A Man Donors Sperm to 180 Women But He's still Single
- CCRM
England – A sperm donor who has impregnated nearly 200 women says he paradoxically can’t find a partner, which he attributes to his perennial seed-spreading that makes women jealous.
“It’s very hard to find someone who can tolerate this lifestyle,” the Newcastle native, who simply goes by Donor Joe from the United Kingdom said.
“People say they can handle it, but it makes people very jealous. A woman wants a man to devote themselves to their child – and I’ve got so many of them," Joe added.
Self-dubbed the “angel of the north” due to his mission to help women conceive, the prolific pollinator has reportedly fathered more than 180 kids in 13 years.
The lovelorn Brit, who is not paid for his services, reportedly travels everywhere from the United States to Argentina to Singapore sowing his oats like a veritable Johnny Appleseed of sperm donation.
This comes as women are increasingly turning to private sperm donors to circumvent having to go to the artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization routes, the latter of which can cost upwards of $11,000 in the United States.
Joe remarked that interested parties usually contact him through social media, upon which he asks about their period and other background info.
If the aspiring mother checks out, he sets aside a date for impregnation, for which they can choose either AI (artificial insemination), PI (partial insemination) or NI (natural insemination).
“For some people, the natural insemination is the most effective but some people are in a relationship where they feel that might cause trouble, so they prefer to do an artificial insemination,” the sperminator explained.
He said that he impregnated a couple of women whom he’d never met by sending them sperm via overnight carrier.
Despite the fact that many women want to have his child, the freelance fertilizer has ironically yet to find a life partner. He blames his romantic troubles on the fact that he’s constantly propagating.
Interestingly, the donor says that most of the women he’s dated were originally clients of his – a phenomenon he analogized to “reverse dating” as they’d already made whoopee. Nonetheless, Joe hasn’t given up on finding a soulmate.
“I am hoping I will, one day, meet that special someone who can accept me for who I am someone who wants to have children and can accept my scores of children I already have,” he declared.
For now, Joe says his ultimate goal is to help women who can’t conceive naturally, a prevalent issue throughout the West.
In the United States, one in five women between 15 and 49 years old struggle with infertility.
“I help people all over the UK,” declared Joe, who claims that the children’s welfare is in his best interest as well.
In order to mitigate estrangement, he said he makes an effort to connect with his many offspring both online and in person.
“Out of my 180 kids, I have met more than 60,” he said. “There are some kids that I meet on a daily basis, and there are some that I often talk with on WhatsApp.”
In general, experts warn against going to unlicensed sperm donors due to the associated health, legal and ethical caveats.
“If arrangements are made outside of the clinic environment, there can be medical and legal risks; for example, without the proper consents in place, the donor is likely to be seen as the legal parent, with all the rights and responsibilities that involves,” said a spokesperson for the UK-based Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority.
“Clinics will also rigorously test all donors for medical and hereditary illnesses.”
In fact, some critics have accused Joe of jeopardizing the health and safety of women and their potential children.
