II. Code of Conduct

All Members

  1. Respect the Gokidu Terms of Use: Private message, emails, forum posts, social media posts, threads, and any other member activity associated with GoKidu are bound by these Terms. Members posting about or encouraging others to act outside of these Terms of Use will be moderated and/or banned.

Respect the GoKidu Staff: The GoKidu moderation and administration team is a group of volunteers who give of their time and energy to help make GoKidu a valuable and safe resource for our members. Members are expected to respond to moderation respectfully, and to present any questions or concerns in a calm, constructive manner. If requests cannot be met, members are expected to accept this and maintain positive discourse in the public forums.
  3. Respect each other: All Members are expected to be respectful and considerate in their dealings with each other. The use of foul or sexually provocative language, harassment, or any other behavior that makes the other party uncomfortable is not tolerated.
  4. Politics and Religion: While many of the discussions on sperm donation and conception may revolve around political issues, these discussions should be kept to the limited scope of the individual topic. Everyone has the right to their political or religious opinions, but these two topics can cause serious problems and will be heavily monitored in the forums. Please find another venue to exercise your freedom of speech on these topics.

Donors & Recipients

  1. Donors and Recipients agree by accepting these Terms that they do not use illegal drugs and are free of known sexually transmitted diseases and infection.
  2. Donors will take necessary precautions prior to donating (STD testing) as requested by the recipient and will not knowingly expose Recipients to sexually transmitted diseases or infections.
  3. Recipients engaging in donation that involves sexual contact (NI, partial NI, etc.) will take the necessary precautions prior to receiving sperm (STD testing) as requested by the Donor and will not knowingly expose Donors to sexually transmitted diseases or infections.
  4. Recipients should be prepared to cover the cost of STD testing for themselves and any other additional tests requested from the donor, as well as any travel costs associated with donation, shipping cost associated with donation, unless otherwise agreed upon with the donor.
  5. Requests for all payments that will be made or offered in exchange for sperm, eggs, or embryos, surrogacy including expenses incurred for travel, medical tests, or shipping. Receipts for all these payments must be provided to the Recipient upon request, or as agreed in writing between Donor and Recipient prior to incurring the expense.
  6. Donors will respect at all times the stated preferences of the recipients, specifically regarding method of donation. If a recipient is only looking for Artificial Insemination, the Donor will not push “NI” or any form of sexual contact with the recipient. Donors who are only offering NI (including “partial NI”) will not contact Recipients only looking for AI.
  7. Members may not state or imply that sex (NI, PI, etc,) is a more effective method of conception than artificial insemination (AI). Science has not shown this to be true, and doing so is seen solely as an attempt to manipulate someone into sexual contact.
  8. Members are strongly encouraged to insist on specific and detailed contracts that define the nature of the future relationship between donor, recipient, and donor-conceived child.
