Life of sperm
How long does a sperm live after intercourse?
Once a man ejaculates into a woman's vagina, the sperm begin their journey. From: www.my-penis.org:
"A small number of sperm swim straight through the cervix and into the uterus, then on into the oviducts, where they temporarily rest. Eventually they may meet the egg on its way down the oviduct to the uterus. Other sperm come to rest in the walls of the cervix. After a few days they continue their journey upwards. The consequence of this is that for four or five days after intercourse, there is a steady stream of sperm reaching the oviducts."
So, if you do not wish to get pregnant, make sure you are using a reliable form of birth control because these guys are determined!

In the best of circumstances they can live for a week. It's usually around 3-5 days though.
Excellent question! Sperm can live in a woman's body for up to six days — possibly seven. And, as long as the semen is still wet, the sperm can survive outside the body. If the semen has dried, been wiped off, or washed off, there are no longer any living sperm.

Sperm stays active for as long as you need it providing It's kept at about 75c and It's not out in the open air. the faster it dries the faster it dies,

female sperm lasts up to 72 hours, males 48 both with fertile mucus. If it is not fertile then they will not last as long.
