You're Only As Good As Your Sperm Count

Dear Friend,

Here's another example of necessity being the mother of invention

This is something pretty wild, your parent's would never have envisioned:  The amount of women who are having children "sans dude" -- without a guy -- is increasing, and increasing fast.

There are now support groups and online chat rooms and an entire field of professional therapists dedicated to managing this whole process as well.

The search for Mr. Right having long been given up by some women, has created a new marketplace for sperm donors, egg fertilization factories, and all sorts of related doo-hickeys (like where to you store all this "magic goo").

And talk about a starving crowd!  In a recent survey conducted by match.com 42% of all single women said they'd seriously consider having a baby without a man.

In fact, there is probably no greater want, ON EARTH, than a woman who wants to have a baby, especially a woman who feels her clock has been ticking a LOT longer than it should've been, and whose biological count-down for being able to get pregnant, is getting close to zero.

I can tell you personally, it took us a good long while to have Samantha (I was enjoying the practice though), and Anne was definitely getting anxious about it.

What's interesting about this entire process is that since these pregnancies aren't generally occuring between two people in a relationship, the women get to "choose" their sperm donor.  And the qualifications for picking men -- or should I say, sperm -- are very interesting.

For instance, many of the women wind up picking men who have physioligical and visual ethnic characteristics (hair color and texture, body structure, family history of a certain occupation - like artist or doctor, for example) that are 100% diametrically opposite to the traits they dislike within their own ethnicity.

One African-American woman was choosing men who had straight hair, because she didn't want her baby to have kinky hair.  A Jewish woman was choosing a blonde-haired blue-eyed German bodybuilder's sperm, becuase she didn't like her hair or nose.

And by-the-way, this same German bodybuilder has very fertile sperm and is quite the prolific donor, and no less than 28 different children have been fathered by him, in absentia.  The families of this man even have get-togethers and talk online in their own forum, and... needless to say, all the children look alike.

I'm not sure where I really stand on all this, but "fathering" 28 kids, is very creepy, and I've GOT to believe manipulating the gene pool like this has to be violating some kinds of laws of nature.  Plus, wait until all those kids want cars -- believe me, bodybuilder or no bodybuilder -- this guy's not out of the woods scott-free, just yet.

And I'm no biologist, but I think Darwin would be down at the bar for Happy Hour every night if he knew what was going on.

Anyway, just another marketplace for you to be aware of, and just another reason why I'm glad I had my vasectomy.
