How long do sperms live on the skin? can they live under nails? and if they are dried can they come back to life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See remark: It is hard to predict,usually sperm cant survive on dry surface for long...and can't live long under nails. Once they are dry,they are DEAD for good
