He &#8216;donates&#8217; to the women in multiple ways; in addition to mailing sperm to women for artificial insemination, he also engages in &#8220;natural intercourse,&#8221; meaning he has sex with the women, and &#8220;partial intercourse,&#8221; meaning sex with the women but &#8216;without kissing or cuddling.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NGhbcTGZmkI?si=y7KGzwrOESk_-seM\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople contact me on Facebook or Instagram or email me and ask me for help and I usually will ask them about their period,&#8221; he said. \u201cI use the start date for all my calculations and I put that in my calculator and then we work out a date to meet and we discuss exactly how they want to go about doing it. For some people the natural insemination is the most effective but some people are in a relationship where they feel that might cause trouble, so they prefer to do an artificial insemination. I help people all over the UK. Right now I have a couple of women who are pregnant because I sent them my sperm by overnight courier. So I got those women pregnant without ever meeting them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joe Donor doesn&#8217;t charge the women for his &#8216;services&#8217; but he does ask to be reimbursed for his expenses.\u00a0He&#8217;s estimated to have fathered 180 children, if not more, of whom he has met more than 60. &#8220;There are some kids that I meet on a daily basis and there are some that I often talk with on WhatsApp,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Though he&#8217;s based in the United Kingdom, Joe&#8217;s children are international; he has traveled to America, Argentina, Italy, Singapore, and the Philippines to have sex with women to father their children, and doesn&#8217;t give any indication that he plans to stop. On one trip to Australia, he had plans to meet with 15 women. Unsurprisingly, he said it&#8217;s hard to find a woman willing to tolerate his &#8220;lifestyle.&#8221; He went through a divorce five years ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/woman-life-collapsed-conceived-donor-sperm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Woman said her \u2018life collapsed\u2019 when she learned she was conceived by donor sperm<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am still single,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;People say they can handle it, but it makes people very jealous.

It is unclear if he or the women he has sex with have to prove they are STD-free.<\/p>\n<p>Though assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been used more than ever before in history, including using donor eggs and sperm, the children born from these techniques are not enthusiastic about it. One <a href=\"https:\/\/bioethics.hms.harvard.edu\/journal\/donor-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a>, from Harvard Medical School, found that 62% of children born after being conceived through donor technologies consider it to be immoral and unethical.
