Default How long does sperm live?

Okay, so the other night I was smoking a little and watching Moral Oral on adult swim. Now I know that sometimes I get paranoid when I smoke, but I try and be aware of that and take my thoughts with a grain of salt.

But...in this case, i've kind of been paranoid about her trying to get pregnant for a while now. But in the episode I was watching, the pastor was reunited with his long lost daughter. Which is strange, because he's a virgin. It turns out, some girl snuck into his bedroom and cleaned out his tissue basket after he had done wanking it.

Just out of curiosity, about how long can sperm survive in an exposed environment?

And on a side note, maybe totse will find some amusement in the following statement. Right after I broke up with my ex, her boobs magically inflated at least a full cup. :\

no, a couple days inside the female body, because it's built to try to get pregnant and thus to keep sperm alive. it's warm and happy and so sperm will live longer.

in open air, most likely only a few hours. unless you live somewhere so humid that it will never dry out. basically when the semen starts drying, the sperm start dying.

Yeah it's a couple of hours in the open, up to a week or so inside someone.

Sperm can survive outside of the body for no more than about an hour. In general, if the semen is still wet it may well have live sperm.

Once sperm enter the female body, however, their lifespan increases. Inside the vagina, sperm can only survive for about six hours, as vaginal secretions contain acids that break the sperm down pretty rapidly. Vaginal infections or the presence of a spermicide may destroy sperm, and not allow it to reach the fallopian tubes.

Once sperm travels through the cervix, however, its lifespan increases even more dramatically. Sperm may survive in the Fallopian tubes for as long as 7 days, but generally survives for around 3 to 5 days. This means that fertilization can occur even if the sperm are deposited as much as a full week prior to ovulation.

If a woman’s cervical mucus is not very hospitable to sperm, lifespan of sperm may be shorter. There are aids, such as “pre-seed lubricant,” that may assist with this process.
