A COVID-fuelled “sperm drought” has heightened fears about unregulated sperm donations, with more women using social media to find donors and some allegedly being assaulted by men offering to help them conceive.

“Some pursue it because they presume it will result in conception, but I think if anyone is requesting natural insemination that’s a massive red flag because of the health risks involved.” Informal sperm donation is seen by some as an easier option because it allows people to bypass the costs and bureaucracy of regulated clinics, where out-of-pocket expenses can often be $5000 to $7000 for each cycle.
