Dose sperm die when it hits the air?

Question

Dose sperm die when it hits the air?

Answer 1

No.

They can last at most a few hours. But if the seminal fluid is dried, then they're pretty much dead.

Answer 2

Not instantly, but it can't survive for more than a few hours

Answer 3

No.

As long as sperm are contained in s***n, or inside the body, they will survive.

When intercourse takes place, and s***n is ejected into another's body, it will survive there for 2-3 days.

s***n that is swallowed will kill the sperm once it reaches the acidic environment of the stomach.

Sperm discharged into cloth, a tissue, etc. will die once the s***n dries up.

Hope this helps without being too graphic.  

Answer 4

No, it's fully alive.
