Sperm in the cervical mucus of a woman's vagina can survive for up to seven days which is 168 hours.
Without the cervical mucus to both nourish and protect the sperm, the sperm will die within one-half to four hours outside the body.
Anyone who has touched freshly ejaculated semen should — wash and dry — or at least wipe off— his/her hands before touching the vulva or vagina, otherwise some sperm can be introduced and possibly result in pregnancy.

2-5 days depending on the "health" of the sperm and the pH level of the vagina

Several days. But if it stays in the vagina it's got less chance than if it hit the cervix. Vaginal fluids are spermicidal - the little guys need to get into the womb if they are to stand a chance.
Anyway, what does it matter? you'll know in a month.

vagina is the external part of famele body ;)
but inside female body sperm can live up to 8 days( i think in cervix but not sure), that is why sex in time when woman can not get pregnant is not always effective.

The average is 48 hours. If you are concerned re possible pregnancy and ovulation times you should do something about it now.
