for how long could sperms live outside the human body meaning when it contacts air.
and could it transfer from a man's penis to his hand and then to a girls vagina to make her pregnant?

Hi Anon,

Semen outside the body will dry up, making sperm die very quickly.  A woman can not get pregnant, if a man touches her with semen on his hands. Through intercourse, is how sperm can live and be able to swim through the vaginal wall and through the cervix. 

Best,

Daisy
