A member asked:
How long can semen live after ejaculation outside the body? a few minutes or hours? how long do they do when ejaculated on the surface of an object?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rapidly: If not kept in an enviroment near body temperature, sperm die very rapidly. Hence, semen samples need to be transported near body temperature to the lab within 30 min to 1 hour of collection.
