Sperm Banks Reveal Huge Demand For Ginger Sperm Donors In The UK

Gingers are rare, and in 2019, are proving more desirable than ever.

A co-parenting site based in Great Britain has put out a public announcement calling men with red hair to donate to sperm banks around the country, due to being in "high demand."


Co-ParentMatch is a service that puts women hoping to conceive in touch with potential sperm donors independently of a sperm bank.

The company was started in 2006 by a lesbian couple who, after an unsuccessful search for options to conceive a child, "wanted to offer a regulated environment for singles and couples of any sexuality, nationality or ethnicity to find a sperm donor or co-parent."

The site dedicates itself to helping "you to become a parent as quickly and safely as possible by matching you with other like minded individuals."

So naturally, when its clients demanded more redheads become sperm donors, Co-ParentMatch happily obliged by reaching out to its connections on social media.


Reportedly, only about 2% of Co-ParentMatch's total donors have red hair, which does not at all match the demand for ginger donors from its members.

This is a marked change from past demographics:





In fact, a 2011 article by the BBCreported that Cryos International, the world's largest sperm bank, was turning away ginger donors "because there is a lack of demand for their 'product'."

"We are very happy with redheads and what hair colour people have, but our job is to supply all races, all hair colours and all eye colours and our problem is that we are located in this part of Northern Europe," said Ole Schou, the director of Cryos International.

"We are overloaded with donor sperm from these groups so we have had to stop requesting them."





But as of 2017, the hair color seemed to be back in fashion for potential moms.

In fact, they are even saying this could save gingers from extinction. But are gingers really in danger?

Well, according to the way genetic makeup transpires, no.

Gingers should be around for the rest of the time the world is still inhabitable, despite some anxieties that climate change could cause an unfortunate and abrupt natural selection for our pale skinned, pigment-challenged friends.


Of course, people went about tagging all their redhead friends on the Facebook post. If you are a ginger in the UK, you might have a shortcut to feeling wanted an in demand right at your fingertips.
