How long human sperm can live outside the human body depends on several things: temperature and humidity among them. At room temperature (75 °F or 25 °C) without dehydration the sperm can live between 4 and 6 hours. Dehydration means, without drying out. After all, the semen (viscous, whitish secretion of the male reproductive organs, containing spermatozoa and serving as their transporting medium) is over 85% water. So then if the semen loses water (dehydration) this material begins to crystallize; all the while the sperm cells also undergo water loss. Therefore, in ordinary dry air at room temperature when dehydration is an added factor, human sperm can live maybe 1 to 3 hours.
Women can get pregnant even when a man "pulls out". All it takes is one sperm to make it to the egg for a woman to become pregnant. I have a few friends that have gotten prenant as a result of using the "pulling out" method. It's not a reliable form or not getting anyone pregnant. Pre-ejaculate can be very potent.

If any sperm or precum (which also contains sperm) gets near the vagina it is possible to get pregnant. A sperm can live up to five days once it has been released, but only in a warm moist enviroment. There is always a slight possiblity of pregnancy whenever sperm gets near the vagina, because a sperm can live so long in the right environment... the best thing to do is put a condom on right away... this keeps precum of your hands, even if you are just messing around. (also on a side note, air does not immediately kill sperm, the sperm dies when it dries up. Think of earth worms after a rainy day. They wiggle around for a while, but once the sun hits them, they eventually dry up and die)

If kept warm at body temperature (like on the skin or in a warm test tube), sperm remain motile for several hours. Inside the female reproductive tract, they can live for up to 7 days. Sperm are very sensitive to temperature and moisture and will eventually die outside the body, but since each ejaculate may contain as many as 750 million sperm, and it only takes one sperm to result in pregnancy, precautions are essential

It can't live long but long enough for you to get pregnant. There is a pill available now called the morning after pill that will stop you from getting pregnant up to 72 hours after. i suggest you punch it in yahoo or google before you ruin your life by an unwanted pregnancy.

Oh yes, you can get pregnant if sperm is even near the vaginal area. Those things can swim.
