How long does your sperm live when it touches air?

Question about sperm
-
Not very long, but I can't tell you exact minutes.
-
Depends on the conditions. If you just ejaculate on a table or whatever and leave it exposed to the air, most of the sperm will live for an hour or two. However, there will probably be some that will live for 3 or 4 hours. I would say you need to give it about 24 hours exposed to the air to pretty much guarantee they are all dead by then. Remember, we're talking about hundreds of millions of sperm in a single ejaculation, and they don't all die at the same time. Now, under optimal storage conditions and temperature, sperm can live for several days once ejaculated.

under some conditions i heard it can live 1-3 days.. idk how accurate that is
-
Very old post thank you, but sperm inside the vagina can last up to 5-7 days depending on conditions. Anything outside the vagina can be up to 4 hours depending on conditions.

how many times does a microscope have to magnify it so you can see it
-
A minimum of 300 times, but you really need 400x to see them well, like in my avatar.
-
wut about 900x or 600x is that 400x
-
900x and 600x are higher magnifications. You need a very good microscope to see a good picture at the higher magnifications - at higher magnifications the field tends to be darker and the resolution poorer. Also very small movements send things off field. But if the microscope can work at 900x, it might give a very good view at 600x.
-
In addition to what Ineligible said, 900x or 600x will make each sperm look larger than at 400x (because of the higher magnification), and you will see more detail of each sperm. But for general sperm viewing, and for sperm counts, 400x to 600x is the best. If you go to the lab to have a sperm count done, the labs mostly use 400x to conduct sperm counts. If the lab wants to check for sperm abnormalities, they'll use 600x to 900x to examine the sperm more closely for defects that might cause infertility problems.

How long would it last in the microwave?
-
Not long! A few seconds. Sperm are very sensitive to being cooked. Why would you want to microwave your sperm???
-
how would you perpare the slide for the microsope?
-
I dont really know, I just find the consept of cooking sperm funny. Especialy if you scolded somone with it.

In reply to:
how would you perpare the slide for the microsope?
You mean for general sperm viewing? I just take a dropper, and place a small drop of semen on a glass microscope slide, and then place a glass coverslip over the drop of semen, which spreads the drop out evenly, and keeps only about two layers of sperm thick, without squashing the sperm, which is good for viewing.
-
that is kinda stupid homicidal
-
yes... yes it is
-
have you been droped on your head when you were little??
-
No but your mom dropped in on my other head a few times.
-
that is just messed up
