    > One way to tackle a sperm shortage is by importing it. The HFEA says the majority of imported sperm in the UK comes from sperm banks in the US and Denmark.

    > Nicole Nel, operations and laboratory manager at the London Sperm Bank, believes the shortage is not due to a “lack of applicants” in the UK, but “the lack in the quality of the applicants”.

    Also quite the problem when seeking a mate as a woman.

    Shortage because the stupid insane requirements. You know sperm banks have a height requirement? Lol

    I remember reading an article in the Guardian of a woman wanting to buy sperm.

    Places like https://www.cryobank.com/search/ (US) have profiles similar to dating profiles for each donor. You can see their hobbies, their education, height, eye colour, etc.

    Though they are paid around $2000.
