Up to SIX days.

Answer 2

thats tough as if you mean for actual getting a woman pregnant being outside the mans body (like having it frozen or whatever) it can live for a while as long as its done right away. if you mean not doing it at a clinic for insemination and .... well like in the bedroom, then chances are it won't live long enough to impregnate. You could ejaculate even on a womans thigh and not get her pregnant as air almost instantly kills sperm. Its the old science test (lol, actually had a science teacher say this) that if a guy ejaculates on a table (don't even want to know ho came up with that one) that you'll notice it chances color and almost disipates into thin air. the thing tat protects the sperm and makes it potent is the womans vagina and the warmth and lack of oxogen. if i remember thats how it goes.

out in open air, the sperm can live up to half a day. as long as the temperature is not different of the body temp. for example when a man sperm is collected in a cup for observation or whatever, his sperm are still alive when you take it to the hospital 30 mintue drive away, then they have to test it, which could take half the day. the hospital has a better way of preseving, freezing and placing them in a good environment.
if the sperm is in a woman's body, the maximum time it can live is 6 days. but most stay in 1-2 days. usually when you have intercourse and he leaves them inside you and if you do not move for 20-30 mintues, they may have traveled far enough to stay inside your uterus. but if you use the bathroom right away or if you do kegel's they may not stay in your body.

Answer 4

If it is inside a female than the XX sperm will die in abotu 2 days, as for XY they can live up to 4 days. But outside of the male and female not long at all. You can conceive a child a few days after intercourse itself....as long as the female is ovulating.

Answer 5

When a man nuts outside the sperm dies.

Answer 6

outside the body, not long at all, in a women, i think a couple days.

Answer 7

inside the female body about 3 days, outside outside it will die almost instantly

Answer 8

Good question: A man has to ejaculate into a cup so his wife can receive it thru insemination. So, I assume they freeze it. But, hopefully you can get an answer here or educate yourself online.

Answer 9

only a few minutes at the most. air kills them quickly

Answer 10

nanoseconds, once air (oxygen) hits those little guys they are dead.
