Sperm donors help fuel the fertility industry, but they don't do it for free. If you're eligible, you can earn extra income by providing samples to companies that will, in turn, sell your sperm to needy couples. This practice has been going on for decades and the need for sperm donation continues to grow.
You don't have to be brilliant or gorgeous to make money selling sperm. You don't have to fit any ethnic profile. However, there are some basic qualifications which make you appropriate for sperm donation. Once you've met those qualifications, selling sperm is as easy as finding the company and practices that suit your lifestyle.
There is some confusion over the legal responsibilities of recruited sperm donors, but they don't apply to anonymous donors.
Instructions
1. Find a buying sperm bank. You can find places to sell your sperm online or by contacting a local fertility clinic. Find a link to one in the References section. Simply ask for banks or clinics currently purchasing or selling samples. Typically, sperm banks will require that you live within an hour's drive of the clinic and that you are available to make deposits in the laboratory six to eight times per month for at least six months.
2. Shop around. If you have a particular talent, aptitude, or accomplishment, you may find higher quality sperm banks are interested in you. If you have no such talents, do not be discouraged. A clean bill of health is the most important qualification.
3. Contact the clinic. Each sperm purchaser will have their own set of guidelines for who they will accept. Typically, sperm donors must be over 18 years old, but under 44. Age is becoming more important to sperm dealers as associations between autism and paternal age become more evident.
You should also be in good health. A family history of mental or physical disorders will likely disqualify you from any donation program. Because your family history is crucial to your inclusion in the program, you will be eliminated from consideration if you were adopted. Be honest when you report your family history. Failure to disclose a disorder like schizophrenia could result in years of heartache for the buying family.
4. Apply to become a donor. The company that purchases your sperm will likely have an in-depth application process for sperm donors. You will likely be asked to either participate in a physical with one of their doctors or to provide medical records from your own doctor. You will also need to provide a great deal of information about your family medical history.
5. Review the contract. Not all sperm banks share the same process or compensation rates. Make sure you are agreeing to terms and activities you are comfortable with.
6. Create and sell your sample. The bank you choose to sell your sperm to will have an established routine for donors. Make sure you follow their guidelines perfectly.
7. Keep selling. There is no rule saying you can only sell to one clinic or bank. You should, however, disclose to any potential buying clinic that you have sold your sperm elsewhere. It may be necessary for your sperm to be transported to another location to avoid complications.
