How long does sperm live outside the body?

Usually only a few minutes. Once semen is exposed to air it begins to dry, and the sperm die as it dries , generally within minutes, at most about an hour in warm, moist conditions. Dried semen on skin, sheets or clothing contains no living sperm and cannot cause pregnancy.
