How Long Does Sperm Live Outside the Male Body? Posted: 08-17-05 10:19am


I was wondering how long would sperm live outside the penis, like if a guy ejaculates and then how long does it stay alive out in the open air?

I think only a few hours or maybe a few days I know it lives in side the female body for up to 7 - 14 days

Sperm will live outside of the body until it dries up which could take 5-15 min. And once sperm is released inside a woman it takes about 5 minutes to get to the fallopian tubes, where it can wait for up to 5 days before dying.
