The average lifespan of sperm, once it is in a healthy environment, is 3 - 5 days. It takes that long to travel up the vaginal canal, through the uterus and up the fallopian tubes where the egg is fertilized.

No, it is not necessary to have intercourse on a daily basis as it takes about 24 hours for your husband's sperm to build back up in numbers.

While we women are born with a certain number of eggs, men rebuild their sperm count constantly. If you have intercourse every night, this tends to lower the sperm count.
