Men: Have you ever donated to a sperm bank?

I wonder what the staff would tell me if I told them something along the lines of, “Er, you wouldn't happen to have some material depicting women crying as they're being spanked or penetrated anally, would you?”

Or what they would think.

. o O (Gosh I hope this sick bastard's infertile.)

Or Possibly - “I wonder what he's doing tonight???”

I've never donated, in my younger years I did think about it but never followed through.

Father of a classmate said her father, who was a doctor, and good looking made a lot of money donating to a sperm bank when he was in medical school & residency. He was in high demand, some couples asking for him for the second kid. He said to my friend, "Never marry anyone from St Louis."

No.

I haven't. I am neither narcissistic enough nor financially strapped to want to do so. Ah, and I also don't want to contribute to humankind's future given the state of the world. (No, I don't have kids of my own.)

There was a cartoon in Playboy magazine years ago, showing a well-dressed, refined looking woman walking into a sperm bank and looking with alarm and concern at a seedy type guy coming out gleefully counting his money.

Back in college in the 1900s, I thought about doing this to earn some extra money. My girlfriend at the time (who both of us were convinced would be my wife someday, which never happened, but that is a story for another day) was totally okay with this. Maybe I told her I would buy her an outfit with the money....

Anyway, I went to the clinic in the San Francisco Bay Area, where we went to college. It was very professional and very clinical. There were adult magazines and maybe VHS tapes (remember, this was the 90s) in the room. It was sort of weird, but I produced the sample.

Days later, they told me I was not qualified. I don’t remember it verbatim, but I have repeated some version of this over the years to girlfriends, since it was relevant. Essentially, they said they could not accept me because I had a low sperm count, but that should not prevent me from having children in the future. I do have two kids, so I guess they were right.

I have no recollection of how much money I would have gotten, but reading some of the horror stories here, I suppose that I dodged a sperm bullet.

No I have never donated at a sperm bank .

This topic is about donating to a sperm bank. Replies saying that there were donations "to a female" have been removed for being off topic. So if you don't see your reply...that is why.

I would have loved to, but having a vasectomy rather eliminates you as a candidate

No . This would , to me personally , be like ' selling my kids ' .

I donated to a research program when I was an undergraduate many years ago for extra money about once a month and they said it would be destroyed after they finished whatever they were researching which I think was motility and sperm count, but I never joined a DNA site because I don't know for sure what they did? It was like a room at a medical clinic except they had soft core magazines and the female staff person pointed them out the first time and said I had 20 or 30 minutes I don't remember but the first couple of times I had trouble finishing because the chair was of course made of plastic and uncomfortable and I kept wondering if someone was going to walk in. It got easier as I got to know a couple of the people working there and I was handed an envelope with my name on it after I gave the specimen cup. They did tell me later I had a good sperm count and good motility and I only stopped after moving away. They were proven correct because I fathered 5 children.

Not to a bank. But I've made a lot of sperm deposits in the walking mobile field units.

No and I never will. Too many Netflix specials makes me scared to now! 🤣
