Sperm can live up to 48 hours after ejaculation. The above answer is wrong in the context of what the question is asking. Sperm can only survive in a warm wet environment. Once sperm dries, it is dead. By default, wiping sperm on a paper towel means that the semen is being absorbed into the towel. If it is absorbed, it becomes dry and dry sperm = dead sperm.

Is paper living dead or non living?

Because paper is almost always made from biomaterials, the source was once alive. By the time the material becomes paper, all the cells that were once alive are no longer alive, but you can still see remnants of them if you were to examine the paper with strong enough magnification. By this reasoning paper would be "dead". The term non-living is usually reserved for matter that was never alive in the first place.

They do not die unless you swallow it, this is because the acid in your stomach kills them. But if it is just in your mouth then saliva can't do any harm to it! Hope this helped you.
