No. 1: The Genetic Parent

Mike Rubino, 47, artist, sperm donor, father of untold numbers of children

I might have 10 kids, or I might have 50 kids. I have no idea. For sure I know about seven kids through six different mothers who live in six different states, from New York to Hawaii. I donated sperm once or twice a week for about five years in the early 1990s. Before that, I was one of those people who spent their life savings on fertility treatments, trying to get my ex-wife pregnant, to no avail. She was infertile, but I wasn't. We felt that by donating, I could help couples going through what we went through, plus pay for groceries for the week. Each time I gave a sample, I was aware, Wow, there could be a child produced from this. And I told the sperm bank I was open to having contact with any of them after they turned 18.

“”My parents left that one up to the nuns at my school.””

And that was a good thing;) The word “SEX” was not even written down in newsprint - now our kids are exposed to every possible computation....and what is it with those Viagra ads????

Sheeeeeeeeeesh

IMHO sex lost its panache when it stopped being private!

Yeah - even showing a pregnant person was taboo until the Lucille Ball show.

Whatever happened to learning about sex from other ignorant kids on the street they way you’re supposed to?
