A Japanese man has drawn widespread attention online for offering a unique form of sperm donation. Unlike typical sperm banks, he sometimes helps women conceive by sleeping with them while also offering a no-sex option for insemination.
According to a report by South China Morning Post (SCMP), the 38-year-old man, known only by the alias Hajime, began helping others after receiving a plea from an infertile friend.

How It All Started
Five years ago, Hajime’s friend, who faced infertility, asked him to sleep with his wife to help her get pregnant. “My university friend told me he lacked sperm and could not have children with his wife, and then he asked me to sleep with her and get her pregnant,” Hajime said, as quoted by the publication.
Though initially shocked, he decided to help after understanding the struggles many face with fertility.
“To be honest, seeing the child born gave me mixed feelings, but my friend’s parents had apparently mentioned many times that they wanted a grandchild. So, he was beaming with joy and was very grateful to me,” Hajime said.
Witnessing their happiness inspired him to continue helping others.
Offering Services Online
To expand his efforts, Hajime created a social media account where he anonymously offers his sperm donation services, SCMP reported. He shares his monthly infectious disease test results, which cost around 11,700 yen (approximately Rs 3,900), to reassure potential clients. Hajime also posts his university diploma to confirm his background and credibility.
Rules And Conditions
Hajime provides his service free of charge and only asks for travel expenses. He clearly states that he will not sign contracts or claim paternity or financial responsibility for children conceived through his donations.
Who Seeks His Help
So far, Hajime has received more than 20 requests, and he has successfully helped seven women become pregnant with four children already born. While he expected most clients to be infertile couples, the majority turned out to be female same-sex partners, followed by single women seeking children without marriage.
Hajime’s Practice Sparks Mixed Reactions
His story has sparked curiosity and discussion across social media.
One person commented, “Without formal records, there is a potential risk of problematic marriages in the future. That is the real issue.”
“The demand clearly exists, so should the laws and regulations not keep pace with the times?” another asked.
But Hajime’s practice exists in a legal grey area, as Japan has no specific laws that ban private sperm donation or its online promotion.
