Sperm don't have an indefinate lifestyle.
Sperm live in your system for 3 days; they can live in any environment for up to 7 days.
If his sperm gets anywhere near your vagina, then you're going to have an increased risk of getting pregnant.

Sperm do not die instantly when they come in contact with air. If you come back say an hour later, and put the semen in your vagina, you can most definitely get pregnant. If you are talking about coming back a day later and doing it, your chances of getting pregnant are slim. If the condom has spermicide in it your chances are slim either way.
And yes, if your boyfriend ejaculates near your vagina, the sperm can swim in and get you pregnant. The fluids from your vagina make a perfect pathway for them to find their way in.

Im pretty sure the sperm cells die, but not after a while (i don't know how long). Why would you ever want to put it in your vagina after it was in the trash, or do it anyway. If you want to get preg, have it go directly in your vagina without a condom.

Maybe and yes. Maybe you could get pregnant because sperm could live a little while. That's why a lot of guys know to flush condoms rather than risk it. However, if he uses a condom with spermicide, that's far less likely to happen. His sperm could also get into your vagina; as you know, fluids can spread. I'd use the patch or some other birth control to be sure, in addition to condoms. As the box says, condoms are only 97% effective -- things can happen.

Sperm don't die as soon as they come into contact with air, infact they can live quite a while.
Also, it depends how close to your vagina he ejaculates. If it's somewhere that could potentially come into contact with your vagina then there is a possibility it could get inside you, but it's usually pretty hard. If he ejaculates near your vagina, just make sure you have a shower/bath as soon as you can.

Ugh, not the kind of question I'd ask here but anyways....
Sperm does not just die after hitting the air. I'm no doctor or scientist, but I'm sure that you could get pregnant several hours later if you were to do just that.

Yes
Your vagina is about the most toxic place for sperm to survive and they can live up to 3 days in there.

Depends on time length and if the condom had sperm killer. The more you wait the sperm stop swimming and die

Best way to avoid, is to avoid. Sperm should die within a few moments if not transferred directly to a warm medium of 98.6 degree F.

sperm dies. how long it takes to die varies (could be a few hours, could be a few days, depends on the surface and whether it inhibits or supports growth).
yes, sperm can swim. anywhere around tha vagina and wet, and they could swim into you and get you pregnant
