Take a peek inside the first sperm bank in northwestern China!

By Horace Lu
Shaanxi Province's Maternity and Child Care Center (陕西省妇幼保健院) has set up the first sperm bank in northwestern China. Men come to this sperm bank not only to donate their baby batter for infertile couples, but also to save them for future use (like if they get run over by a taxi before they successfully knock up their wives). A group of journalists checked out the sperm bank and took the following photos.
Enjoy!
The light board says "Do not disturb", which means someone is inside the donation room.

The sperm bank based in Xi'an, Shaanxi, is the first one in NW China. Donors first have to fill forms in the reception room.

On the wall, the photo of a Chinese beauty and a media player to pump out the porn while donors beat their bishops. Not sure if you're allowed to bring your own porn.

A window connects the donation room to the sperm lab. Once done, donors pass their fresh baby batter through the window, which by the way, is opaque.

Doctors receive the baby batter from this window.

Lots of machines inside the sperm lab to examine the little gremlins in the baby batter, and to see if there are any yucky viruses lurking among them.
