How long do sperm live, e.g. on a towel or in a condom? Is there a high risk of getting pregnant in this case?

Mrs. Karolina!
Knowledge on this subject changes rapidly. Currently, there is talk of up to 48 hours of sperm survival outside the vagina. And how much it will be in the next few months, I don't know. I always recommend birth control pills; why such stresses and doubts. Regards
