, the sperm can fall out, reducing the chances of getting pregnant.

I have read and heard that if you are ttc, put a pillow under your butt (after sex) and wait 10 min. before getting up , so that the sperm can flow good and it helps keep the sperm from flowing back out of you....

If you use the pillow in the correct position, it will help to keep the sperm up high in your cervix.
