If you are one of the roughly 141 million Americans whose body produces sperm, the substance likely seems abundant and cheap. For the rest of us, it is very much neither.
That has always been true, especially if one is discerning. But now, the coronavirus pandemic is creating a shortage, sperm banks and fertility clinics said. Men have stopped going in as much to donate, even as demand has stayed steady at some banks and increased rapidly at others.
“We’ve been breaking records for sales since June worldwide not just in the U.S. — we’ve broken our records for England, Australia and Canada,” said Angelo Allard, the compliance supervisor of Seattle Sperm Bank, one of the country’s biggest sperm banks. He said his company was selling 20 percent more sperm now than a year earlier, even as supplies dwindled.

And so in the capitalist crunch, Sperm World — the world of people buying and selling sperm — has gotten wild. Donors are going direct to customers. They meet with prospective mothers-to-be in Airbnbs for an afternoon handoff; Facebook groups with tens of thousands of members have sprung up.
The reason I know this at all is simple enough: I am 32 years old, partnered to a woman, stuck at home and in the market for the finest sperm I can get.

It’s overdue.
Afternoon “handoff” eh?
I thought women could do anything men can do... must have been mislead somehow.
Every sperm is sacred...
I’ll come back later, to see the jokes and snarky comments about this subject.
You mean being Male? You cannot even say Man, Woman, Male, Female, Mother, Father...this society is very sick.
We have a combination of Ancient Rome and pre-Revolutionary War going on at the same time.
Tell these people that Conservative men are 90% of sperm donors. It will scare the hell out them. Anything to keep these freaks from reproducing…..
Only if you want to read something truly stupid today though.
“an afternoon handoff”
So that’s what it’s called these days!? “Hey, babe...ready for the handoff?”
‘People Want College-Educated Sperm’
Proof positive liberals believe in the Bell Curve though they will not admit to it.
“The reason I know this at all is simple enough: I am 32 years old, partnered to a woman, stuck at home and in the market for the finest sperm I can get.”
It’s a real mystery where this went wrong, isn’t it. A lesbian past the age of 30 is struggling to get knocked up. Maybe she should wait another 10 years.
All the poor young men who were misled into believing the seed of their loin were going to be used by beautiful heterosexual women... Subjecting babies from the moment they are born into a deviant leftist household is cruel and unusual punishment. I am calling for a sperm bank boycott!
A non-problem with an obvious solution:
Ship-to-home donation vials and UBER/LYFT pickup/transport to the nearest medical facility.

“And so in the capitalist crunch, Sperm World — the world of people buying and selling sperm — has gotten wild.”
Capitalist crunch?
What is Nellie Bowle trying to say?
These New York Times writers and articles are idiocy.
I think I see an easy solution.
No kidding!
“...They meet with prospective mothers-to-be in Airbnbs for an afternoon handoff..”
So that’s how they get their samples!😎
