The channel for sperm to enter the urethra and for urine to enter the urethra come together inside the prostate at the "verumontanum". It is like a T-intersection in a highway. The sperm, propelled by smooth muscles along the ejaculatory duct, can travel down toward the end of the penis and out (the right way) or they can go up into the bladder (the wrong way).
In order to prevent sperm from travelling the wrong way - into the bladder - the bladder neck automatically clamps down and prevents semen from entering into the bladder. After your ejaculation, the bladder neck will slowly release over several minutes. This gives you a temporary sensation of what it would be like to have an enlarged prostate - which some day you will probably have.
Of note, some people have trouble with this reflex and ejaculate partly into the bladder - it's called retrograde ejactulation. It makes cleanup easier, but it is a cause of infertility. It comes out when you pee.

And my mountain doesn't dance.
What the heck does "water don't jump" mean?
