A member asked:

Hi- can a woman use my tissue i ejaculated in to get pregnant. and how long can sperm live on a tissue. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not very long: Sperm are best able to "perform their job" when they are transmitted from one warm moist place to another warm moist place. Sperm are great swimmers, but not in a tissue.(:dry land").
