HEADING to a house in west London two nights ago, 49-year-old Joe Donor banged on the door - knowing what was going to happen.
Opening it to Joe was a lesbian couple hed never met before.
6
Their only wish was to have a baby together - and Joe, who they had tracked down on his personal Facebook page advertising his sperm donor services, was their best bet.
So, he took one of the women upstairs and, despite never having met before (and her partner being mere metres away), they had full sex on the bed.
He then left with his trademark comment: Good luck and I hope you have good news in two weeks.
It was PI, he told Fabulous.
6
By that he means partial intercourse - sex without kissing or cuddling.
He also has NI, natural intercourse, and AI, artificial intercourse.
Natural intercourse is really full sex, like you might have on a first date, Joe said. So no bedroom gymnastics, but kissing and cuddling. Artificial intercourse is when you use a turkey baster.
He added a lot of people wanted to be inseminated the old-fashioned way - but he only has STI checks once a year (although more frequently if asked).
And he admitted he doesnt do background checks on the people he is potentially impregnating, adding: I think having a baby makes people more mature. I dont do any checks on them though.
Asked when he last had sex (two nights ago), he was surprisingly coy about how many people he had made love to.
Its more than the average person but there are people who have more. Theres some sultans out there who have more.
Its fewer than 200, he laughed. Im not a rockstar and Im very respectful.
Single Joe, who uses a pseudonym, revealed he had 150 kids worldwide and had impregnated a further five women during lockdown.
Its more than the average person but there are people who have more. Theres some sultans out there who have more, he said.
His name is on a few, not many birth certificates and he wouldnt mind if the children called him daddy but he doesnt really see many of them often. They have my DNA, of course, he said. But I leave it up to the mothers. If they want to send me pictures, great. If they block me as soon as Ive done the deed, thats okay too.
Joe, who anonymously donates his sperm by concealing his real name, said he wasnt paid for his actions but did it to help.
He set up his business 12 years ago after realising he wanted to benefit people - but shockingly his parents dont know although are aware I have a few kids.
6
He denied it was about ego, explaining: "I have about 150 kids worldwide but there's currently five women pregnant with my children and one already born.
I enjoy seeing more of my children running around.
I dont think there is an inordinate amount of ego associated with it.
Some of them call me daddy, some dont.
Ive met about 50 of them, Ive seen some of them when they were born, but not since.
He wasnt slowed down by the pandemic, despite being stuck in Argentina - instead opting to sow his seed there.
6
"I feel busier than ever, he said. "I love seeing photos of the babies when they're born as a lot of them do look like me.
"I don't financially gain from providing my sperm to women, I just enjoy helping people.
"Luckily I run a few online businesses so I'm always available and can provide sperm whenever they're ovulating.
"I had travelled to Argentina to provide sperm to a few women who had contacted me online but I ended up getting stuck there until international flights resumed a few weeks ago.
"I'm now in the UK for a few weeks and hope to help as many people as possible fall pregnant."
Unfortunately, the nature of his work has meant he hasnt managed to maintain his own long-term relationship with his last ending in November last year.
6
That was with a woman in her 20s when I was living in Australia, he explained. We were going out for about six months but its ended. When we were in the relationship I didnt have sex with other women, but it was difficult.
He admitted sometimes his impregnation sessions could lead into longer relationships, but they almost always ended when people wanted something more stable.
I dont have a girlfriend in the typical sense, he said. But I do develop friendships and sometimes romantic relationships with the women I impregnate, he added.
With five women currently pregnant with Joe unborn children and one woman already giving birth this summer, Joe is on target to impregnate 10 women this year.
However, it is not all plain-sailing with some women lying to their men about meeting Joe, he said.
Hes been caught out trying to impregnate women behind their partners back.
I think having a baby makes people more mature. I dont do any checks on them though.
He denies any wrongdoing in relation to this.
I dont pry into peoples personal matters, he said. Im not the one cheating or lying in the relationship. Its themHe told of one incident where he went to impregnate a woman only to learn her husband didnt want one.
So basically she had arranged an orgy because she didnt want him to know the truth - that it was just her and me and she was planning to get pregnant, he said.
But when the husband found out the truth he started waving a gun about - and Joe only just managed to escape.
Joe has travelled across America, Argentina, Italy, Singapore, The Philippines and the UK donating his sperm.
He added: "I have babies all over the world and although people always worry over incestual issues but that has never happened.
6
"I started donating sperm in 2008 and have fathered on average 10 children per year.
"I have always said I wouldn't father more than 2500 but that would technically be impossible unless I live until the age of 250.
"I aim to donate my sperm for as long as it works which could be until I'm in my 90s."
Talking about safe sex, Joe opts to have yearly medical checks.
He adds: "I have a health check at least annually but if a woman requests more frequent testing, I will have another check on demand.
"There's always a risk as what I'm doing isn't regulated but women have checks during pregnancy too so they'd soon find out if they'd contracted a sexually transmitted disease, which has never happened."
Joe is hoping to head back to his hometown of America after his UK trip but says he's happy to travel anywhere in the world to donate his sperm.
He added: "I'm contacted by women all over the world via Facebook or email.
"I don't mind travelling as I can work wherever I need to in the world.
"I'm hoping that as lockdown eases in some parts of the world again that it'll be easier to travel more frequently."
HOW DOES SPERM DONATION WORK IN THE UK?
In the UK, donation in exchange for payment is prohibited by law.
If you donate your sperm through a fertility clinic or a sperm bank, you wont have any responsibilities or rights towards a child conceived using your semen.
However, as of April 2005, children conceived through sperm donation do have the right to ask for certain information about their donor once they reach the age of 16.
You can find the clinic that is best for you through theHuman Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) licensed clinic.
Every year, around 2,000 children are conceived with the help of a donor.
Donated sperm cannot be used to create more than 10 families, with no limits on the number of children born within each family.
