Does semen die when it touches the air?

Question

LADIES. I need to settle something once and for all. Me and my fiancé always get into this argument after sex. We don’t like using condoms and I am not on birth control. We use the pull out method. I feel so embarrassed that I don’t know the answer for this for sure, but he is convinced that sperm dies when it touches air and I am pretty sure it stays alive. This all started when I would want him to go back in me after he came but I would make him wipe his dick first 😂 HELP😭

Accepted Answer

It absolutely doesn’t die when it hits the air. If that were true sperm donation wouldn’t exist

Answer

Whoever is saying yes needs to go back to school

Answer

You should get on birth control because more people tend to get pregnant that not when using the pull out method..especially if y'all are having sex more then once a day. 
But no, sperm does not die immediately

Answer

Also the way you're having sex is super risky and if he is putting his uncovered dick back in you after ejaculating, you might as well not be pulling out. Hopefully you guys are ok with pregnancy because you guys are definitely not having safe sex.

Answer

No. It dies when it dries.

Answer

Maybe you should both take a sex ed class

Answer

Multiple sperm cells die when it touches the air. There are hundreds to thousands of cells that are in one load of a guys sperm. So the answer is yes. Just not the way people thinks it dose. It’s not like all of them are useless due to it having air on it, because regardless; if it gets to your vag you can get pregnant. Not enough cells die when it touches the air for the sperm to be useless.

Answer

That’s how I got pregnant 8 years ago 😂, get on birth control.

Answer

I mean air can get up your vagina while you’re having sex and I don’t think that’s ever stopped someone from getting pregnant.... lol

Answer

How do you think sperm collection works? I'll give you a hint, it doesnt work by vacuuming the sperm out. A guy jacks off into a cup, no vacuum necessary, and the sperm is just fine
