how long

[silverdaler]

can sperm survive out of the body?

[Sqad]

Do you mean survive long enough to be able to go back into the vagina, into the uterus and fertilise an egg?.......probably no more than 5 mins.

To still be alive............probably 2-3 hours depending upon the environmental circumstances.

[silverdaler]

yes to still fertilize an egg

[Sqad]

as above in my reply.

[mrs_overall]

The mind boggles - can I be nosy and ask why you are asking this?

[Sqad]

Mrs_O........;-) have a guess. Coitus interruptus, no condom and semen splashed onto the perineum which they had not noticed for 5-10 mins?

Good guess?

[dotty.]

it would have to know which way to go though.

[wolf63]

if it's a 'boy' sperm it is hardly going to stop and ask for directions dotty.

[smurfchops]

I read somewhere that female sperm live longer than male. Dont know how long though.

[4getmenot]

years.....if its frozen

[DTCwordfan]

I didnt know women made sperm - who is going to take me to bed?

[boxtops]

There isn't a female sperm, it's an ovum - and it lurks inside, you dont' see one outside unless it's beyond hope.

Wolf63.....You had me in fits!!!

[Matheous-2]

silverdaler- On a serious note....One reason why coitus interruptus is inefficient being the fact that there can be some initial 'lubricating' sperm ejaculated (prior to the full load) while the boy is in there and as far as I'm aware that can be enough to cause impregnation!
