Ed
Houben has 99 children. Maybe 100 by the time you read this. Several
more are already on the way. He has met many of them, but he has raised
none of them. Scattered throughout the Netherlands—his home country—and
the rest of Europe, they aren’t his.
Houben, 44, is a “charitable sperm donor,” devoting much of his free time (he is a tour guide by day) to helping lesbian couples, single women and infertile heterosexual couples conceive. When he began donating 15 years ago, he gave to a sperm bank. Now he prefers what he calls the “natural method”—that is, sex.
