However, the average sperm will live just 3-4 days even after making it to the fallopian tubes. Only the heartiest of sperm will get a chance at fertilizing the egg. While a spermâs lifespan lasts several days, a womanâs egg is only viable for one day after it is released.
Life span of sperm. Sperm don't live very long when ejaculated inside a female, but how long do they live if they remain inside the male? I have noticed that if I have abstained for a few days I ejaculate a lot more; but if I abstain for more than about 5 days, the quantity seems to remain constant. That would imply either that sperm live up to 5 days or that there is a mechanism for switching off production when a certain level is reached.
