"The situation has improved in recent years as more people, especially college students, have developed an interest in donating sperm," Tang said.
"Students are much more open-minded than older generations."
Moreover, the percentage of sperm that is acceptable has increased from 20 percent three years ago to 30 percent last year, according to the bank's sources.
"Many students with master and doctor degrees come to donate sperm. Their sperm is more valuable," Tang said.
Students, like Liu Guohao, from Guangzhou Medical University, said sperm donations are important in helping infertile couples.
"I'm not worried about the social discrimination. It is very normal," Liu said.
The Guangdong sperm bank has formed a close cooperative relationship with student unions in some universities in recent years to attract more students to donate sperm.
"Union members normally talk to students one on one in private about sperm donation, which works for us," said Tang Lixin, adding the bank has also promoted donating on university websites.
"We are calling on more college students in key universities to donate sperm. They will form the core of the sperm donation system in the near future," Tang said.
