What should I ask the donor? I'm new!

 Some of the recipients I deal with are pretty new to the whole process.  Understandably, they don't even know what they should ask.  To help them, here is a basic list of things to consider, and ask the donor. This list is somewhat geared towards donors and recipients interested in Artificial Insemination (AI) donations.  Location/Travel:   Does the donor live nearby?  Remember, sperm cannot survive in a jar longer than 1 hour, and realistically should not be longer than 20 minutes for good chances of conception. If donor is not nearby, are you willing and able to travel to them? Is the donor you picked willing and able to travel to you? Would it be a same-day trip, or require an overnight?  If overnight, where do the recipients or donor stays (at a hotel, at the other person's house, etc)?  More importantly,  where will you inseminate that is within 20 (at most 60) minutes of donation location? Some people get a hotel room, some inseminate ...

Why I only serve as an anonymous sperm donor.

Many potential donation recipients ask why I only donate anonymously. I'm creating this post to help explain why, and address some of their concerns/objections. The main reason to be anonymous-only sperm donor, is  to protect oneself legally against future child support judgements  levied by state government. Unfortunately, the  standing legal precedent in US courts  is that a sperm donor is liable for child support payments,  regardless if any circumstances such as signed agreements .  The donor is liable  even if they sign a contract  with the recipient waving parental rights. The donor is liable  even if the recipient themselves are not seeking child support.  The case is  often brought by the state government, NOT the parents. The  only exception  is if the insemination is performed by the fertility doctor in a clinic. The legal point is that child support is the right of the  child , so neither the "father"/donor...

Why do I help women by donating sperm?

  People often ask me why I chose to become a sperm donor, or why I donate? There are multiple reasons (humans are complicated that way :) Since I really enjoy being a parent, it is an honor to assist someone who wishes to have and raise a child, to experience same joy. I get to have the privilege of literally gifting someone a gift of life. I know that some women/couples can become great parents, but are not wealthy enough to afford sperm banks (which can cost thousands of dollars). I can offer those women help that they need, since I do not charge anything as a donor - all of my donations are 100% free if done locally.  I'm a product of literally hundreds of millions years of evolution, all honed in on one purpose: propagate my genes. Anyone who donates sperm who does not admit to this motivation is either lying to you, or to themselves. As an extra bonus, I have pretty good genes to give to any offspring. How did my serving as a donor start?   A lesbian friend of mine ...

How to get me to ship sperm to you

As I discussed earlier on this blog, I  almost never ship sperm . In short, the main reasons are because: Shipping is quite expensive I only donate anonymously .  The only way for me to maintain my anonymity is to have full costs of shipping pre-paid by recipient Donating locally is more likely to work.  So on a given day, if there is a choice, I will donate locally instead of ship, always Shipping is a hassle for me For detailed explanations of all that,  see the blog link above If you absolutely, positively, definitely need me to ship to you, you need to: Pre-pay for UPS Air Next Day (or Next Day Early) label  from UPS center of my choice, to you. Send me the cost of shipping kit  (plus the seller's shipping charge if they don't offer free shipping)  in advance, anonymously, via PayPal/Venmo ; accepting the risk that comes with such arrangement. Alternately, come up with another way which allows me to preserve my anonymity and avoid the risk of losin...

Do you ship?

The answer to "Do you ship?" question is " Almost never ". Before we even start talking about  me, m y advice is,  you  will be better off (less risk AND likely less cost) simply traveling to New York City/New Jersey for in-person AI donation, rather than trying to deal with shipping . This post is to explain why I almost never ship. It will also cover what can be done to make me be willing to ship to you in case you legitimately cannot travel and thus  cannot take my advice above . The main reasons I avoid shipping are because Shipping almost never works.  It's usually a waste of my time and your money While I donate sperm  for free,  that does not mean I am willing to use my own money to pay for shipping - you would have to cover the  (pretty large) costs of shipping  yourself I only donate as anonymous donor , which means I can't give you my address to ship the kit to me. This means I have to buy the kit myself with my own money. I have be...
