how long does it take for sperm to die or whatever it does when it is in the vagina

Sperm can live in a woman's body for up to six days — possibly seven. That's why most pregnancies result from fertilization by sperm that have been waiting in a woman's reproductive tract days before the release of her egg — ovulation — takes place.
Outside the body — where they're not being nourished and protected by a woman's cervical mucus and vaginal secretions, or the warmth and moisture of a man's urethra and reproductive tract — sperm die anywhere between a half an hour to four hours after being ejaculated. If the ejaculate has dried out, or has been wiped or washed off, there are no longer any living sperm to worry about.
Hope this information helps!

It can take up to 5 days for the sperm to die in the vagina.

About 3 days depending on the health of the sperm.

Not only does it take five days for sperm to die, but if the woman's body senses the presence of sperm, it can speed up ovulation to take advantage of it. So, PLEASE, use birth control unless you want to have children.

Well I'm not an expert, but I do have 5 children and think I know a lot about this stuff. I believe it stays alive in the uterus for 48 hours. Hope that helps.

I agree with the person above. They stay alive around 2 to 3 days. It is possible, although extremely rare, for them to stay alive for up to 4 or 5 days.

INSERT A CONTRACEPTIVE IN YOUR VAGINA.
