carrying on with the theme of the last post today it's exactly ten years since I put my best swimmers under storage. This has actually been on my mind for a bit now as at the time they told me that they recommend using sperm within ten years of the deposit. Now since that has happened I have been told that it's not really a concern as there have now been plenty of occasions where sperm older than that have been used successfully but it's just a funny feeling knowing that your sperm has a best before date and that it has now passed.
Of course for it to be any use I'll have to find someone not only willing to use it but to go through the process of creating a child through the use of a turkey baster. It's not a great thing to have to bring up at the start of any relationship. Having said that any time I have done so the person involved has been nothing but supportive and there's been plenty of laughs about the plain absurdity of the whole idea. Still, as I say it's an issue for some time in the future and even then it might come to pass that it never becomes an issue. I have to admit I've wondered about whether I actually want to pass on my rather dubious genetic material onto another generation but the wealth of children my family and friends have been producing over the past few years has left me monumentally jealous. I'm definitely missing out on something and when I'm fit enough to cope with it I can't wait to get in on the act.
