Sperm Donor Abuse

Ensuring Safety and Preventing Abuse

At Pride Angel, the vast majority of our sperm donors are genuine individuals who wish to help others for altruistic reasons. However, occasionally, some donors may not be genuine and could offer Natural Insemination (NI) or exhibit abusive behavior. It is crucial to make our members aware of potential types of abuse and how to protect themselves.

Types of Abuse to Watch For:

  • Verbal Abuse: Insulting language used either via message or face-to-face.
  • Emotional Abuse: Using emotional blackmail, such as making you feel guilty for taking up their time.
  • Coercive or Controlling Behavior: Feeling threatened or intimidated to proceed with receiving a donation if you change your mind.
  • Physical Abuse: Physically hurting you or threatening violence.
  • Sexual Abuse/Rape: Pressuring you into NI (sex) ,or anything similar as the best method to conceive.
  • Financial Abuse: Requesting money for donations beyond reasonable expenses.

Choosing a Sperm Donor:

When selecting a donor, be cautious of those who:

  • Harass or over-contact you.
  • Offer to donate without asking questions or building a friendship.
  • Prefer NI/PI as a method of conception.
  • Request payment for donations (other than expenses).
  • Promote their assets, such as high sperm count or high IQ.
  • Ask to immediately come to your home or for you to visit theirs.

Preventing Sperm Donor Abuse:

To safeguard against abuse, we recommend the following:

  • Build up conversation via our internal message system first; do not give out personal email addresses or phone numbers.
  • Ask questions about previous donations and the donor's reasons for donating.
  • Request photo ID and health screening tests.
  • Arrange to meet in a public place and bring your partner or a friend for support.
  • Report any concerns via the 'Report Abuse' system.

If You Experience Abuse:

Pride Angel strictly prohibits any form of abuse from sperm donors towards our members. If you encounter verbal abuse, offers of sex, or requests for money, please use our 'Report Abuse' system to inform us so we can suspend the donor pending further investigation.

For physical or sexual abuse, contact the police immediately and inform us so we can suspend the donor's account.
