Question 1

how fast does pre cum die and does it guaranatee pregnancy? how much sperm is in it

Accepted Answer

Varies.: The fact is that secretions from the penis prior to ejaculation do contain sperm.  Inside the body, sperm can live for several days.  Outside, it's likely a matter of hours before they perish.  You can start with a home pregnancy test first if you are concerned about pregnancy.  Pre-ejaculate secretions contain less sperm than an ejaculate contains, but pregnancy is possible with exposure to it.

Question 2

how does sperm die?

Accepted Answer

Sperm death: Well, this is got to be one of the more unusual questions here. I'm wondering in what context you want to know. Sperm, like any living tissue requires some sort of "food or energy" to survive. We also have to remain in some form of solution and not dry out. There are formulas and chemicals that can kill sperm. Here's something you can read.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/spermicide.

Question 3

does sperm die when exposed to air?

Accepted Answer

Yes: After a period of time as they dry out.

Question 4

when sperm hits the air does it die?

Accepted Answer

NO: This may be a misconception for couples using the "pull out method" for contraception.  Sperm may not be viable for long "out in the air" however, if you are using the pull out method for contraception, normal sperm are very active and strong swimmers, so even if most of  ejaculation happens after "pull out" and , even small amounts left close to the vagina, can make a bee line to the womb.

Question 5

Question 9

Minutes: Sperm is very sensitive to any environment other than testicles. Even in the vagina tons of sperm cells die quickly. Outside of the body it dies quickly as it dries up.

Question 10

how long does it take sperm to die after expulsion?

Accepted Answer

Depends where: Sperm can live up to a week in the fallopian tube if they get that far. Do not survive more than a few hours in vagina unless they pass thru opening in cervix. They need to pass thru uterus to fallopian tube to survive. Die soon after ejaculation if outside vagina. Can survive many years if frozen as at a sperm bank. Need to be inserted rapidly after ejaculation if used for artificial insemination.
