How long does sperm really live outside the body? for instance- on a hand or in the mouth? there are so many rumors its hard to know the truth.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few hours: Sperm is dead if the semen dries. It may live a few hours while the semen is wet on clothing. For more information about the subject see this site. http://www.webmd.com/infertility-and-reproduction/guide/sperm-and-semen-faq.
