it seems it can happen.

the following is a link from allexperts, where urologist dr. goldstein answers such a question.
scroll down to where it says,

"Thank you for the prompt response. What would probably happen if I ejaculated with a catheter in place (it is a 14F Foley)?..."

I can't decide if I should laugh, or puke all over the keyboard. I feel so conflicted.

I'd say yes!

I mean think about it, even if there is a foley in, you can still leak urine around it. So why not ejaculate? He should clean himself up a bit when he is done though

I'm not sure if this counts as the study was done during testing but it says it's possible (I think)
