...girlfriend, Steve’s new livelihood worked out perfectly for him.“It’s an even better way to commit yourself to not fool around,” Steve says. “Not only are you getting paid for it, there is that moral thing, too.”But don’t drop your pants yet—Steve is one of the one to two percent of applicants who are eventually accepted, according to Carla Pedrussian, the marketing manager for the sperm bank.
