How long after sperm hits oxygen does it take to die?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It's not the oxygen that kills sperm it's more the ambient temperature. Also sperm does not survive well within the semen. So to answer your question the temperature matters and also the environment that the sperm is in will determine the length it survives.
