I recently saw an add for sperm donation here in New York. The ad said $75-150 per donation. This made me overly curious about, not only the operation, but mainly the basis of pay rate for these donations.
How do they decide what sperm is worth $75 and what is worth $150? Does your appearance play a factor? Your education? Your hygiene?
Is it strictly based on quality or is it quantity? Does speed play a factor (God, I hope so)? Texture? Color? Scent? Any of these?
Perhaps it is more based on consistency, elasticity or durability?
Maybe even still it is the degree to which your donation process took place. Maybe you receive less money the more "assistance" you require. I heard that movies or reading materials are provided to help you in your time of need. Do they place a value on these rentals? I have to assume that occasionally, assistance through manual labor is required from the staff. That just led to a horrible vision of my middle school nurse trying to help me "finish the job." Not sure I would be up to the task.
I am overly curious about how much the sperm banks pay for your donation. Unfortunately, there is only one sure-fire (hee hee) way to find out. If I ever get the balls (again, hee hee) to try it out, I will report back. I do love money, but I usually reserve my donations for more special occasions. Quite a quandary I have here.

Eliot Spitzer: Who's at Fault Here?
The big news is New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s involvement with a prostitution ring. It was found that he visited, at least once a month, with a prostitute at about $3000 a pop. Lots of questions have stemmed from these events. Did he use public funds? Did he cross state lines with the prostitute? Should he resign? Should he remain? Will he get divorced?
Having the mindset that I do, I rarely take things at face value. Things are rarely as simple as they seem, I think. So, the main question that came to my mind when all of this began to unfold was “Who is really at fault here?”
It couldn’t just been all Spitzer’s fault, could it? Is he just a horn dog that needed it so badly that he forgot about his civic duties? Was he driven into the arms of a prostitute or was he unable to avoid the siren’s song?
Maybe his wife did drive him to this. Maybe if she had been more nurturing, Spitzer would not of sought another woman’s comfort outside of his marriage. Maybe if she had just put out more he wouldn’t of gone this route! Of course I don’t know this for sure, but it has happened to a lot of men.
Is it possible that this prostitute was so alluring that he couldn’t resist her? I think most men would agree that they have met a woman that they couldn’t get out of their mind or someone that made them feel a certain special way. I doubt they are usually whores, but from time to time they must be. Maybe she was just that good. Maybe she did things to him that blew his mind, or certain body parts, and he couldn’t stay away. I did see a picture of this woman and she wasn’t bad. Definitely on the upper echelon of whores…at least compared to the ones at the Bunny Ranch outside Vegas. Saw it on HBO. That is all I happen to know about whores, I swear it.
One of the most ironic parts of this whole ordeal is that Spitzer, when he was the Attorney General, prosecuted this exact type of case. He even pushed for a law that brought charges against the men that paid for sex with prostitutes. Not very good foresight on the Governor’s part there!
I am not sure I agree with Spitzer having to resign. I recall a certain person in a high profile position having sex with an intern, admitting to it and getting to keep his job. Does it all depend on the job you have that determines your ability to sustain it amidst crisis? Based on all the public figures that have lost their jobs due to similar scenarios, I guess being President is the only protection you could have to secure your job.
Bottom line, whether I agree with what he did or what becomes of it, Spitzer screwed up big time. He tried hard to conceal it and he got away with it for a while, but he forgot that if you are a public official, you cannot ever do anything wrong. The media gets bored and feeds off the littlest indiscretions. Something of this magnitude can destroy a person. So, in closing, I say, way to go dumbass. You were governor of the most powerful state in the union and now you might go to jail for breaking a law you created. Very, very, very dumb. You may have been pushed or drawn into this predicament, but in the end, it is entirely your fault.
