A member asked:
How long could sperm live on a bar of soap in perfect conditions? if the bar remains wet, the sperm stays on the bar of soap without drying out, etc. would the sperm/soap have to dry out or would it die even if it remains wet and moist on the soap?

The wetness would trigger the soap to dissolve & form a solution that invades and neutralizes/kills the sperm. No matter how often you ask this question the answer will be the same. Quit obsessing over it or take some stress management classes.

Sperms will die within 10 minutes on a bar of soap or any other surface that is not the vagina
