So how long does sperm live for outside the vagina?
I've searched on the internet (not so reliable as I've found out) and the answers are SO conflicting Sad

There are such answers as:
"as soon as it comes into contact with air"
"a few minutes after contact with air"
"when it dries up"
"24 hrs" etc. etc.

Which one is correct?@!!!

ALSO, if precum comes into contact with a lubricant such as KY Jelly (which is not spermicidal) does the jelly prolong the sperm's life? or is it still the same? I'm scared my bf may have had some precum on his fingers while he was fingering me with lubricant, which may result in pregnancy.

I need closure, please help Sad

Precum is unlikely to make you pregnant.

All it is is fluid to make the penis head wet and the place its going in. It acts as a lubricant.

and 3-5 days i believe.



I hope i've helped,

It can be 3-5 but sometimes 3-7 days or 72 hours (about 3 days)

Except that, in a sexually active male, it may contain thousands of sperm cells!

Whoever taught you biology should have their license revoked! This so-called "precum" is produced by the Cowper's gland, or the bulbourethral gland. Like any exocrine gland, it is a sponge-like organ composed of tiny ducts and tubules. This provides an environment where sperm cells can live for days. When the gland becomes active again, the sperm are secreted along with the seminal fluid.
