A member asked:

What happens when the sperm is on hands without semen?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Sperm is part of semen. You do not have sperm without semen. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

They die. Hard to separate sperm from semen at home. Beware.
