Our fertility doctor told me I have something approaching super sperm and I should be a donor (surprising given my alcohol and drug use over the years). Anyone want a cup of super jizz? (I charge a slab and a pack of darts)

Yep, there’s a DVD player and magazines, even gay pr0n as well! I just used the phone though. You don’t want to take too long but you don’t want to be too quick either, you look like a dirty campaigner I reckon.

I looked for a thread, but it was 7 years old and had gone off the rails.

A friend of mine is married to her (female) partner, and they want to have a kid. They're in the process of figuring out the best way to do it - ie. someone they know, that they have a relationship with, and who may have an ongoing relationship with the child vs whether to go to the bank and get an anonymous donor that they know nothing about... until 18 years later if and when the child wants to find out. They already (mercifully!) ruled out the creepy option where one woman's brother would donate to her partner.


They didn't formally ask me as such, it was more a general "is it something that you'd ever consider?"... but I feel that if my answer had've been "yes, I'd do it" (rather than "I'm not sure, I've never thought about it") it might've become a different conversation.

Has anyone done it for someone they know? Has anyone just made a deposit at the bank? Did anyone do it long enough ago that Victorian law changes have resulted in a child knocking on the door at 18 years old?

I've spent my weekend thinking about it and started to really consider it. I like kids, but I don't love them, don't want to give up my lifestyle for them, and have made my peace with the likelihood it's never going to happen for me - this way you get to have one, and have that connection, but you get to hand it back.

More broadly on considering random donations? Politically, I'd love to say "women can and should do whatever they want"... but realistically? While I think I'd be comfortable donating to a hetero couple or to a lesbian couple... I'm not sure how I'd feel about being the donor for a single woman in her late-30s who just decided that her uterus was reaching its expiration date, so I don't think I'd ever walk into the sperm bank and donate. Ironically, for someone who spent most of my childhood with one parent, I think they at least deserve the chance at having 2 (one of my arguments in favour of same-sex adoption has always been that a child should be so lucky to have 2 loving parents.)

If I were ever going to do it, I feel like this is the perfect scenario - but I'd love to hear from anyone who's done it. And if you've done it for people that you know - how did that work? Both in terms of logistics (do you have to do it formally through a health centre, or can you just make a deposit into a turkey baster at their house?) and in terms of after the birth?

I have been asked before but I don't want children. Even the idea that I supposedly wouldn't have to have anything to do with this child didn't appeal to me either. Knowing my luck, it would come back to bite me at some point.
 
I havent been a donor but I have had to provide a sample. Was pretty uncomfortable. You'e not meant to have Jackyou latered before 48 hours or after 5 days.. Unfortunatley I couldn't resist the day before and had to admit and go back the next day(which was still only 36 hours after).

I had to do this because my wife and I hadnt been able to conceive. After all the tests on both of us it was her ovarian tubes that were blocked. Closed shop. She had an operation today to open them and it was a success. Surgeon is very positive on the work he's done.

Yet the morning she goes in, Im pissing blood...

I don't think you can be paid for your sperm here can you?

Victoria compensates you for costs if you can prove those costs are reasonable.
NZ you get nothing.

Good luck to you and your wife. I had my tubes flushed and conceived Mary the next cycle, it seems to be a massive help with female infertility.

Haven't thought too much about it - dont see myself just up and donating to the bank and haven't had anyone ask for a sample so I guess I'll come to that bridge if it happens

Only just found out the other week a friend of mine is pregnant after going the IVF route but she has no partner - not sure if the donor is someone she knows or random, don't think we're close enough to ask that question - I'm not 100% sold on her decision she is pushing 40 but on the other hand I have no doubt on her ability to raise a.child in a loving house so i guess what are my concerns, really?

Selfish decision.

Is she going to get government benefits for being a single mother?

Her income would drop if she stopped working though?

Family support, childcare,daycare etc

Why does she need to stop working?

Is that a real question?

What sort of person would willingly go out of their way to source sperm so that they could become a single parent only to hand off the baby so they can work? (obviously this is all an assumpotion)

That is not in the best interests of the baby and if that were the case that person would have to seriously reconsider having a child as a mature aged single person.

Of course its a real question. Just checking the level of your misogyny. Woman has baby must stop working. Not in best interest of baby. Such cliched rubbish.

I dont really know if she will or wont (nor do i care) but you jumped straight to the cliche
