Sperm: Sperm in the vagina don't live more than minutes, the ph is too acidic for them. Sperm in the cervix/cervical crypts on the other hand live at least 48-72 hours, some reports do suggest up to 5 days.

Here are some...: The living environments for the sperms in semen from natural vaginal insemination and "in-home" insemination, artificial, differ; for natural insemination, sperm may live up to 3-7 days and much shorter from "in-home" artificial one. More? Ask your ob-gyn doctor.
