How do sperm banks work?

If sperm dies when it hits air then how do sperm banks work?

  • Answer:

    The sperm cells don't all "hit the air" immediately when the seminal fluid is released outside the body. They can swim around for a while inside the drops of seminal fluid, and they die when the seminal fluid dries up. If the stuff can be preserved (by being frozen) before this happens, the sperm cells can remain viable.

They don't get to hit air. Then I believe they are frozen where they will survive for a limited time.
