Sperm Life Outside the Body

How long can a sperm live outside the body?

Minutes, hours, days?

by Kevin Kennedy, Ph.D., Jan 13, 2002 12:00AM
Sperm cannot survive for long outside the body, unless special laboratory environments are provided. Without such special circumstances, and depending on the particulars (e.g., fluid, temperature), sperm can survive only a matter of minutes.
