How can I prevent a bloodline ability from being passed into competing clans?

The sharingan is an ability that is passed down the Uchiha family bloodline and grants several abilities to its user. It can copy the techniques of an opponent perfectly, allowing the user to steal their abilities. It can also predict the movements of a person, providing a limited form of reading the future. Finally, it can see through illusions, although the success of this would depend on the user's skill.
I am Madara Uchiha of the Uchiha clan, one of the oldest families in the village of Incognito. The sharingan has made us one of the most powerful and influential families not just in the village but the entire country. It is passed down the male genetic line and has secured our dominance. I would like to keep this ability exclusive to our gene pool, and must constantly fight against the greatest threat to our power: horny young teenagers.
It is difficult to prevent teens and other young people from "spreading their royal oats" and passing our abilities to competing clans. Expecting them to practice abstinence is like expecting a silly childhood hobby such as comic books to make successful transitions into movies: it's too unrealistic, and I would be laughed at for trying. Encouraging safe sex is unreliable at best in the pre-modern world. Condoms break easily, and people rarely use them when caught in the heat of the moment. Other clans competing against us would love to have the sharingan in their possession, and would aim to encourage this and actively seduce our members.
How can I protect our birthright and prevent this from happening?

Preventing bastards in noble families is something many books were written about. And there is no way to judge answers better or worse now.

Alright, listen up son. If you knock up a girl from a rival clan, I'm going to have to castrate you. Nothing personal, but it is important to maintain the power of the clan.
On the other hand, check out these sex slaves we just got. If you start getting any urges, they are right here in this tent...
Editors note: this doubles as a way to get more male descendants. Female children of the sex slaves.....don't have to survive.

You can forcibly "adopt" all children with your bloodline ability into your clan. Make a very big deal that only your clan can teach how to use your ability safely. One step of that is spreading rumors of fatal training accidents that could have been prevented by proper supervision.
Any that you cannot adopt due to political reasons all seem to die from such a "training accident", further enforcing your point.
There is no need for the newly adopted bastards to get a high position, unless they actually get there by proper merit. Being adopted into the clan should be honor enough. what you do with the mother depends on how generous you are feeling.

The power only manifests if those that control the power take a certain substance. This substance, however, also makes them temporarily sterile. They will need to opt-out of their magic temporarily if they want to father offspring, and they won't do this to be rebellious.
Alternatively, you can swap the magic/sterility opt-in for an opt-out - a drug that will suppress the magic for a few weeks, but also restores fertility.

You could make it recessive, so that even if it was spread, there would need to be two copies for it to manifest itself in a person.
