Sperm can not live in open air.

However; sperm when ejaculated are not in open air.

The ejaculate fluid (semen) protects the sperm. So long as the sperm remain wet and within the seminal fluids, it is possible for them to live two to three days. To keep them wet for that long would require ideal conditions. (proper humidity, no contact with drying agents, avoidance of air flow, etc)

Under normal circumstances; seminal fluids dripped onto the human body or onto bed sheets will dry up. This may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour (mostly depending on humidity and contact with other surfaces). Once the seminal fluids are dry; the sperm inside have been exposed fully to open air, and are dead.
