He arrived on time for his appointment. The fertility clinic was in a large office building on the ground floor. In the waiting room, there were several women waiting to be seen by the team of doctors. Some were accompanied by their partners, others were waiting alone.
He was a single man taking a seat in the waiting room. It was clear to everyone why he was here. He was supposed to produce a sample by masturbating into a jar in the small room with the magazines and DVDs.
After a short wait, a stern looking nurse called him and directed him towards one of the exam rooms. She followed him inside and closed the door behind them. Without any introduction, she began to set out the rules.
"Your wife and you have gone through the assessment and tests. She has been prepped and all we need now is your contribution. That is why you are here today."
She looked at him without any smile, letting her eyes wander up and down his body.
"The protocol has changed slightly. Because of some of the bad press and litigation, I will supervise your extraction personally."
He looked at her with surprise. It had been his expectation that there would be privacy.
"This is the vile that need to be filled up to this line."
She pointed at a faint blue line that was printed on the glass.
"Most men do not have any trouble achieving this but others struggle. I hope you have followed our instructions and have drunk enough water?" she asked.
He nodded.
"And no intercourse with your wife in the last week?" she continued.
He nodded again.
"Also no masturbation to the point of orgasm?" she concluded.
