In 2021, Japan's fertility rate hit the largest drop in history.
The population decreased by 644,000 throughout the year.
Even Musk publicly predicted that Japan will no longer exist.
In order to let the people have children, the Japanese government has thought about all the ways they can think of.
provides subsidies to newlywed couples and set up free kindergartens and nurseries. Even if both parties divorce, the government can pay the support.
But in fact, it may not be that the Japanese don’t want to have a child, but that the Japanese don’t have a child.
Because in Japan, the proportion of azoosperm men is getting higher and higher, and many couples want children but cannot.
And behind this, some crazy stories have evolved.
Some time ago, Cryos International, the world's largest sperm bank, once again raised the price of sperm.
Cryos International is an international sperm and egg bank. Its main business is to provide frozen and preserved sperm or eggs to solve people's fertility difficulties. Although
has not disclosed the specific increase, the company has raised the sperm price many times in the past three years, and Japan has the largest increase.
On the one hand, due to the rise in crude oil prices, the prices of raw materials such as sperm straws have also continued to rise.

Another reason is that the competition for sperm is getting more and more intense.
especially in Japan, because more and more men have low sperm activity and their demand for sperm is far greater than that of other countries.
As early as 2005, Japan's " Yomiuri Shimbun " released a medical report, which showed that more and more men in Japan suffer from infertility, and the number of sperm in patients is only one-tenth of that of normal people.
5. Japan ranks first last in all the countries surveyed.
At that time, many medical experts called on young men to freeze more sperm while they were young in case of future emergencies.

In recent years, this situation has become more serious. Data shows that 1 in every 100 Japanese men suffers from azoospermia. Among the male patients who visited the hospital, the proportion of "spermia" was 26%, the proportion of "spermia" was 8%, the proportion of "malspermia" was 1%, and the proportion of "azoospermia" was 8%.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, offline activities such as dinner parties have been restricted, making it increasingly difficult for people to meet and meet. In addition to the epidemic isolation, many single women realize the importance of family and are very eager to have a child.
Before opening the Japanese window, Cryos International Sperm Bank originally envisioned a client group of married women whose husbands had azoospermia, but in fact, more than half of the buyers were single women.
Japanese sperm demand is high
Cryos International's Japanese customers are mostly concentrated in middle-aged and young women aged 30 to 40.
As education improves, women no longer regard marriage and partners as necessities.
But they still want to have a child with them, so they decided to be single mothers.
even single sisters buy sperm together.
A Japanese woman in her 20s named Ling Zi said: She has been afraid of men since she was a child, and she is very disgusted with them and does not want to get married at all.
But I really want to have children. The formal medical method does not accept such applications, so I can only ask for help from the sperm bank. Although there are many reasons, it can be seen that the demand in the Japanese sperm market is indeed very large.
In Japan, if an infertile couple wants to solve the problem of childbirth, they can only do it in 12 hospitals and clinics specified by the official. The same sperm donor can only provide in vitro insemination to 10 people, and the identity information of the sperm donor cannot be disclosed.
Usually the donation of sperm will be borne by Keio University Hospital, and it will also provide a full set of services from donor recruitment to semen collection, preservation, and treatment.
Japan's normal sperm donation conditions are harsh and the process is complicated
The number of sperm successfully output from here every year can once account for more than half of the total number in Japan.
However, since 2018, Keio University Hospital has no longer provided related services on the grounds of "insufficient donors".
This has directly made many Japanese people with difficulty in giving birth. It is undoubtedly becoming more and more difficult for these people to accept sperm donated by regular channels.
After the COVID-19 outbreak, most clinics in Japan have closed down, and the number of regular sperm is pitifully small.
Nowadays, among the 12 clinics, 5 clinics lack sperm, and 4 clinics have long stopped providing first-time sperm donation services because they have always lacked sperm donation. There are only 3 clinics left, and the sperm they can provide is rare.
In February 2019, Cryos International Sperm Bank opened a Japanese window. Although it temporarily alleviated the problem of sperm shortage, a can of RMB 20,000 to RMB 30,000 is also a considerable expense.
Cryos International Sperm Bank will use nitrogen to cans sperm
, in order to ensure sufficient semen source, donors could go to companies in Denmark, the United States and other places to collect semen regularly. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the semen collected is getting less and less now.
In order to ensure more donors, Sperm Bank also tries its best.
For sperm donors, Cryos International Sperm Bank will pay related fees such as transportation fees and closure compensation as compensation, but cannot give too much money.
For example, the stipulated compensation limit is 35 pounds (about 269 yuan).
If you introduce new donors, you can get a movie ticket for two people and enjoy free snacks and drinks.
At the same time, the sperm bank renovated the sperm collection room and imported the latest VR equipment to make the donor's environment more comfortable.

5 By March 2022, about 1,000 donors have registered with Cryos International, mainly European and Americans, providing sperm to about 100 countries in the world.
However, due to Japanese laws, Japanese people cannot donate to Cryos International Bank, but can only be donated by foreigners.
On the official website of Sperm Bank, customers can see the donor's nationality, height, education, blood, appearance, and their own voice...
choose according to their own requirements. Generally, Japanese women like to choose Asians, so that the children born will not look special.

The donor's conditions are different and the sperm prices are different. The sperm of
0.5ml has now risen to between 72 euros (about 469.7 yuan) and 1212 euros (about 8362.6 yuan).
Getting sperm is just the first step in artificial insemination. It also requires a series of treatment operations afterwards, but the probability of successful conception is no more than 22%.
Once failed, you can only continue to purchase sperm multiple times.
If you want to increase the success rate of conception, you have to buy good quality sperm. With the next medical expenses, you have to invest 150,000 or 60,000 yuan at a time, which is not something that ordinary families can afford.
The government-designated hospital cannot be pointed out, and the prices of places that are slightly more formal are too high, so online sperm donation has become a new channel.
Some people have targeted the business opportunities of sperm donation and acted as "black intermediaries" in sperm trading.
There are at least 60 underground sperm bank websites among the Japanese people.
twitter , just use Japanese to search for accounts with thematic tags such as "sperm provide" and "sperm donor", and more than 300 will appear.
These posts will explain in detail the information of education, appearance, annual income, etc., which is even more detailed than the information provided during blind dates.
Some private sperm banks recruit
The better the conditions, the higher the sperm price.
usually costs about 10,000 yen (about 499 yuan). If you cooperate many times, the price will be preferential, which is really much cheaper than Sperm Bank.
As long as you are willing to "pay", the "black intermediary" will try your best to promote cooperation between donors and recipients.
However, there are many safety hazards.
After all, sperm in regular sperm banks has undergone strict inspections. After the purchaser has selected the sperm and paid the fee, the frozen sperm will be placed in a nitrogen tank and transported to a medical institution for the next step of artificial insemination .
In comparison, the method of donating sperm on the Internet is very simple, and it can even be called simple.
sperm buyers and sperm donors usually make an appointment to trade.
locations are generally very casual, either a large shopping center or a private Internet cafe or hotel.
On the Internet, the information of sperm donors is very detailed
The whole process is also very simple. The sperm donors use a secret pre-sterilized container to put their sperm, and then hand over the collected semen to women in need.
women use plastic syringes to inject sperm into their bodies, which is considered to have completed the entire process.
The 30-year-old Japanese man and man already have more than 50 children.
However, there is only one legal one, and the others have nothing to do with him.
Since the age of 22, he and others have started to donate sperm online. Now they have donated sperm more than 800 times, and they are a veritable sperm donation madman.
0 sperm donation more than 100 times a year, Japan's strongest breeding king
At first, I felt that I was too busy with work and would not have time to get married and have children, so I wanted to leave behind "evidence that I once existed" by donating sperm.
and people donate sperm more than 100 times a year, sometimes in Internet cafes, sometimes in unclean toilets, and the most common ones are provided with semen three times a day.
The frequency and number of sperm donations are shocking. In the future, it is unpredictable whether his children will know and love each other.
In the eyes of many sperm donors, donating sperm is as simple and casual as donating blood, so they donate very much.
Most donors do not consider hygiene when exporting semen, and the physical health of the donor is difficult to guarantee.
comparison of regular artificial insemination and online sperm donation
Once the sperm donor has an infectious disease, the sperm will act as a carrier to infect the virus to women.
For safety reasons, sperm donors usually provide their own physical examination information to prove that the sperm is clean and healthy.
But no one can guarantee whether sperm donors have genetic diseases may be passed on to their children. There will be no written agreement between the donor and the fertilized person. They will only obtain the needs, and there will be no medical test for sperm.
There were news reports before that a lesbian couple gave birth to twins through the Internet, but the child suffered from severe genetic deformities.
Usually, formal sperm donor institutions will conduct physical examinations on sperm donors, conduct background and criminal record investigations, conduct sexually transmitted diseases screening, and gene testing. There will be complete legal documents to guarantee the rights of both parties.
In order to have a child, online sperm donation is more like a big gamble, betting that the child is born healthy, betting that the child is physiology fathers will not come back, betting that the child will not fall in love with his close relatives in the future.
everyone will be happy if they win the bet. Once they lose, there will always be someone's life will be ruined.
In addition to potential medical problems, online sperm donation also has various legal risks. The operator of the private sperm bank revealed that the survival rate of direct sperm injections is sometimes very low. Some people have 1 to 2 injections a month, but it lasts for more than a dozen times but still has no results.
In order to increase the probability of pregnancy, they even encouraged both parties to have direct sexual intercourse.
At the beginning of this year, a woman in Tokyo not only abandoned her child because of her suspicion of falsification of the information of a man who donated sperm, but also claimed 330 million yen (about 16.47 million yuan) from the other party.
Japanese female party
This woman has been married long ago and has a son.
But the couple always wanted to have a second child, but because of their husband's problems, they were unable to get pregnant for a long time.
To solve this problem, she secretly searched for sperm donors.
For the sake of the child's consideration, she thought that it was safer to have sex directly and had a higher success rate.
In order not to make her husband suspicious, she decided to find a donor with similar IQ, education and appearance as her husband.
Her husband graduated from Tokyo University , IQ130 or above, and his eldest son, who has already entered junior high school, is also very outstanding.
After some searching, she actually found her ideal sperm donor.
The other party is less than 30 years old. In her eyes, she is a refreshing handsome guy similar to figure skater Hanyu Yuzuru .
More importantly, this person is similar to her husband. He graduated from the top Japanese university Kyoto University and works in finance.
nets restored the process of this farce
From April to June 2019, the woman went to the hotel with the donor 2 to 3 times a week to carry out a human creation plan.
After having sex with the donor for more than a dozen times, she got pregnant as she wished, and this matter should have ended successfully.
However, what the donor did not expect was that after the woman became pregnant, she wanted to continue to maintain her current relationship with him. After the donor rejected
, the woman hired a private detective to thoroughly investigate the man's background.
However, it was found that the other party was not a graduate of a prestigious university at all, but a Chinese graduate from an ordinary public university. Because I have lived in Japan for many years, I speak so fluently.
He is not single either, he is married and has children.
After feeling deceived, the woman not only chose to abandon the child, but also called the police to sue the man, causing a lot of trouble.
Some Japanese netizens pointed out incisively that this is not about donating sperm and having children, it is purely a disguised cheating.
The most pitiful thing is that child. Although he has parents, no one loves him and can only stay alone in the welfare home.
Online sperm donation has also become a breeding ground for nourishing crime.
Some people promise to donate sperm online, but after actually meeting, they may force the fertilized person to engage in unprotected sexual behavior and are only willing to provide sperm through a "natural way".
In order to eliminate chaotic sperm donation, the Japanese government is preparing to issue relevant laws to regulate.
Perhaps this chaos will be curbed, but Japan's problem of less birth still seems to be an unsolvable dilemma.
