Because of the recession, a plasma donation center in Raleigh is almost always packed with people willing to donate blood or semen.A 30- to 45-minute procedure nets donors $50 for each of the first two donations; every donation after that pays $25, but people who donate a second time within seven days get $30. I had a friend who masturbated his way through college for cash, and was able to support himself that way.

That's a lot of dates with Rosy Palms, even if he was living on the cheap.

You mean I can get paid for thatt?!?!?
I am not allowed to donate blood. They probably wouldn't allow semen either. But what a way to get cash.
But do they really need that much?

They are just making sure all men have to pay child support.

Huh?
Sperm donors aren't on the hook for child support.
Also, it's a lot cheaper for prospective baby mamas to have sex instead of getting artificially inseminated.

There was a movie I saw where a half-brother and a half-sister fell in love with each other and neither of them knew they were related. After they got married, they had difficulty conceiving an child only to find out that they were related due to having the same sperm donor.
Because of this movie, random sperm donations scare the hell out of me.

"About 700,000 men apply to be sperm donors each month at California Cryobank". About 8 million per year, with one vendor? I guess with the economy and all, got to have something to do to pass the time!

"Another way of getting paid is by donating eggs."
I've got a dozen eggs in the icebox (chicken eggs, but you get the idea...)

I'm getting a new SS card (I lost it) just to "donate" plasma. Their website says you can get $200 a month. Obviously I'm very poor. They might not even let me I guess because I'm breastfeeding a baby. We will see.

I don't understand why people get freaked out about donating sperm. It's not easy for the donor. I did it a few times, but it was difficult to concentrate with all the screaming and yelling from the other passengers on the bus.
