Men - Have you ever donated sperm?

I have donated to four different lesbians; but never through intercourse. Three conceived successfully. Anyone else?

I haven't, and I'm not planning on doing it ever. The combination of my relationships and my own values, desires, needs, etc. have amounted to a personal decision of not having children. And because of that, I wouldn't want to know that I've given life through my sperm.

Yes, to many women over the years. LOL 😉😁

Never done so and certainly never ever planning on doing so.

This was a decision I came to decades ago when still young enough to be considered a healthy donor. Aside from deciding that there were far far too many people on the Earth as is and that I certainly needn't contribute to advancing the plague of over-population, I also never wanted to be in a position where some total unknown ends up tracking me down as a sperm donor and thinks it gives them some nebulous right to intrude on my life or think it amounts to a special relationship or entitlement on their part towards me.

The idea alone sends shivers of dread up my spine. And who knows what kind of legislation might be enacted in the future outlining obligations of sperm donors towards any potential offspring? Because sadly, because of present-day emotionality and sentimental wishy-washyness, I do see that very possibly happening. And there you'd be, with a total unknown making who knows what kind of binding claims on you.

So, no thanks. Never at all.

Only in my fantasies with help from an hot assistant.

I have “donated” lots of sperm but only in the recreational sense, never in the medical or purposeful sense that I assume this question is referring too. I agree with others that there are too many moral, legal and emotional factors that could come into play after the fact…

@Morty - how were they inseminated? By a doctor? Or by a home madem injector,-(or what ever you would call such a thing)?

Probably not what they used, but there are home insemination products available (I suspect this is a much more clinical application):

@Morty - how were they inseminated?

Well, I wasn't there (even though I came), but in each case, they left with my seed in a specimen cup. I asked them about the protocol, but essentially they inserted it with a syringe, spent some time in a position to retain the deposit, and induced orgasm (no details) to promote the action of the cervix sucking the sperm into the uterus. They were very grateful and pleasant to work with.

I would donate sperm…and I did have to give sperm for a motility test, or some kinda test, at 18, after I had a really high fever, when I had the chicken pocks…that was hotly embarrassing, because the nurse at my family doctor (who I always thought wanted to see me naked, lol) got to, ummm, help out with that test…if anybody wants to hear THAT story…

Only into to my wifes mouth….lol

Every time it was a DONATION, since I never got paid for it.

Did have two costly donations…..but they left home on time, so all is good. 🙄

No never. I'm pretty sure at 5 foot 8 I'd be too short to donate to a sperm bank anyway. They have so many donors they only accept from the most desirable men these days.

I have, but many years ago..in the 1980's. I donated sperm to a lesbian for 8 months before she finally became pregnant. Also one other time to a lesbian couple, but they ended up deciding to use a sperm bank.

A little off topic but interesting. A colleague went to an IVF clinic to give sperm to be used on his wife. He went into the collection room with a can of Coke. In the heat of the moment he knocked over the can and it went all over the floor. When he left the room he said to the staff “You will probably need a mop in there. I have made a big mess!” As they did not know about the Coke you can imagine the surprise!

No never donated but have received

I would not do that personally. I couldn't help bring a child into this world if I wasn't going to raise it. Nothing personal to sperm donors, it just isn't something I could do personally.

No I have thought about it.

Only to a sperm bank in NYC back in the 1970’s because I might need it for my wife to conceive if my prostate disease eventually caused inadequate sperm counts or motility. Never had to use it because my sperm in the 1990’s turned out to be extremely healthy and competent and rapidly fertilized my wife’s eggs to give us 2 pregnancies.

Not me but my son donated sperm and his wife donated eggs. They hoped to artificially inseminate a surrogate following her cancer and inability to bear children. Didn’t find one and ended up adopting a very beautiful - and lucky - 3 day old baby boy!

Dont know if either of their donations were ever used, or what the ethics would be in doing so.

Yes, I donated sperm back in the late 80's. Once it was done anonymously, but I also donated to a lesbian who was known to me. It took about 9 months for her to get pregnant, and she ended up having a baby girl. For the first year I was involved in the child's life, but the mom became more and more unhappy that she had to “share” the child. Let's just say that it did not go well.

Yes and I think I was paid around $25 per deposit by the clinic back in the 1980s. I was in college and I needed the money. I didn’t touch any of the magazines but I put movies in. The first couple of times I had difficulty finishing because I kept hearing people in the hallway and it was awkward because the movie had no sound.
