how long does sperm survive  outside the body?

what if it  is refrigera8ed?
is there any way to prolong the  life of sperm  

Answer
Yom,

Wow, you have a lot of questions.  

1.  As long as a women is still having a period and ovulating, she can get pregnant.

2.  Fertility does decrease with age, the best time to conceive is when the women if ovulating (I recommend using an ovulation test kit)

3.  It doesn't make a difference if she has had children before, however, if she has, you know she can conceive.

4.  Yes, vaginal and penile secretions absolutely can cause an STD.

5.  Sperm only lives outside the body for a few hours.  It will live longer if frozen.
