His lifestyle choice has come at a cost, as he can't have a full-time job or maintain a love life.
A sperm donor from Newcastle, UK who has fathered 180 children, said he's made a lot of sacrifices to help women get pregnant. Joe Donor, who doesn't want to reveal his surname, revealed his struggle with loneliness and life as a sperm donor. According to Metro, the 52-year-old has been donating sperm for 13 years, using various methods including natural insemination, partial insemination, and artificial insemination.
However, this lifestyle choice has come at a cost, as he can't have a full-time job or maintain a love life. ''You always have to be ready should a lady suddenly ovulate – [there's] no time for romance,'' he explained.
While his journey has been fulfilling, he says he has been subject to cruel remarks, with many assuming that he is into it only for sex.
