Q: Life Span of a Sperm?

Hi there,

does anyone know the life span that sperm have once you have had sex? How long do they live inside you?

I have been told they can last up to 3 days till they die? Is this true or is it an old wives tale?

Thanks

I have read something that says they can live up to seven days inside of you....But that would be like the absolute longest and its prolly not that common they live that long but its possible!
