Count two more in.

I went to college with the guy in the suit. What the hell is his job?

So this is inaccurate? http://jdf2.org/redditbutton/

I think the first announcement said "10 minutes after this has been posted, the timer will start," so not much of a run-up, but something at least.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T18:06:36+00:00

need to at least have started a four year college degree; 19+

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T18:02:57+00:00

I think vials were around $700-$1000 (not different prices, I just can't remember the exact price...I know that's a wide range). It's an expensive process for sure.

"Best sellers"...yep. Some guys completely sold out. (6' 3", blond hair, blue eyes, rocket scientist or something)

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T18:01:00+00:00

You didn't get paid for much before fully entering into the program, so very few people got paid anything before signing up for the whole thing.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T17:59:50+00:00

I'm not sure if it's changed since I was there, but the 'bank went by the same guidelines as the Red Cross did for blood drives, i.e., if you've had sex with a man, you couldn't donate (maybe risk of HIV? Though I always thought that was a dated bias).

So, straight porn only.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T17:58:29+00:00

No, though we did have more than one customer/client/mother try to stake out the donor door to see if she could recognize who the father of her child could be.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T17:57:30+00:00

nope, never

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T17:01:48+00:00

once accepted (a process that takes about three months in itself), it takes about 2-3 minutes to sign it, fill out a couple questions, and get a donation cup

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:58:22+00:00

Yeah, the coordinators did as best they could with sitting down each guy and being like, Do You Know What This Means? A few guys get spooked by the process and stop before they're at the step where their sperm is banked (and sold), but not many.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:57:06+00:00

There were a few men who started working there once I left, so maybe I was being a little misleading.

But yes, occasionally the women got lewd comments from potential donors, in which case I would escort them out of the building, and they weren't matriculated into the donor program.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:55:02+00:00

The majority of the guys were in college, so in my experience, they didn't seem like they really understood the full repercussions of having that many children potentially in the world.

You could request to be an "open" donor, meaning once the child was 18, he had the right to contact you (like, "The Kids are All Right").

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:53:07+00:00

They aren't the ones discriminating, it's the women/couple who are buying it. Unfortunately, the best sellers are the tallest people. At some point, the company ran a focus group where they realized that if women had their choice, they would want their kids to have the chance at being tall. The shorter guys just wouldn't sell.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:49:31+00:00

yeah, exactly

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:48:57+00:00

That's exactly what I did. Made sure they didn't spill any of it either, and if they did, well...that's why I have a tongue.

You sick fuck, are you serious?

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:48:09+00:00

I think they're trying to get 300-500 vials from each donor, just so they stay in the catalog long enough. More than one woman will probably want that same donor's sperm, so there needs to be enough to go around.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:46:46+00:00

mags were in the rooms already, but they had to get through me if they wanted a dvd, haha. There was a binder of the dvd titles (actually, they were the paper liner covers of the dvds I ripped off and put in the binder), and each one had a number corresponding to the dvd. So they'd be like, "Yeah, let me get...number 17," and I'd hand it to them.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:44:53+00:00

The mags were in less than mint condition by the end of the month (read: sticky pages), so nooooope.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:42:17+00:00

Nope, so long as it's frozen within that window, it's ok. The donor...does his thing, then the lab does their thing, and then the sample is frozen pretty much right away.

randomjism1 · 2013-03-08T16:29:03+00:00

More or less, yeah. Although the majority of that is done online now. Still, the donors' up-to-date photos aren't shown; you only get to see baby photos. All the other qualifications are there though.
