I was driving back home from the gym today listening to the radio, and an advertisement came one asking if you were a guy in your twenties with some college experience, this donation center would give you a thousand dollars for your sperm donation. I'm 20, and just finished sophomore year of college, and am flat out broke so I was about to get the lotion out from the glove department. I mean, how incredibly easy money is that? Just go to the donation center, fill out some paperwork and give them my juice. But then I started thinking


My semen would be going to a women who will probably use it to get pregnant, which means I would have a child that is technically mine, but being raised by strangers I would likely never know. I would be a father with living DNA even though i've never had sex, which distraught me behind the wheel so I stopped thinking about it. But I couldn't stop thinking about it. I mean could I live with myself with that thought? Could I live the rest of my youth knowing my semen impregnated a women who I know nothing about? What happens if the child shows up on my doorstep in 20 years when i'm an old man because he wanted to meet his biological father, how would I react? What would I spend the money on? What is the likelihood of this child turning out more successful then me?

I think my semen would be a decent candidate for people but I probably couldn't ever do it because those all those thoughts scared me. Do sperm donors not care about these? I don't know what type of mindset they have.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

No, I don't want children.
Whether I know them or not

 

[entremet]

How tall and good looking are you?

Apparently some have height requirements. Welcome to the cold reality as only being seen for your genetic potential!

Personally? Not sure.

 

[John Kowalski]

Take it, it's free of charge

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Never.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Tell your kid you used the money to buy a Switch and PSVR. Don't forget to thank him!

 

[Unbounded]

Height, race, education, looks, etc.

Unless you're in the top tier for all of these nobody wants your jizz.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

No, it would be a net disservice

 

[WaterAstro]

Wasn't there a movie about this?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Hell no.

 

[Kayhan]

Taller than 6 feet. Has STEM PhD. Good looking.

COME AND GET IT LADIES

Not paying for 18 years. Sign these papers.

 

[Freshmaker]

There is a price. No mastery of your domain for three weeks before the deposit.

 

[Earthbound64]

This.

It's less a matter of "Would you?" and more of "Would they want you to?"

I'm gonna need at least ten k

 

[Alcotholic]

Id do it- Ive always liked the idea. I dont care if I dont see my bastard children and the money is cool.

 

[Easton Dark]

All day every day.

It's not like there's some psychic link between you and a child created with your sperm. 0 reason to care who they turn out to be.

 

[#sorrynotsorry]

If you don't want to, don't. But that kid will never show up on your doorstep so that should not be a concern. You'll be helping someone who wants to be a mother bring life into the world. In all likelihood it will be a good life. You'll never know of course, but that's for the best.

I don't think I would have when I was 20. But who knows.

 

[entremet]

Height, race, education, looks, etc.

While true, one of the most prolific sperm donors wasn't a super looker.

[Darth Pinche]

Never have done it but if was back in my 20's, I would do it, no problem.

That kid may have half of my DNA, but that does not make me their father. I view it similar to adoption. The parents are the ones who are there to raise the child.

If we ever set up our own Gaf supported sperm bank this should be in the brochure.

 

[Charcoal]

Of course. As if I need another reason to tug the pud.

 

[ThisGuy]

Do it.

 

[cwmartin]

I've had my semen tested for fertility reasons. The process is real awkward, but I don't really see a huge moral issue with it. Even if your sperm was used or not used, you would never be told.

Assuming this is for fertility clinics or for the purpose of pregnancy. It is possible your sperm would be used for other research purposes.

 

[psyfi]

I'd charge $5 at least

 

[Abstrusity]

I bet if you rephrase it to "Would you donate your sperm if a porn star 'helped'" might change some answers.

25 years later you're dating a 23-year-old, only to find out that she's your biological daughter.

is this code-word that I cant masturbate for three weeks?

WHY

 

[cyress8]

Get that money. Would be there at the crack of dawn, pre-cumming, if they would give me a $1000. Wish I was young again.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Only the way God intended, and if she was super hot and disease-free, and she'd never have anything to do with me ever again.

 

[Fenderputty]

This seems like a "never say never" scenario. Currently I would say no. When I was broke and in college, maybe, but I had some help during those years so it wasn't needed. If I was currently broke and in major need of cash, Yes.

 

[Easton Dark]

25 years later you're dating a 23-year-old, only to find out that she's your biological daughter.

Life's not an anime.

 

[Permanently A]

Yeah, but I'm not white so nobody would want it.

 

[GamerJM]

This is a pretty hard no for me.

 

[Nowise10]

Am I correct in assuming you don't get to know anything about who gets your sperm? I feel like that is the biggest deterrent.

 

[100%TrophyMaster]

Only the way God intended, and if she was super hot and disease-free, and she'd never have anything to do with me ever again.

I'm sorry to break this to you but she's a cup. But the hottest and most disease free cup you'll ever meet and she won't ever see you again!

 

[Earthbound64]

Life's not an anime.

That's what you think.

 

[Akainu]

My semen would be going to a women who will probably use it to get pregnant, which means I would have a child that is technically mine, but being raised by strangers I would likely never know.

Probably? I would hope thats what it's being used for.

 

[Kickz]

No, I want to raise my spawn.

 

[Spenny]

I have. I only made about $700 dollars a month though. There's a lot of things that play into what you make or if they accept your sperm at all. I'm white, tall, moderately attractive, and have a desirable eye color so I was good to go. Now that I have a degree I would probably make even more.

 

[michaelius]

No - you might be putting yourself into a real mess with the law as in some countries being donor doesn't save you from being treated as father of the child for all legal purposes.

 

[Kor of Memory]

In all seriousness, what does something like this pay?

 

[Earthbound64]

Probably? I would hope thats what it's being used for.

There's no guarantee that she will get pregnant from it, though.

 

[Ensirius]

No - you might be putting yourself into a real mess with the law as in some countries being donor doesn't save you from being treated as father of the child for all legal purposes.

Well that settles it LMAO

 

[Kaako]

As the only heir that could pass on the family name, I made my decision a while back. Told the family that the lineage dies with me.
No, I will not donate my sperm.

 

[Spenny]

In all seriousness, what does something like this pay?

It all depends on your genetics. Are you a minority, fat, short (under 6ft), or a ginger? If so, don't bother setting a foot into the center. From there you get pay increases depending on your education (PhDs make the big bucks), hair & eye color, and overall fitness. They pretty much treat you like a piece of meat.

Most people won't be making the $1000 dollars that centers advertise. I think the average is $300-$500 a month.

 

[Not]

Males of Gaf

Where do you think you are, Reddit? Males on GAF pshaw

 

[Kevtones]

It's one of the many ways I get paid for dropping a load.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

That's gonna be a no from me dawg. I don't need some child/adult coming to find me years from now.

 

[Phu]

How else are gaffers expected to pass on their genes if not from donating sperm?
