A 26-year-old female asked:
Is it fully confirmed that sperms die after 9-12 days even if these were inserted in any part of woman body and so can't fertilize the egg after that?

First of all sperm cannot live outside on an inanimate object for more than a few hours. Secondly, insertion of sperm to impregnate must be put inside the vagina close to the cervix fairly immediately.
