If i wash sperm off my hands with water, can the sperms die ? and can exposed air kill sperm ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eventually: Sperm don't last long outside the warm moist environment of the male &female genital tract. When they dry out, they are no linger effective. When washed/diluted with soap & water they can no longer function.
