A member asked:
If i have sex and he didn't come and got my period the next day and it lasted 7 days would the sperm be dead and unable to fertilize by the end of my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dead: Sperm are mostly dead after a few days, and all dead after 7 days, doubly dead after 7 days of menstrual bleeding. If married, settled down, and planning for a baby, just start having daily sex now. If not... then don't have any sex until a good reliable form of birth control is working (such as an IUD, or birth control pills, etc.).

A member asked:
How long could sperm survive outside the body if it remains moist and not dried for a long period of time? Would it have to dry out before it can be presumed dead or would it still die even after maintaining its moisture for around 8-10 hours? Thanks?
