“Kyle Gordy” says he donates sperm to women who contact him online, as Facebook faces calls to ban unregulated donors on the site.
A man who claims he has fathered dozens of children by offering sperm donations online says demand has risen during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 29-year-old American – who uses the name Kyle Gordy to discuss his sperm donations – claims he has produced at least 35 children and has another six babies on the way.
He runs two Facebook groups for people seeking sperm donors which have attracted thousands of members, and plans to travel to the UK later this year to meet a woman who has contacted him about having a child.

It comes after reports some women are turning to social media to find sperm donors amid shortages at fertility clinics in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.
According to Skynews a UK charity which supports people affected by fertility issues has urged Facebook to ban unregulated groups which facilitate sperm donations via the social media site.
Meanwhile, the government body which regulates fertility clinics in the UK has warned that donating sperm away from licensed clinics “can carry significant risks that can impact everyone involved”.
Mr Gordy, who lives in Los Angeles, says he created the private Facebook group Sperm Donation USA about four years ago and it now has nearly 15,000 members.
