what is the lifespan of sperm cells outside the body?

Question

My boyfriend and I have been addicted in having sex lately. We even did it twice a day! One time, just before our classes, we did the "deed" and he ejaculated in his hands. After the classes (that's 8 hours after), we did it again, and he immediately enter it in my vagina. Im a bit concern since, as far as I've remembered, I did not see him wash his hands. Could the sperm on his hands impregnate me?

Answer 1

The first answer is incorrect. As long as sperm is wet in semen(two different things!)they are viable. They are alive, and yes you could get pregnant if it was still wet. If it was DRY, then yes, it did die.

Answer 4

no way. sperm die within a matter of a couple of minutes once they hit the air. and i am sure he washed his hands during the day. start using condoms and get on the birth control pill

Answer 5

eww, tell your man to wash his hands after that... yuck, i hope he washed his hands before classes because if not, i'm sure he shook hands with at least one person and eww...i always make my man wash his hands before he touches me like that, but no, 8 hours later sperm is dry and dead, had he put his fingers inside of you right after he ejaculated on his hands, then yes, but not 8 hours later.
