How tough is male sperm?

Question

How long does sperm live outside the body for? Will it survive even after washing hands etc with water?

Answer 1

Sperm will live up to 72 hours in ultimate conditions (inside the body). However, outside of the body, it is fragile and it will not live long at all when exposed to the elements. The cell will usually die quickly from severe temperature variations (outside of the 96-98F range) or from loss of the supporting seminal fluid (dehydration). If your hands are washed properly, sperm will die from the effects of the soap and any chemicals, such as chlorine in the water.

Answer 2

When females are inseminated by multiple males, male paternity success (sperm precedence) is determined by the underlying processes of sperm storage and sperm utilization. Although informative for many questions, two - male sperm competition experiments may offer limited insight into natural mating scenarios when females are likely to mate with several males. In this study, genetic markers in Tribolium castaneum - are used to trace paternity for multiple sires, and to determine whether displacement of stored sperm that occurs after a third mating equally affects both previous mates, or if fertilizations are disproportionately lost by the females most recent mate.
