It needs to be said that we here at the Gay Sperm Bank hate dentists. Yes we feel sorry for them, staring inside people's gobs every day, but it's what they do to us that is the source of our hate. Dental anxiety is the core of it, pain is what runs it, once the drugs wear off the rage kicks in.

It's a simple fact that many dentists are simply mean. They derive pleasure from causing pain, they remove your beloved teeth and say "you should have come here earlier" while doing it. Make us feel guilty for not giving them more regular money by visiting them for dental check-ups, paying attention to their websites' lectures about dental hygiene, and ask us to purchase dental dams for lesbian licking sessions only from their online store, not when there's hordes of rich schoolkids in the waiting room for their regular Invisalign check ups.

But when it comes to emergency dentists you have to show some respect. With Coronavirus in the air, they're on the front line like any medical professional. If someone is in excruciating pain, if they've knocked a tooth out while trying to stay 1.5 metres away from a fellow supermarket shopper, or maybe fighting over a roll of toilet paper, then yep, they're there, and in fact in most countries now the only dental service that dentists are allowed to provide is emergency dentistry.

Gone, thanks to COVID-19, is the cosmetic dentistry, the smile makeover, the teeth whitening, the digital smile design, the Invisalign and the orthodontics. So now if you're visiting a dentist during this pandemic you're likely to be having dental anxiety as well as being in a great deal of pain, because emergencies are the only way you're going to be in a dentist's chair.

So this story brings us to the one dentist who will always be a hero for what he did in an emergency. He doesn't want the publicity, but he's a gay dentist. And one of our successful moms, waiting for her daughter to have her a dental cavity filled, suddenly felt herself going into labour. As she'd had a child many years before, the baby came out fast, and our gay dentist friend, in a truly unique emergency, delivered the baby in his dentist's chair. All we can tell you is that the lucky mom had her second daughter, and her daughter's name is Isabelle. Congratulations mom and daughter, and dentist!

What makes a man choose to become a sperm donor? Is it a healthy conservative streak, not wishing to waste precious resources, and, perhaps, a belief in recycling? Or, is it a massive ego wank, and the desire to populate the world with reproductions of one’s self? Whatever it is, until they come up with a viable alternative, sperm remains an integral part of producing children. Anything when viewed in isolation, becomes a different kettle of fish altogether. The time-honoured recipe has usually been: physical attraction, copulation, pregnancy, labour and baby. These days, that succession of events and agencies is not, always, possible or preferable for some.

Using A Sperm Donor: Is It a Gamble When Done Correctly?

Everything in life is a gamble, when you really look at it. Security is an illusion we all maintain for as long as possible; until something jumps up and bites us. Physical attraction, AKA sexual chemistry, is evolution’s means of reducing that risk to the species. What we are attracted to on a biological level is supposed to be the best fit for the job. Whether evolution is up to speed on domestic violence, the twenty first century economy and other mitigating factors for healthy and happy children is a moot point. If you really must take a chance, in the words of ABBA “Take a Chance on Me”. That is what sexual and romantic love has to say on the matter.

Is medical negligence a real possibility, when it comes to sperm donorship and artificial insemination? Yes, if the wrong donor sperm or egg is used in the insemination, it open the door to legal action on this basis. In a perfect world we all would be happy to raise children of whatever provenance, but in this materialistic consumer society we are not. We want the child to be a certain colour, race, and from our own stock or choice of stock.

A Cambridge University study by Dr Sophie Zadeh, surveyed mothers, teachers and children to investigate how sperm donor children fared in comparison with children who were parented by couples. The children were aged between four and nine years. Obviously, this is not a long enough study to gather effective data about the positive or negative influence of fathers upon their children. It is, however, a good start in the right direction, as there are far too many assumptions made in this space. The outcome of the study showed no ill effects of parenting, which began via sperm donorship.
