The ‘world’s most prolific sperm donor’ says he’s fathered a whopping 129 kids so far, with another nine on the way.
Retired teacher Clive Jones has been donating his sperm for the last nine years, and has no plans of slowing down at the ripe age of 66.
Clive was unable to go down the traditional route of donating through a sperm bank, as they have an age limit of 45.
Instead, he turned his attention to the unregulated world of Facebook, where he found adverts for those in need of 'help'.
Of the 129 children he claims to have fathered to this day, Clive says he's ‘met around 20 of the babies’.
He said: “I'm probably the world's most prolific sperm donor with now being at 138 'babies', well, 129 babies born, nine ongoing pregnancies. I might continue for another few years. Get to 150 anyway.
“I think people would understand more if they saw the messages I get and the photos of the babies with very happy mothers.
“I feel the happiness it brings. I once had a grandmother message me thanking me for her granddaughter.
“I do it for free, though sometimes ask a bit for petrol. It's illegal to charge and doesn't seem right to take money when I have more than them."
About how he does the deed, he explained how after meeting up with the parents-to-be first, he then places the date on his planner, and when he gets the call saying ovulation is only hours away, he jumps into his van and drives close to where they live.
Describing how he does it, Clive previously told Derbyshire Live: "I drive somewhere where I'm not likely to be disturbed and go into the back of the van and pull the curtains down.
"Then I take the cup and a syringe so the stuff can't come out, put a bag under my arm and text them to say I'm outside and I'll be round in three minutes.
"I can tell how nervous they are. No other donor does it from their van normally, they go to the front door and ask to use the toilet."
As a father of three grown-up children himself, he recognised the importance of providing his service to those he felt needed it.
Clive said: "It all started in May, over nine years ago. For some people, having children is very important as it was for me.
"I thought I could help so I put a post on one of the sites. I wasn't expecting any response with me saying how old I was, but I had a lady in Derby contacting me within an hour asking me to help that evening.
"I've not advertised I'm a donor in years. It has not quite worked out as I had guessed, I'm just as busy now and have so many people contact me through people just talking, referring."
Clive says he's been married since 1978, but now lives apart from his wife who he says is ‘not at all happy about’ what he does.
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has issued a medical warning regarding Mr Jones' activities, saying that all donors and patients should be treated at a licensed UK clinic.
A spokeswoman for the authority said: "As the regulator of UK fertility treatment and research we don't have the powers to stop people from making their own arrangements for sperm donation but we do want to help them get the information and advice they need to make the best-informed choices, which is why we always encourage both donors and patients to be treated at a licensed UK clinic.”
