The highest mountain of the Adyrsu gorge (4277.3 meters), which is located on the territory of the Elbrus national reserve, has many names: Divine Mountain, Ulutau, Mother Mountain. Mount Ulutau impresses with its grandeur and pristine beauty.

The legend says that the shrine fulfills only the desires of women: the one who could not get married in any way finds a groom, and the barren one, who climbed the Mother Mountain, becomes pregnant in the same year. The most unhappy and desperate, returning home, dramatically changed their fate. Their careers took off. The unemployed within a month or two suddenly received offers that they did not even dare to dream of. Singles quickly and successfully married. Aspiring to divorce - reconciled.

This place is popular in Nalchik. Special groups are organized for those wishing to make a pilgrimage. In order for the cherished desire to come true, a special state of body and spirit is necessary. The conditions for ascent are the same for everyone - a complete rejection of civilization and meat food. There is no electricity in the wooden house where the guests of Mother Mountain stay. In order to warm the water, a fire is made, but this does not frighten women who are ready for anything for the sake of a child. It is no coincidence that the locals call it God's mountain. "Here you feel like in a temple.

Meditations and prayers are held on the mountain, after which a piece of cloth with a wish is tied to a tree at the foot. The tree growing here is full of ribbons. One word is carefully drawn on each: “son” or “daughter”.

9. in Kolomenskoye , Where are “Maiden Stone” and “Goose Stone” (Moscow).

Kolomenskoye is one of the most beautiful parks in Moscow. It used to be a royal residence, now it is a museum-reserve. There are many historical monuments here: the Church of the Ascension of the Lord, the House of Peter I, the wooden church of St. George the Victorious, a water mill, the lion gates of the Moscow Kremlin and much more.

But there are mystical and mysterious places here. In the former village of Dyakovo in Kolomenskoye, on the edge of a ravine called Golosov, stands the Church of the Beheading of John the Baptist. This place has long been known as a mysterious and anomalous place. At the bottom of the Voice ravine there are two huge stones: "Maiden" and "Gus". Their weight is about 5 thousand tons. The bulk of these boulders are in the ground, and small peaks come to the surface. These blocks of quartz sandstone of the Lower Cretaceous period brought glaciers to Moscow from Scandinavia during the Ice Age. The ancient pagans used these stones as altars on which sacrifices were made to the gods. Many believe that these giant giants still have not lost their magical properties. They still energize and help fulfill wishes.

Maiden Stone is shaped like a turtle. It is believed that each part of it, with the right interaction, heals one or another organ, and it is especially effective for female infertility. According to some reports, this stone is called Perunov, its age is 4-5 thousand years. And if a man sits on the "Goose Stone", his "male" strength will double. It is believed that their age is 4-5 thousand years.

Legends explain the appearance of these wonderful stones in the following way. Saint George fought the Serpent. George won, but lost his horse. Its remnants turned into a “Male” and “Male” stone, which is better known as “Goose”. Where the horse's hooves stepped, springs formed there.

Here is the ritual to be done in a holy place for infertility in order to get pregnant. Women need to bring ribbons.

1. Draw some water from the spring (better to take a small mug with you).

2. Sit on the "Maiden" stone and silently make a wish.

3. Drink some water

4. Tie a ribbon near a nearby tree.

The husband can do this ritual with the male "Goose-stone"

10. Icon of the Mother of God called "Help in childbirth" (Nizhny Novgorod region, Arzamas).

Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos with the inscription "Kako helps wives to give birth to children." This icon is very popular among expectant mothers. There is evidence of the gift of a child to spouses who have not had children for many years after praying in front of this image. This icon is located in the Resurrection Cathedral in Arzamas, Nizhny Novgorod Region. In Soviet times, this Cathedral was turned into an anti-religious museum and all the shrines from nearby churches and monasteries were brought there. Also here is the Holy Crucifixion of Jesus Christ in the growth of a man and about 10 ancient miraculous icons, some of which periodically stream myrrh.

Ed Huben: interview with the babymaker who gave birth to 106 children

Europe's leading babymaker Ed Huben fathered at least 106 babies. At first, he just donated sperm (sterile room, plastic cup). Then - with the support of women who want to be fertilized - he began to do it naturally (sex!). The demand for his services is greater than ever.

MICHAEL PATERNITI

January 6, 2018

A couple of months ago, a female professor from Germany, guided by the ovulation schedule, arrived in the Dutch city of Maastricht and headed to one of its districts - not far from the center, on the banks of the Meuse River . She parked at a distance so as not to meet anyone (she has several fellow professors here), and quickly walked along the sidewalk towards Ed Huben's apartment. On the way, she met a father and son walking around the evening city. “Look, son,” said the father, pointing to the window of the third floor, from which a measured radiance poured, spread by a lamp in the shape of a star. “The babymaker lives here.”

When the professor told Ed about this, he was overjoyed. Not everyone likes what he does. He often has to spend a lot of time explaining the essence of his vocation, including all his Dutch honesty for this. The dialogue between father and son is Ed's small victory, his contribution to the creation of a world in which the babymaker lives quietly in the neighborhood, without causing anyone bouts of shame or foul language. He lives and works, always in full combat readiness.

Ed slept with someone else's wife for the first time in Amsterdam. It was 15 years ago, he was then 32 years old. He considered himself an unattractive fat man, with whom hardly anyone would want to spend the night. Ed wasn't a virgin, but his intimate life wasn't in full swing. The last time he had sex was ten years ago, although, according to him, he already had something to do. Work, voluntary participation in the National Guard and the reconstruction of historical battles - typical activities for men of this build and lifestyle - took all the time and effort. Then Ed made an important decision. Imbued with the conviction that his family does not shine for him, he decided to become a sperm donor. Twice a month he came to the clinic and donated semen in exchange for money. The first time they didn't even ask him for his name. “I thought it was a solemn ceremony, accompanied by fanfare,” complains Ed. - I remember I shouted that the job was done, and the voice from the other room simply answered: "Yes, yes, leave it on the table."

The more he shared his seed with the world, the more intimacy he wanted. Ed began to advertise his willingness to serve those who wanted to acquire his sperm privately. In other words, go home. "Produce a product" in the bathroom, deliver it upstairs to the bedroom - knock-knock, it's me, your future baby - and quietly leave, giving happy parents the opportunity to use his gift on their own.

Then, in Amsterdam, everything was as it should be. A woman on a bicycle met him at the station, took him to her home, where her husband was waiting for them. She cooked dinner, the three of them talked until eleven o'clock. The woman smoked a joint, then, all nervous, went upstairs. The husband continued the conversation as if nothing had happened. But Ed worked full time in Maastricht, then spent two hours shaking on the train - and by that time he had sat up so much that he missed the last train home. It even occurred to him that he was perhaps too carried away by serving other people's needs.

He knew how much the couple wanted a child, and just as much wanted to help them. Sperm donation, no matter how ridiculous it may sound, has become the meaning of his life. “I have to ask you a question,” Ed cut him off. “I see your wife is very nervous.” “Yes, I noticed too,” the husband replied. – You see, she is an artist and feels a very strong connection with nature. In other words, she cannot imagine that a happy baby could be born from a syringe for 12 cents. She told me to ask you - she herself is embarrassed - if you would do us the courtesy to conceive our child in a natural way.

Ed was shocked. “I didn’t know what to answer, although I got into a situation that most men would find exciting. A man asks to have sex with his wife without any consequences, and I only asked in response: “How long ago were you tested for STDs?” Ed lingered for a full 15 minutes on the border separating his usual activity of an artificial "inseminator" from a new role - a "natural inseminator". To the unfortunate couple, that quarter of an hour must have felt like an eternity. Ed wondered if there was anything unethical about their proposal. If he agrees, who will he offend? Isn't that the way seven billion inhabitants of the Earth are conceived? In the end, he decided: come what may.

Went upstairs and entered the room; seeing him, the woman showed with her whole appearance how much better she felt. When Ed turned to make his husband understand that, they say, "I will continue to act", he saw that he had already taken off his pants. “There were three of us in bed: I was so surprised that I could not utter a word. Different thoughts fought in my head, including the most terrible ones. However, he never touched me. I just wanted to be present at the conception of my child.” After that, the presence of her husband was no longer a problem for Ed. And it’s not that he limits himself to straight married couples: he has hundreds of single women and lesbians on his resume. But in sex with this married couple there was also moral satisfaction - something that gave everything an almost sacred meaning. By allowing him to copulate with their wives, the men also embarked on a kind of journey that was as surprising and intimate for themselves as it was for their other half. By performing this sudden act of generosity and at the same time chastening, Ed gained a rare chance to save the couple from eternal mutual accusations of infertility and complete degradation of the relationship. Sharing his seed with other people's wives, he gave them the greatest gift - a child - and put the last missing piece into the family puzzle. The last thing Ed could count on in return was gratitude. But he just got it - with a vengeance.

Now 48, Ed Huben is one of the most prominent babymakers on the planet, the father of 106 children, two-thirds of whom are born naturally, that is, through sexual intercourse, and a third through artificial insemination. Plus, according to his calculations, about 30 more were conceived from his sperm donated at the clinic. But let's look at it from a different angle: Ed Huben, who once had sex once every ten years, has had about ten children a year for the past 15. And he continues to do them, at the same time writing his name into history: the BBC has already dubbed him “the most prolific man in Europe”, and European media often call him “sperminator”.

The key to the success of Ed's spermator is total openness. Go to his site, which is overshadowed by the "It's great that you found my site!", and you will see that Ed recently tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia (negative) and that he also does not have AIDS or syphilis. You can look at his photographs; on one of them, he, squatting, examines a curly-haired girl (probably one of his children).

Ed has no problem calling himself a "really ugly fat guy with glasses". A corpulent bachelor with a square head and an uneven set of lower teeth, Ed lives in a fairly large five-room apartment by Dutch standards, where his mother periodically comes to cook and clean. He doesn't have a car - he rides a bicycle in any weather. In short, Ed Huben is the strangest candidate for the title of "inseminator" and, apparently, the best in the world.

He looks absolutely normal, but lives an extremely unusual life. He drinks his morning coffee and goes to work (to spare his employers, he does not give away his place of work; it is only known that it is connected with the history of Maastricht, and he receives €18,000 a year). Walks around the Old Town, greets friends with a cheerful smile. His off-duty schedule, in contrast, consists of an ever-changing list of appointments, the details of which are dictated by the ovulation schedules of female clients visiting from all over Europe, as well as from Brazil, Australia, Hong Kong and Japan. Sometimes they take him to their place to make friends. In one record week, he had six partners and 14 ejaculations (resulting in the release of 4 billion sperm!). Another time he slept with three women in one day, and once he knocked up eight women in a row.

A few years ago, in an article by Spiegel, one of his clients, whom he himself found on a site for those who want to get pregnant, described him as follows: “There are no problems with Ed at all, he is so inconspicuous.” And here are the words of another woman with whom I spoke personally: “What he does is wonderful. But, on the other hand, he does not force himself. He is a man, and part of him may want to help us have a baby, but the other half wants to fuck the women he likes. Personally, I don't see a problem with this. Are we not allowed to enjoy sex? He doesn't force anyone." Over time, Ed got rid of shyness and complexes and now plays his boudoir role with confidence and dignity. He especially notes the fact that, according to his own research on the Internet, the chances of conceiving are higher when everything happens naturally and the woman has an orgasm (experts cannot agree on both issues). Ed hasn't tested his sperm for a long time, but previous tests have shown that his gums have an above-average potency; he says that although he's about to be 50, his sperm is "no worse than that of a 20-year-old."

In addition, Ed claims that his bedroom is completely equal and that for the first ten years of his career, he did not pay any attention to the appearance of his clients. In the past five years, he has revised his policy and now asks for photographs: "All women are perfect, but in a purely physical sense, some are more perfect than others." In any case, you cannot refuse him altruism: for those who have very little dignity and money left in their lives, he offers a free way out of the situation. “I am rich in children,” the sperminator jokes, “not in money.”

Ed likes to tell a story about how he was afraid to confess to his friends, fearing that he would be considered a lecherous lecher; friends, on the contrary, considered his actions exceptionally noble. He functions within a moral dilemma, but is not bothered by it: “Children should be born as a consequence of an act of kindness. They need to know that their father is not just a number on a filing cabinet. I forbid myself to be proud of what I do. I have no children; Others have children, with my humble help.”

His contract with future mothers and families is this: if your children want to know who their biological father is, I am at your service; maybe when they grow up they want to look for me. I will never pester you or lay claim to a child. I trust you and accept our verbal agreement that you will not demand money from me to raise a child and that I transfer all the rights to raise him to you. Until now, this faith-based agreement has never let Ed down: none of his clients have filed a lawsuit to get money from him for financial support of children.

Ed doesn't mind talking to the children he has conceived, but only if they want to get to know him.

Ed Huben - family savior or sex machine? Or, as seems likely in our hybrid age, both at the same time? “I help both the rich and the poor,” Ed praises himself. - They turn to me because they have reached the pen, disbelieving in medicine. I'm offering them a far more acceptable option than a one night stand."

Ed's house visits go like this. If a regular client comes, then you can omit the formalities and, after a little freshening up and chatting, you can immediately get down to business. If a woman is showing up for the first time (and they often have to travel long distances to get to Ed), communication must first be established. Some do it in one day. With others, you have to work longer, and Ed is willing to spend as much time as he wants to make a woman comfortable. When the connection is established, they go to the guest room. “This is where the magic happens – the creation of life,” Ed says without a hint of irony, showing me a small room.

The decor of the guest room corresponds to its true purpose: a double bed with pink linen, night tables on both sides, on them there are books on how to choose a name for a child, how to become a successful single mother, advice to pregnant women and new mothers. On the wall is the mantra Keep calm and have a baby, on the shelves are pads, fresh panties, bottles of water and juice. Sometimes clients leave small gifts - lotion or a sealed pregnancy test. Among the trinkets scattered around the room is a figurine of a woman (pregnant) and a child touching her belly.

Ed doesn't mind if the client stays overnight, as long as she is comfortable. If necessary, he is ready to try to achieve the goal several times. It gets more difficult when people come from far away: his Asian clients used to be delayed for ten days. Ed is honest with them and immediately warns about his schedule, which is entirely tied to the ovulation charts of other clients (he can have a dozen women in rotation at the same time). If during the visit he has free time, which is rare, he gladly shows the ladies around the city. He gives the guest room to clients: he gives out a couple of keys and explains how to get around the city by bus.

Ed seems to live the life of a libertine, but he is also the owner of a kind of existential Airbnb where he constantly welcomes new guests, taking on some of their joys and sorrows. Problems start when someone shows a desire to spend time out of bed with him (there were six such women, according to Ed). During the 15 years of his "insemination" career, Ed, according to him, had three girlfriends, all of them were former clients, and none of them, ironically, got pregnant from him. At the moment, a Vietnamese woman wants to spend time with him outside of "work", but her visit coincides with the arrival of a married couple from Taiwan, which threatens to cause unnecessary problems.

In an untidy office across the flat, Ed shows me photographs of women and their children, half of whom he knows: Jacob from Jerusalem, Eva from Berlin. Some of them are of mixed race and different religions: a Muslim daughter, a son is an Orthodox Jew. Sometimes he can't remember the name. Scrolling through the photos, Ed comments: “This one looks like a mother, this one looks like a father. It's funny, but half of my children are blond. In this connection, if we recall what we were told about genetics in school, the question arises: how is this possible?

One of Ed's personal heroes is the mysterious Englishman Derek, engaged after the First World War by the legendary feminist Helena Rose Wright. During the war, about a million British men died, and even more returned mentally and physically crippled. Wright came up with the idea: for couples who could not conceive, the services of an "inseminator" were offered. Derek was a handsome man who had made a name for himself on the plantations of British Malaya. He was sent a telegram about the dates of ovulation, and he hurried to the rescue: he fertilized and dissolved. According to rumors, he conceived 496 children.

Nowadays, among the followers of Derek and Ed's "colleagues" there are a lot of crooks. One of them is a "benefactor" who offered himself for free sex, but turned out to be completely fruitless. Another prolific sperminator was autistic. A Dane codenamed Donor 7042 helped conceive 99 children (of which 34 were in America). Then it turned out that he suffers from a dangerous disease that is inherited, can cause cancer and in some cases can shorten the life of offspring by 15 years. Ten of the children passed on the disease of the biological parent.

Ed describes his clients as if he were reading parts of a forbidden novel aloud. He happened to sleep with a pianist and former lingerie models. With 13 doctors. One disabled client had to be carried two floors up to her apartment. The other couldn't control her expression, but without clothes, she was the most beautiful woman Ed had ever seen. Another - from the former socialist camp - knew exactly how to deliver and receive erotic pleasure. “I saw a documentary where it was said that people from the former socialist camp are great lovers. Love in the absence of money was one of the few forms of self-expression available to them. One lesbian informed him that since she would only do "it" with a man once in her life, she wanted to try "absolutely everything."

Next, Ed reports on the husbands. One, from Istanbul, e-mailed a detailed description of how to arouse his wife in bed - and then, after a long drive, sat in a rented car while Ed and his wife copulated, so as not to meet him in person. Husbands came across with testicular cancer. Another one - a resident of Belarus - was born near Chernobyl. Like many men of his generation who grew up in those places, after a large number of attempts to have a child, he found out that he was infertile. The Chernobyl couple traveled 1,500 kilometers to Maastricht and stayed with him for three days; while Ed impregnated his wife, the husband watched TV in the living room. “They start thinking about meeting me after 15 years of futile attempts to get pregnant. That is, they don’t suddenly say to themselves: well, I’m sterile, so let this Dutch man fuck my wife.

Another husband frightened Ed with his appearance. A huge commando of a menacing appearance. When his wife told him she was still a virgin, Ed couldn't believe it. Then the husband dropped his pants. “Some have not been very lucky with their personalities. This one had an erect penis the size of a little finger.” The commando husband said that it would be a great gift to give his wife a chance to get pregnant and, in addition, to have sex with a “normal man” at least once. Nevertheless, he remained in the room to take part in the procedure.

Sometimes Ed's frankness is annoying. But Huben's doctrine, which he preaches, is cold and simple: the medical system does not work, and the couples who come to him have given up trying all other methods and are "beyond jealousy." The reason for his openness is to make his motivation very clear. So that his children know what motivated him, that the basis of his actions was concern for their interests, on the basis of which he copulated with their mothers.

In addition to the one obvious one, Ed plays many other roles: quasi-psychotherapist, quasi-friend, quasi-lover, and quasi-father. His life revolves around ovulation thermometers, pregnancy tests, bodily fluids, and occasional bursts of joy when everything works out. His relationship with clients is far from simple. After talking with Ed, you understand that the prefix "quasi-" is most likely the key one. And in general, at 50 he plans to quit - at this age, according to him, the quality of sperm decreases. Will he miss his current life? “I will probably miss diversity, but in any case, I would trade it all for love, for my own family. But I have built my life in such a way that all this is most likely unattainable. I think that soon a void will begin to gape in my life.

When the conversation turns back to the guest room, I ask if Ed has any specific trade secrets. "Plain secrets," Ed replies. The missionary position is the most correct, although he prefers to do it from the side (especially "if the body is tired", which, given the 40 hours a week in the service and the busy female schedule, is almost always true in his case). Foreplay - manual and oral? Ed nods, then clarifies: “All forms of erotic play are acceptable as long as they help achieve the goal. The more we are ready to accept each other as lovers - in a purely physical sense - the more excited, the greater the chance of success.

Has he had an accident at work? Maybe he fell out of bed or hit his head on the headboard? "No never". Although some time ago, when he was a test-tube artificial "inseminator", he happened to become a victim of an unpleasant ailment. At the time, Ed was inundated with donor orders; accordingly, had to masturbate intensively. “Sores went on the skin of the penis and did not heal. Even the family doctor could not help. I had to leave the instrument alone for a month and a half. I then decided: well, the universe wanted a child to be born, but now it doesn’t. During those six months, he changed his mind about many things. “Thoughts appeared that, they say, everything is simpler in a natural way, because there is always a lubricant in it.”

Sexually transmitted diseases? “I check every six months. If you give women free rein, you will have to be checked every week, but, thank God, no one has yet taken me for a heroin addict.”

Do you ever go on dates outside of work? "What for? My life is all about one-night stands. But I would love to have a relationship."

Is there a downside? “When they get pregnant, they disappear. You feel like an empty shell in some way.”

The strangest request in the bedroom? “There were none that I would call strange. I respect the determination of women who have chosen the natural method of insemination, although this may seem strange to some.”

Is Ed afraid of running out of sperm? “I have been thinking about this for a long time. Three days of abstinence is usually enough to replenish supplies. Once a woman from Germany came to me. We met her six times in a hotel in Maastricht - slept together, everything was nice. As soon as she left, a Belgian couple swooped in: they called me on my mobile phone and said that they were ovulating. I told them: “Listen, I just finished doing this for two hours.” And they: "Better a small chance than none." That small chance is now a seven-year-old girl.”
