Brief Answer:
Normal condom-48 hours; with spermicide 1-2 hours

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. A response to your query depends on the type of condom; as there are many condoms in the market with a layer of spermicide (which kill sperm) inside the condom.

When a condom with spermicide is used, the sperm in the condom can last not longer than an hour or two. But if a normal condom was used then the sperm in the ejaculate in the condom can live up to 48 hours, which is the normal time it can survive in suitable environments.

I hope you find my response helpful sir. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
No sir, it does not really make any difference

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Meaning from the second ejaculate? No sir, it does not make any difference.

But fertilization is difficult by just rubbing the semen on the female genitalia, penetration is almost mandatory.
