because it conveys semen during ejaculation
The urethra travels from the bladder through the penis to the outside. This also carries sperm from the gonads to outside.
the urethra is both in the urinary and reproductive system in males because it is where both the urine and semen pass.
The urinary system, also known as the renal system, includes the kidneys and the Urethra

Urinary and reproductive system
the reproductive system
Sperm are made in the testis, carried from the testis to the epididymis via the rete testis, where they undergo further maturation. During ejaculation, sperm travel from the epididymis via the vas deferens, which joins the duct of the seminal vesicle to form the ejaculatory duct. The ejaculatory duct passes through the prostate, and joins the urethra. Sperm exit the body via the urethra. Source: wikipedia.
From the testis' epididymus it is called the vas deferens. Through the corpus spongiosum to the outside it is called the urethra, which also channels urine from the bladder. The tiny tubelets where spermatogenesis occurs in the testis are called seminiferous tubules.
Ejaculation
Vas deferens
The movement of sperm through the male reproductive system begins in the testes where sperm are produced. From there, the sperm move through the epididymis, the vas deferens and finally through the urethra.
The male reproductive system includes the testis, urethra, and vas deferens. The testis also has a role in the endocrine system, and the urethra also functions in the urinary system.

Yes, it does. Under normal conditions, a man will only be able to urinate. But when he is sexually aroused enough, his body will 'switch gears,' so to speak, and allow him to ejaculate. But he can't have the ability to urinate and ejaculate at the same time.
