post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
So i made a thread about finding a KD and one respose i got was look on craiglist.well i did but i didn't know where to post it so i put it in the personal ad''women seeking men''.well i posted an ad like this on craiglist list before but in a differnt place,and i didn't get not one response.well not even 30 mintues had passed after i made the ad and i was getting all kinds of responses.some guys wanted to trade sex for sperm(of course look where i posted the ad) and some where serious and wants to help.well eventually my post got flagged for removal(i don't know why).where in the heck do i post stuff like this on craiglist?

Yes, the posts do get removed, but often you can find someone in the brief window of time before the post is flagged. Hopefully one of the people who contacted you will work out!

Just keep posting...they get flagged, but you can keep posting it. Don't take it personally - it's technically a violation of CraigsList rules.

Good luck! Also - don't feel like you have to reply to everyone, and set up an e-mail you use only for this, it's such a pain if someone you don't want to talk to gets your real e-mail...been there, done that!

Thanks ladies.it was a big mistake using my main email for this.but it was probaly worth it lol.i just don't get how men and women can post on craiglist looking for sex but not for sperm.it's ridiculous.i don't care how many times my ad gets deleted i will keep trying.i have gotten alot of replies and some strange one's.many wanting to trade sex for sperm(stupid i know) even after i wrote in my post(I'M LOOKING FOR SEX! I DON'T WANT SEX!) only a serious sperm donor.i had one guy(age40) contact me and then said let me think about it.i'm like dude you contacted me and your telling me to to let you think about it? omg how stupid.there was one guy who lives in the same city contacted me and asked do i need help.i responded and he acepted.even after explaining the method i want to use,he prefer sex.he told me that at his age(38) that it wouldn't be best to go in the cup.lame excuse? i think so.i have responded back to the serious ones,but have yet to hear from them.oh well i guess i'll keep searching.

I found my first KD on craigslist. It wasn't even from the ad, which only lasted about an hour before being flagged and pulled. It was from some one flaming us on Rants and Raves. They reposted our ad, including our contact info, in their rant about how disgusting we were thinking queers should breed.
Our KD was so enraged he emailed us and asked to be considered. We had a great 6 month stint with him that resulted in one pregnancy that ended in m/c. He got an amazing chance of a lifetime job offer in Abu Dahbi so we lost him to that. But he is still a great friend. He said if I'm still not pregnant by the time he gets back (he is gone for 18 months) he return and be our donor. Hopefully we won't need him!

So you haven't reposted on craiglist? people are so mean now days.i don't think you and your partner should have been jugded by your sexualility.that's just mean.but the samething happened to me.i found s donor and he was a great one.i got pregnant the first time i did home insemination using him,but had an early miscarriage.and to top it all off he had to move away for a job offer.so we're still very good friends and he still wants to help but i hate to fly.i hope someone serious drop me a good note.

Jumping in to post that I too posted an ad on craigslist looking for a donor. I found a great, gorgeous, healthy, smart, cooperative man who wasn't even asking for sex. Unfortunately i didn't have the patience and just went with the frozen sperm we already had. But it can and does work. Persistence and careful wording is key.
