How to Make Money from Sperm Donation

This is not easy to do as movies would have you believe. The movie scenes where a female medical employee simply hands you a small plastic container for you to put your sperm on together with some pornographic magazines and then guides you to a room where you ejaculate sperm and hand it over to the counter then collect your cash is all fantasy.


Donor Requirements

In the first place not anyone can be a sperm donor. You have to qualify to become a sperm donor. Sperm banks look for certain physical and mental attributes from donors. A donor must meet a certain height requirement like being at least 5 foot 9 and must at least have college level education. There are also age requirements such as being in the range of 18 to 35 years old.

Of course the physical appearance of a donor must match what the sperm buyer wants. In the US for example most require caucasian donors as most recipients are white couples.

A donor must also have a healthy weight and is all around healthy. Donors are required to provide their health and medical information. They are also required to provide their lifestyle information especially their sexual lifestyle.

One is required to not be a cigarette or tobacco smoker as well as to not be a drug user of any form. One also cannot be a heavy drinker of alcohol.

If one passes these initial requirements by the sperm bank they may be asked to provide free samples of their sperm for testing. If they eventually pass they can expect to be paid up to about $200.00 per donation. This however is not easy cash as a donor needs to fulfil continuous obligations like being regularly medically checked.

A donor must be able to produce twice the amount of sperm a regular man normally produces. Even though you can be very healthy and is able to produce sperm almost on a daily basis sperm banks often limit donations per donor. Do not expect that you can replace your daily earnings from a regular job by being just a sperm donor.

The donor would often need to sign a contract to donate regularly every week for a period from 6 months to a year. Sometimes the sperm bank will hold payments to the donor to ensure that the donor complies to their donation obligation. If you are a donor make sure to read the payment terms of your contract in case you need your payment to be paid on demand.


Potential Earnings

If you are from the US you can expect to earn from $1,000 to $1,500 per month. Read this article from Vox where they interviewed a sperm donor from America who was able to earn $1,000 per month for a year from just donating his sperm. The title of the article is Odd Job: Can a man earn a living on sperm donation alone? This guy did.


Conclusion

As explained only certain genetically gifted men can earn money from donating sperm. One can however setup an agency to act as an intermediary between the sperm donors, sperm recipients and the medical organisations involved and earn money.

If you are interested to become a sperm donor or to setup your own agency checkout this agency: Sunshine Egg Donation Agency to get an idea.
