Most sperm, however will die within 1-2 days after ejaculation, even inside the uterus. In other environments, such as the vagina, sperm live only a few hours and outside the human body, exposed to the open air, they will usually die within minutes. The egg, on the other hand, has a life-span of only about 12-24 hours at most from the time it bursts from the ovary.
