Theorists have proposed that the main purpose in life for men is to father as many children as possible. They support their thesis using examples like Genghis Khan, who had only 16 known children, of whom he officially recognized only four. Mathematically, Genghis must have fathered many others, as 8% of people in Asia today can trace their ancestry to him.

Genghis used his military prowess and iron-fisted leadership of the famed Golden Horde to spread his seed among a harem of 2,000 to 3,000 women. His son Kublai had a 7,000-woman harem, comprised of beautiful women captured around the world.

The Khans did it the old-fashioned way. As with so many other aspects of life, technology makes kidnapping and conquest unnecessary for men who feel they must attempt to genetically dominate the world.

One of my clients is a DNA testing firm. Before I started working for this company, it had never crossed my mind that a sperm bank doctor might get out of line and substitute his own sperm when inseminating a patient.
