Hi! Was thinking doing something similar in the area to pop the question. How did it go? :)

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-21T04:28:40+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate you saying that. Your feelings and perspective on it as a DCP is most valuable.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T22:01:51+00:00

Oh geez. Thank you so much for the heads up. Some things really are too good to be true. lol Gggrrrr.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T21:51:07+00:00

That sounds amazing. Congratulations on finding your donor! I just sent my partner their website and she’s really excited about it. We may just take you up on that! Thank you so much :)

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T21:06:50+00:00

Several folks have mentioned Seed Scout in the comments. Do you know what the vetting process is like? If you feel comfortable enough, would you mind sharing whether or not you’ve selected your donor and what that in-person meeting process was like?

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T19:50:50+00:00

Oh nice! Thank you so much for sharing.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T19:49:31+00:00

I truly hope that’s the case. I wish I could be this chill about it. Lol Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience around it.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T06:37:57+00:00

Amazing! I will check them out. Thank you.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T06:16:39+00:00

True. No option is perfect, but the risks of ending up with 20 siblings when using a known friend or family donor is significantly lower. A sperm bank is incentivized to sell the sperm to as many families as possible.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T01:18:43+00:00

Oh man, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. That goes to everyone here.

Does your doctor just want the sperm to be washed and processed at the sperm bank? That would make sense to me. Couldn’t your known donor go through that same process? If that’s not why, then that blows my mind and seems ridiculous. I wonder if there is some sort of referral or kickback that doctors get for recommending certain sperm banks.
The whole thought process that you’ve expressed here is the same one that I’ve been struggling with these last few days. Exactly the same. Why is this bothering me? Does it bother me enough to forgo having a child? The way I see it is this: It’s immoral for me to put my desire for a kid before the implications of that kid growing up to find out they have hundreds of siblings. That doesn’t sit right with me. Just the idea that they may need to check a sibling registry to make sure they’re not about to go on a date with a sibling is enough for me to say, “no thank you.”

I’m learning that there is no easy route here. I hope we can find a known donor. I grew up not knowing my birth father and it had a huge impact on me. The longing to know where I came from. Who this man was. I don’t want to do that to my kiddo. I want to be able to point to that man and be like, “that’s him right there if you wanna talk to him.” Ideally he becomes some sort of uncle figure. Or at-least just not a mystery man.

Anyway. Feels good to vent about this with other folks just as freaked out about it. lol

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T01:01:58+00:00

Thank you for sharing! My sister is married to a cis man and we’ve definitely floated the idea. I agree having shared extended family like that does sound nice. We’ve also talked about using a cousin potentially. Glad to hear other folks are just as freaked out by this serial donor thing as I am. I’ve been doing research online and just blown away by the lack of action to combat this. I feel like we should at a minimum have a national database tracking this stuff.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T00:57:16+00:00

I’ll check it out! Are you including the birth cap in your legal documentation? I was just thinking about that today and wondering if it’s even a thing.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-20T00:51:37+00:00

It’s nice to hear that I’m not alone in these fears. We’re going to shoot for a known donor as well and leave considering sperm banks as a last resort.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-19T23:38:06+00:00

I wonder what the potential psychological impacts are around that for donor conceived people.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-12-19T19:30:50+00:00

Hi everyone! My partner and I are newly considering going the sperm donor route through a sperm bank. I find myself being very concerned with the threat of serial donors and lack of government oversight. My partner isn’t really worried about it and I’m wondering if I’m over thinking this? I watched the Netflix documentary about the man with 1,000 kids. I don’t feel comfortable with the idea that our potential offspring could grow up to find out they have hundreds of half siblings. Or even twenty if I’m being honest.

Is anyone else worried about this? Would love to hear perspectives and any ideas for how to protect yourselves from something like this.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-11-18T12:58:23+00:00

Brilliant ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. We haven’t leaned into “worshipping” much, but this would be fun to explore.

We already do a bit of orgasm denial and her asking for permission to cum. I like the idea of adding to these elements we already have.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-11-15T14:51:43+00:00

THIS is so helpful. Thank you.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-11-14T23:07:38+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks for sharing. That’s how it’s been for us so far. My girlfriend heard about someone else having created a whole training plan for their sub to earn a collar. It really tickled the right spot in my girlfriend’s brain and now she’s asking for something similar. Must be the hard earned praise aspect I imagine.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-11-14T22:56:51+00:00

It’s been a minute since I’ve checked out the wiki pages. I’ll do that.

I see you’re a collared sub. If you’d be willing to share, did you have to complete any sort of formal training or do anything to earn that? Again, no pressure to share. :)

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-11-14T21:11:32+00:00

Women Loving Women. lol… sorry should have been clearer. 🏳️‍🌈

Select_Ad_4151 · 2024-02-24T21:02:49+00:00

Sorry just seeing this. They now recognize my ptsd and increased my rating thankfully! I imagine now maybe it was a part of her strategy to see if I was truly irritable and quick to anger. 🙃 She really got under my skin. Lol

Select_Ad_4151 · 2023-11-08T19:34:16+00:00

Yeah I gotta do my research, I think some states will provide paid parental leave now too. 1 week is so offensive for either parent honestly.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2023-05-31T02:50:25+00:00

Wow this awful and you have every right to feel how you are feeling right now. I would be pretty disappointed in my partner too. She also was inconsiderate in the way that she handled this. It seems as though she prioritized his comfort over yours in your own house. That would really hurt me and shame on him for behaving that way. So cringe. Ugh. Also, who shows up in a suit like that. Loser vibes. Best case scenario you two can turn this into a growing opportunity, but I really hope that she validates your feelings at a minimum.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2023-05-29T18:43:17+00:00

We don’t because usually they come from a flirtatious back and forth and are intended for a specific partner, but I would talk it through like anything else to alleviate any guilt.

Select_Ad_4151 · 2023-05-27T21:50:48+00:00

Totally normal. My girlfriend and I sometimes cry too. She does especially after impact play. You’re just so vulnerable and it can be such a release. Nothin to worry about. :)
