help, advice... ANYTHING!
My boyfriend and I have been debating about whether or not sperm is still active when it hits air. Recently we've had sex (we use a condom) sperm will be on me or him and we have been really really worried (paranoid) that it will travel into my vagina and make me pregnant. I've recently heard that once sperm hits the air it's dead. True? (cant stop thinking that i could be pregnant!)

no hun you cant get pregnant from sperm being on the outside of you vagina explanation: the sperm has to traveo up your fallopian tubes then has to be implanted in you egg and the sperm has to swim the sperm cant swim on a dry vagina so no you cant and just for proof go to webmd.com

Fact:
You can get pregnant if ejaculation(release of sperm) occurs near, not inside the vagina.
So you have to be really careful, even if you do use a condom, if it's on you, you can still get pregnant, because sperm can still manage it's way into your vagina and impregnate you.

the sperm was created so it will go to the vagina no matter what it takes it will try to get there.
and remember the sperm can only get you pregnant if the condom broke or was already damaged when he put it on.
the sperm last from 24-48 hours.
and no air will not kill the sperm.

Excellent question! Sperm can live inside a woman's body for six days — possibly seven. Outside the body, as long as the semen is still wet, the sperm can survive. If the semen has dried, been wiped off, or washed off, there are no longer any living sperm. So as soon as the ejaculation dries, the sperm die. I assume that if you cleaned up right after, you should be oK.
Pregnancy can happen any time semen spills on or near the vulva.(the vulva is the area between your legs that is visible.) So if you got semen there, but cleaned it up right away, you should be OK. Please use two kinds of birth control, to be double sure. You should be on the pill, AND you boyfriend should us a condom. Most condoms have a spermacide in them, that kills sperm on contact, you can even buy spermacide as a foam, that you can insert into your vagina, before having sex, and then if the condom breaks, hopefully the spermacide will kill the sperm.
