Sperm samples. Why collected? Who was there? Did you or your partner use porn?

Was wondering...

I have had to collect my sperm in small cups for IVF.

Wondering if others would like to share?

1. Why has your sperm being collected?

2. Were you alone? Or was your partner or medical staff present?

3. Did you use provided pornography?

4. Was the pornography "good" for you?

I could have used a greater variety of porn to select from.

Twice for IVF & once through prostate massage for medical issue.

First time was done at home, wife assisting. Video porn. Took to hospital where I watched as it was injected into the cervix.

2nd time, alone in a curtained-off "room." I was alone in room. Video porn available. Had a curious feeling, picturing how many before me produced samples on that same chair.

I was given the cup by a woman behind the window when I signed in. Had to hold it in the waiting rm waiting to be called.

I was given a pair of paper shorts with a hole in the front, a stack of wipes and instructions on how to use them. I was to let my penis dry fully before starting the collection. I didn't use the shorts as the paper was kind of crackly. Surprisingly, it took about 15-20 min to produce the sample. I was in one of 5 curtained off "rooms" so I could hear other videos being played. I could hear faint "slapping" over others producing samples over the sound of the videos. It was kind of erotic. I tried to be as quiet as possible while dealing with the fear of somebody coming thru the curtain before I finished. Probably why it took me so long. I would have thought I would have been put in a room with a door. Would like to hear others experiences,. Did you have an actual room with locking door or is this common. Maybe this was a bargain basement IVF lab, but it worked & 9 mo later I had a bouncing baby boy.

I have had to provide sperm samples at 2 different times. Once was in the early 70's, and then again in the mid 80's. Both times it was because my current wife and I were attempting to "get pregnant" and it was taking longer than anticipated. It was suggested that I provide a sperm sample to rule out infertility issues on my end since it was a simple procedure. In the first instance I was told to immediately bring in a condom after having had sex at home. I did not live close to the clinic so I ended up jerking off into a specimen jar in the back of my van while it was discreetly parked near the clinic.

The second time I was told to go into the bathroom at the medical office and produce a sample. There was some instruction about how to collect it, making sure I collected the fluid that contained the most sperm etc. I was not provided with any erotic material....I just had to use my imagination. Although I was successful it was not easy for me as I found the environment and the situation not conducive to producing erotic thoughts. It was fortunate that I was a young man with a high libido since there was nothing sexy about it at all.

I produced a total of 7 semen samples over a 15 year period starting in my late 20's for fertility evaluation purposes. The first was at home, wife assisting, took the sample to the office immediately afterwards. The second was with my wife assisting in a women's bathroom outside the clinic office (kinda kinky.) The third was for a "hamster egg test" to see if the sperm can penetrate an egg cell, at a University women's clinic, in the exam room by myself. The only visual aid was in a bathroom that connected two exam rooms, and it was a diagram of a woman providing a urine sample (which actually does turn me on.) I sat on the exam table with my pants and underpants pulled down and masturbated into what looked like a 35 mm film canister. Sample four was collected in my urologist's office bathroom after my genital/rectal exam, the only time that ever happened, using my imagination and the memory of the exam itself for stimulus. Samples five and six were collected in the men's bathroom of the testing lab, brought my own porn for those. Sample number seven was collected in an actual fertility clinic "production room", with a comfortable couch, soft lighting and softer porn, which I ramped up with my own images. The kinky dimension of doing this still turns me on, and if I could find someone to write me a script to get a current "old man" sample I would. 😉

I had to produce a few samples for checking my fertility, when I was 19 or 20, after I was knocked off my bicycle and had suspected pelvis injuries and bruised nerves. Also had bleeding from my balls which resulted in my scrotum swelling massively. After I had been treated in hospital for about 1.5 weeks and they decided I didn't have a fractured pelvis / spine (thankfully!) and the swelling of my balls had lessened & scans didn't suggest continued bleeding, I was told I needed to provide a semen sample so they could check everything was OK. They warned me if might be uncomfortable & the sample would probably be slightly red, but that was a major understatement. I went to the bathroom and started to masturbate (no materials available as this was on a surgical ward). As I got nearer to climax, the pain started to increase & as I ejaculated, I believe I must have passed out, as next thing I was aware of was the nurse kneeling over me. Somehow I'd managed to catch some of the sample, which was bright red!! Later the doctor came to see me & told me they'd been unable to assess the sample due to the amount of blood in it. I was asked to provide another sample a few days later. That was still slightly tinged and uncomfortable to produce. The result came back as infertile / very low count.

They said they'd monitor it over the next 6 months & I had to provide 3 more samples at 2 monthly intervals. That was another odd experience reporting to the clinic, when everyone else was there because they were trying to get pregnant, but I wasn't. The 2nd & 3rd samples no longer showed me as infertile, but still with very low / borderline fertility. Will never know if it was natural for me, or whether the injury had an impact.
