how long can sperm live before it hits the air?? (don't say it dies when it hits the air, thats ridiculous) i know it has to live in certain conditions & i was wondering what those are?? can sperm swim around clothes?? i heard its possible but what are the chances of that happening?? also, isnt it true that the sperm has to be sent through the guys fluids & reach the girls fluids so that it actually swims?? i heard air can't be involved.

Sperm can survive several hours outside of the human body if it's not cleaned up. Water or oil are pretty toxic to sperm and are fine ways to neutralize any semen you got on your hands. Inside the female body sperm survives at the very least for two days, but can last as long as a week.
Yes sperm can get through clothing. Sperm doesn't swim through air of course, it swims in the other liquids that make up semen, if these liquids soak through your clothing, then yes it is possible for sperm to get inside of you. So you are basically correct, the semen needs to contact with vaginal fluids in order to transfer into the women.
But honestly dear, just be smart about it. Don't let a guy ejaculate unnecessarily close to the danger zones, and everyone should wash up well before doing anything else after ejaculation. It's pretty much just common sense.
