That whole thing is weird - 20+ kids outside his marriage, the description of using the diva-cup or whatever as the conception method, his religious wife, discussing that he and his wife don't have sex, calling his son an "Ejaculator", and his own kids knowing they have 20+ half-siblings that he sometimes visits and has seen their births, but don't have relationships with.
Ugh. As someone who has kids conceived with the help of a sperm donor I superly hate stories like this. It gives the whole concept of donation such a smarmy reputation. Yuck.
Edit: Well now I actually read the article and I actually feel a bit different... I have such incredible privilege to be able to afford anonymous donor sperm from a bank. I wish it were different, but this man is also giving them such a gift (and they are willingly taking on such huge risks in terms of health and legal parent rights....)

gross
ETA: I do understand how hard it can be for people to get donor sperm. My friend recently went through the process, and it cost $8k just for the sperm! The gross comment was mostly to his attitude towards the whole thing.
This guy is fetishizing this--it is not generous. He thinks he is mega hot stuff and wants to spread his seed.. My first Asian? I have my own little United Nations? Calling his son The Ejaculator?! Disgusting.
