Does sperm die when washed with water?

They die as they dry out, so it depends on how quickly they dry. They also are killed by fresh(tap) water due to osmotic shock(they “explode”). Soap and detergents such as those used for laundering and hand washing also kill them, as these substances strip off the cell membrane(“skin”) of the sperm.
