A member asked:
When doing home insemination, if sperm is ejaculated into a sterile sealed cup, how long until it dies?

A sperm sample collected in a sterile container at body temperature may remain alive for several hours, but the sperms' fertilizing capability drops dramatically within 60 minutes after ejaculation.
