A member asked:

How long can sperm live inside a spermicide condom ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unknown: Haven't heard and solid numbers about the life expectancy of sperm in spermicide-coated condoms, or comparisons between how long sperm live in plain condoms vs. in spermicide-coated condoms. Use of spermicide on condoms may be a marketing issue rather than a medical issue unless condom makers can show good research evidence. Also, each guy's sperm, each ambient temperature, may make a difference.
