If you are a sperm donor, then you can not only make a nice little sum of money for doing something you would be doing in your bedroom anyway, but you can also help families who are struggling to conceive. Many men who donate sperm don’t talk about it, either because they’re embarrassed they handed over their seed for money, they want to remain as anonymous as possible, or nobody ever asks them! So sperm banks and the entire industry of sperm donating can be a thing of mystery for many. In fact, you probably don’t know where your local sperm bank even is because these businesses tend to have rather non-descript entrances. So if you’re a man interested in donating sperm, or a woman interested in getting some, here are little-known facts about sperm banks.

Over one million children are conceived with donated sperm in the United States every year. That’s nearly two percent of all babies born in the U.S. every year.
