Sperm, Money, and Hard Time!

It was recently reported that two men from Reading, Berkshire, England decided to make a few bucks off overflow of sperm (okay, maybe excess would be a better word, but who could resist). No matter, with women concerned over their biological clock -- or simply not wanting a man in their life -- what better way would those of the male persuasion attempt to "fix it" for women while still adding a few dollars to their own bank accounts?

send the men to jail. Ricky Gage, 49, and Nigel Woodforth, 43, were allegedly running Fertility 1st without a license, allowing anonymous donors to shall we say, hand out their sperm for reasonable fees and compensation, of course.

According to the website, the "life-changing opportunity" allowed women to select sperm donors based on height, weight, hair color, even hobbies the donors enjoyed.

Prosecution puts forth that women paid approximately $103 to join, a $386 usage fee, and $193 for delivery through a courier once the specific sperm was selected. (Not bad considering a nice bottle of wine and dinner could cost the women just as much for a non sure thing.)

Gage and Woodforth argue their company was just an information site acting as an introduction database -- they weren't scoring any sperm, nor were they selling it. However, prosecutors disagree as a company list showed 792 deliveries made between October 2007 and November 2008, proof of illegal procuring of sperm without a license, and making the $324,000 and change illegitimate income. The men were arrested as the result of undercover police work.

The trial will continue and we'll see if the men eventually face hard time.
