A man who discovered that his dad 'sold his sperm 500 times' has admitted that he is scared to join any dating apps because of his fear that he could end up matching with one of his siblings.

Over the years he has managed to track down eight of his siblings, but 24-year-old Zave Fors admits that he actually has no idea how many of them could be out there, and doesn't want to end up sleeping with one of them.

After he took a DNA test, Zave- from Portland, Oregon - he was amazed to discover that one of his siblings - his brother Daron McLennan-Colon - went to the same school as him.

Zave wasn't as amazed as Daron was, though. He only found out he was donor-conceived, and that he had a sister living down the road, when Zave approached him on social media.

Zave and Daron even had memories of each other at school, but never knew they were biological siblings.

Fors told Mirror Online: "Not knowing how many siblings I have has damaged my dating life.

"When I'm swiping around on Tinder, I don't really know who's related to me or not.

"There will always be a spectre of unknown lingering over me in intimate relationships. Short of genetically testing all of my partners, I will never have 100 percent certainty that we are not related.

"People say incest is statistically unlikely but isn't it unlikely that I went to school with my half-brother?

"He was two years ahead in school. So even though people say the likelihood of accidental incest is low, I still have to live in a constant state of apprehension.

"My other siblings had similar experiences. Two of them lived within two blocks of each other."

Zave became determined to track down the rest of his biological family after he decided to discover his father's identity during childhood.

His mother struggled to conceive and went through nine cycles before falling pregnant. She raised him as a single mother and never lied to him about how he was conceived.

Despite his mother telling him it wouldn't be possible, he wanted to know who his dad was.

After signing up to Ancestry.com, he received no results, until his brother pinged up a few months later.

Now, he's trying to build bonds with his half-siblings.

He continued: "I didn't think I would have siblings. The thought never crossed my mind."

Well, he does, and he might continue to discover more and more of them as his search goes on.
