NYC Sperm Donor Still Giving Away His Sperm for Free

Last year, Ari Nagel made news when the New York Post profiled him on Father’s Day about his free sperm and the numerous women who have gotten pregnant thanks to his generosity.

After Nagel’s Post interview, The Root contacted him to discuss why he’s made it his mission to help couples with fertility issues.

Most of Nagel’s babies were “conceived” in random places around New York City, like Target restrooms, and many of the recipients of his sperm happen to be black women.

During his interview with The Root, Nagel said that he had 22 kids, but a year later, in a new interview with the Post, the “sperminator” has a few more kids on the way. And women have been flying him out to use his sperm.

“It’s a lot of fun [traveling], actually. Of course, no one’s ovulating in Hawaii—it’s Toledo, Ohio, and Flint, Michigan,” Nagel told the Post.

Some people have questioned Nagel’s sperm donations, but given that people going the traditional route pay upward of $2,000, it’s obvious that for some families, free is the way to go.

Nagel says that he doesn’t plan on donating sperm for much longer, but he’s still happy that he’s able to help people and knows that it’s his “calling.”

“It’s hard to say no [to the women], especially when it’s something that’s so important to them and so easy for me to give,” he said.
