A member asked:
How quickly does sperm die as it makes contact with air, water, and soap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly quickly: As they dry out, but what difference does it make. They're not going to jump off of external surfaces and attack someone's vagina. They're just single cell organisms with a limited life span, not mma warriors. Simple washing with water is all that's necessary.
