> One way to tackle a sperm shortage is by importing it. The HFEA says the majority of imported sperm in the UK comes from sperm banks in the US and Denmark.

Also quite the problem when seeking a mate as a woman.
Shortage because the stupid insane requirements. You know sperm banks have a height requirement? Lol
I remember reading an article in the Guardian of a woman wanting to buy sperm.
Places like https://www.cryobank.com/search/ (US) have profiles similar to dating profiles for each donor. You can see their hobbies, their education, height, eye colour, etc.

Though they are paid around $2000.
