Simon Watson quit his job because he’s made a career out of trading his semen for cash. The 41-year-old advertises his sperm on Facebook and other internet sites for just £50 per pot.
As a result, Simon has fathered more than 800 children and he’s had a constant stream of business – and babies – for the past 16 years.
Shockingly women give birth to one of his offspring at least once a week but he’s also a dad to two sons aged 19 and 17 from his first marriage and a 10-year-old daughter from his second marriage.
Simon, from Luton, Bedfordshire, said: “Some women say it should be free, but I don’t think £50 for a pot of the magic potion is a bad price – you need to cover the costs.
“My friends and family know everything about what I do, I’ve got no secrets.
“My kid’s mates at school think it’s funny. My boys wouldn’t do it themselves, but they’ve said they don’t mind me doing it.”
While being a full-time sperm donor might seem like a dream job, it caused him to split with his most recent girlfriend.
He explained: “She was fed up with what I do. She actually told me she despised it.
“I’m always running off here and there to donate, so it must have got on her nerves.
“I became a sperm donor after my first marriage broke down – I knew I wanted more kids, so that’s why I started.
“My second wife knew I did it, and I was never going to stop doing it – I think she accepted it, I don’t know if she really liked it though, it’s a bit of a weird one even though it’s all done in plastic cups.”
The rogue sperm vender offers fresh rather than frozen swimmers meaning that his donations fall outside the regulations laid down by the Human Fertilisation And Embryology Authority, which governs licensed sperm banks.
Simon said: “I’ve been donating for a long time now. I used to go through sperm banks, but doing it myself is much more convenient for me.
“I generally advertise on Facebook – it’s the way forward. I’ve had way more than 800 children over the years – they’re just the ones I know of.
“I never imagined I’d donate to this degree – with the ease of Facebook though it’s great, and it’s really snowballed.”
