This study investigated the factors that are conducive to a motivation of individuals to donate semen, aiming to facilitate procreation by ART users. On the social science field, both donation and donors tend to be associated with utilitarianism, the search for pecuniary compensation, deviant behaviors; for some persons interviewed, there were difficulties to assume that they were being altruistic. These matters of personal conduct can be explained by historical and cultural factors. This research has shown that donation motivation should be considered in the spirit of a gift relationship. This study concludes that the donation of semen was primarily motivated by altruism. The almost entire group of donors had to overcome conflicts in the process of sperm collection, which were resolved by a life mission idea. In these terms, according to the investigation results, semen donation should be construed as a social phenomenon inserted into the gift sphere.
