Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
If penetration has occurred, then ritual washing (ghusl) is required, regardless of whether semen has been released or not. The act of intercourse alone is sufficient to establish the state of ritual impurity (janabah) and the obligation to perform ghusl.
May you be successful in all good.
