Would you ever consider being a sperm or egg donor?

Say you got a good sum of money for it and your identity could remain completely anonymous (if you want to).

I was actually considering it lol, still thinking about it. Barely get any money from it though in the UK compared to the US where you can get up to $10,000 for it, more if you're were a good student and attractive. 😨

For guys its just a wank and squirt in a condom lol (and no you don't earn as much as women in this case for obvious reasons lol)

Girls have a longer process of hormone injection to produce more eggs and birth control pills to become in sync with the buyer and then under anaesthesia the doctor uses a needle to pump out the eggs.


So would you? Why? Why not? And if you or your partner were unable to produce kids, would you opt for IVF or adoption?
Yes I would be a donor if the offer was good.

  • Hmm. I would probably be a good model if not for my age, but I am not sure if I would be comfortable passing along my genes without knowing where they are going.
    Besides, if females usually release one to possibly two eggs per month, that sounds like a lot of work (i. e. sacrifice of health and time) for either a complete stranger or money alone.

    On another note, I once read that the intelligence gene is actually related to the X chromosome, so choosing a good female model - unless you just don't care either way - seems particularly relevant.

  • Absolutely, but I don't think financial compensation is needed. Medical costs to be covered yes but I feel that this type of thing should be a gift from those who have thoroughly thought it through, not those looking for an easy way to make money.

    • For women it isn't necessarily an easy way to make money since the process can be quite painful sometimes and it takes quite some time to do it. Usually it's more meant to cover financial loss for missing out work for instance (in the UK that is)

  • I don't like the idea of children that are at least half mine walking around on earth and not knowing them. Maybe if it was for a friend or a family member who wanted dna close to her own.

  • This is simple. As a man, this is our purpose in life. The only reason I wouldn't is thinking that someone might abuse my offspring. I don't think I could do it without being able to look after her in some way. Even being pen pals later on would be cool then leave it up to them whether to meet. For about half the population in my impoverished area, the father's might as well be sperm donors. Their saggy pants covered butts are in and out of jail and knocking up more in between. Sorry... tangent

    • A lot of donors these days can't be completely anonymous and the offspring have a right by law to find their biological parents if they want to. But yeah I see where you're coming from, thats just what I was contemplating on.

  • Why not. I see it more like lending a hammer out of my toolbox to someone without a hammer or with a broken hammer. The construction build with the hammer lend from me is still the emotional hard work of the person that used the lended hammer, not mine... But would love to see the construction every now and then :-)

  • If I was a doner of eggs would they be pumping out all of my eggs? or just one?

    • Women produce around 500,000 eggs in their life time so taking out all of them would be impossible. And women can always produce more eggs (unless they have a disorder that prevents it). Usually they take anywhere from 5-15 (that would go during your period anyway) if there's no intense hormone treatment, and up to 40 if there is an intense hormone treatment that makes your body produce more eggs.

    • Normally you release one egg per cycle, they would put you on medication that would stimulate your ovaries to release more eggs, approx. 10, these are harvested and used for the donation. They warn you _not_ to have sex during that phase, your womb is not a town hall.

    • @Boromir lmao 10 babies at a time sounds life threatening

  • Yes, I would be a donor.
    I won't have kids, so at least I could help people who couldn't have them. I could make someone happy.

  • Is be a donor. I never want kids, so they can have my eggs.

    I doubt id fit the profile though, as Im likely infertile anyways.

  • Sure, I think I'd be cool with donating. If we were unable to have children ourselves, I would prefer to adopt.

  • No can't 😭That's my baby, my genes

    • it will be a cute baby though. lol

  • I would donate to a friend.

  • There have been cases where sperm donors have been made to pay child support.

  • No I can't stand the thought of my kid getting coupled with like a lesbian couple. No offense to them. Its just to weird and sacred to me.

    • Out of all the possible scenarios, I like how lesbian is the 1 that scared you 😳

  • Yes, definitely. I want to give others who can't otherwise have kids to have the chance to.

  • I've heard horror stories... so no thanks. Sometimes people should just accept that they have bad genes and adopt instead.

  • i would have been before the law changed stating the baby has a right to track you down when they grow up

  • I was actually thinking about it recently for the money, but to think how long the processis, and also how there will be humans out there with my dna and I don't have any emotional connection to them is heatbreaking to me. I couldn't go through with it no matter how much I need the money:/

  • Eh, the idea of there being a bunch of random kids out there with my DNA kinda freaks me out. Also I am under 6 feet and not that attractive so I doubt I would be able to make a lot of money off it. It's mostly lucrative for the succesful male model kind of guys.

  • Nope. :/

  • No. My sperms are not for sale.

  • Hello no. Several cases now where men are paying child support for donating sperm.

  • Yeah sure.. I can't have any kids and my eggs are good.

  • I never really thought about it.

  • It's not really something I'm probably going to do, but I get paid to jerk off... not a bad proposition

  • No I have no eggs to give.
