A member asked:
How long / how many minutes or hours can sperm survive on various objects/materials such as glass, plastic, metal and rubber (not condom) if exposed to air in a closed room?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not long, maybe a few minutes. But it doesn't matter. Pregancy never, ever happens from contact with sperm in the environment, even if fresh, set, and still alive. (From a simple hygiene standpoint, clean it up, just to be a nice guy. But do not worry about someone conceiving as a result of contact with it.)
