Sperm live inside the male body for about 74 days. They are produced in the testicles and then travel to a storage area called the epididymis where they mature and develop their swimming ability. While in the epididymis, sperm are not technically motile, but they quiver slightly. This quivering helps them to keep moving through the epididymis and prevents them from sticking together. After 74 days, if the sperm are not ejaculated, they are reabsorbed by the body.
