Kompas.com - sperm cells produced by the testicles, or testes. When good quality sperm, then the chances of an egg and produce a pregnancy will be even greater. When a man ejaculates and sperm release, how long can sperm survive?


The answer depends on many factors, but the important thing is where the sperm is located. On a dry surface such as on clothing or bed linen, sperm cells will die immediately as the seminal fluid (semen) dry.

While in water, such as in the warm pool or bath tub, the age of the sperm can live much longer because they can survive in warm or wet environments. However, the possibility of sperm cells to swim and get into the female reproductive tract is very small.

Meanwhile in the body of a woman, sperm can live up to five days depending on certain conditions, such as the acidity of the vagina. Because even though sexual intercourse without contraception is done not in the fertile period, there remains the possibility of pregnancy during sperm cell is alive.
