In the 20 years that Hartley has been recruiting donors for Xytex, she's become attached to many, as if they were her own sons.
"They are just so precious," she said in an interview from Atlanta, Ga.
"We've got several favourites who are funny, not embarrassed to talk about being a donor, are friendly and very confident young men. The kind of man you'd want your son to grow up to be.
"But of course, what makes them my favourite is that they have good sperm counts."
She calls one to the phone - a shy-sounding 21-year-old college frat boy who Hartley says "sells out really fast."
He was drawn to the clinic three years ago, he said, after seeing an ad on campus (one sperm bank's slogan is "why not get paid for it?"). He comes in up to three times a week, getting $65 each time, and knows he has at least one child out there.
"I'm leaning more toward not releasing my ID," he said. "I don't want a whole lot of kids coming to me when they're 18, unless they're famous."
I don't know - but I'd love to hear someone try and sell the idea to their IHQ.
