Solution

As the human reproductive sperm comes in contact with air it dies faster due to semen drying in the presence of air. The sperms outside the body can live for 15-30 minutes only if the favorable conditions are provided. In the absence of right conditions, sperm dies almost immediately within 1-2 minutes.
However, inside a woman's body, sperm can live for up to five days depending on the conditions.
