The current running theory is that it’s evolution.

Male penis is shaped like a scoop, to pull out competitor sperm during sex. Meaning, there is a selection pressure to stop and pull out after sex. I.e. those who didn’t had less chance of impregnating, and over time were bred out of the gene pool. It’s called [Coolidge Effect](https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-3-319-47829-6_352-1).
