Does sperm die when they contact with the air?

Question

Do sperms die once they are out and have contact with the air? If by any chance I touch it with my pussy by accident is there any risk in getting pregnant?

Answer

Why are you having sex?

Answer

No, oxygen does not kill sperm immediately. They die when the liquid they are in dries up. They can live in a moist environment (like a woman's vagina, cervix, on the surface of your skin etc) for up to 5 days.

Answer

When in doubt, take the safest route!  Don't be like I was at 16. My SO at the time had ran out of condoms so we took it to his pool , convinced that the sperm couldn't survive the chlorine. We were mistaken. I wound up pregnant and miscarried not long after finding out. If you're trying to avoid pregnancy,  please, take all the necessary steps.

Answer

Only if it has dried.

Answer

You can't touch sperm by accident & get pregnant, and no sperm is actually in a liquid like substance called semen, so it's protected....
