Danish sperm bank Cryos has revealed that it no longer needs redheaded sperm donors because the demand isn’t high enough. Due to an increase in sperm donations over the past few years, the world’s largest international network of sperm banks has become more picky about its donors.


“There are too many redheads in relation to demand. I do not think you chose a redhead, unless the partner – for example, the sterile male – has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads.
