sperm donors
Anonymous biological fathers
A sperm donor is a man who provides semen to be used for artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization, typically through a sperm bank.
The donation may be anonymous or known to the recipient.
Figuratively, *sperm donor* dismissively reduces a biological father to his genetic contribution alone: My sperm donor was never part of my life.
