Q: can sperm survive without seminal or pre ejaculatory fluid?i mean if a surface like clothing or hands seems all dry,no visible fluid at all,would there still be a sperm?

: No. Without a stable and favorable environment sperm become disabled &amp; die quickly. Once dried, they cannot become re-activated &amp; remain fertile.

Sperms do not survive outside more than 10=15 mts if not in the vagina so they would be dead on dry clothing.
