Trent Arsenault -- a sperm donor who's fathered approximately 14 kids, many with lesbian couples -- appeared on Anderson Cooper's talk show Tuesday to discuss numerous topics, including his virginity.

Arsenault is well-known in the Bay Area as the go-to sperm donor; he offers his services for free via his website. He's now being investigated by the FDA, which has cited health concerns. Arsenault's infamy grew after it was discovered that he films himself making his "deposits" and posts the videos on XTube.com.

Appearing on Anderson, Arsenault called himself a "donorsexual," meaning he's neither gay nor straight. He's also never had sex with a partner. Click here to watch the video.
