How long does sperm alive after ejaculate?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
DEPENDS: Sperm ejaculated into a woman's vagina can live for three to five days. Fertilization is possible as long as the sperm remain alive. Sperm ejaculated outside the body might survive in semen up to a few hours. Sperm can be preserved for weeks when semen is stored at a lowered temperature or years when frozen.

Is it true that if a guy ejaculates himself every day (not during sex, just practicing himself), will he eventually get rid of most of the sperm and last longer in bed? Because my boyfriend doesn't ejaculate himself that much & he only lasts 5 minutes in
