Ari Nagel vowed to stop “spreading his seed” when he turns 50.
The Sperminator has 165 reasons — and counting — to celebrate this Father’s Day.
Ari Nagel, a 48-year-old Brooklynite, welcomed his 165th child into the world on Wednesday — but will soon retire from spreading his seed, he told The Post.
“I’ll stop when I’m 50,” Nagel, who will turn 49 in August, told The Post.

Nagel said he and a handful of his kids, along with their mothers, will go to the Bronx Zoo on Sunday.
“Physically I can keep going, but there may be increased risks for things like autism with older males,” he explained via text from a cruise ship in the Bahamas, where he was vacationing with his first son, 20-year-old Tyler, and child No. 33, his 7-year-old daughter Topaz.
But for now, the six-foot-two prolific Kingsborough Community College math professor is celebrating his latest baby, who was birthed by a woman in Connecticut.
“It was that mom’s fourth child with me,” Nagel boasted.
“I have 10 women currently pregnant in the US, Canada, Asia, Africa and Europe … Zimbabwe and Long Island are due in July, Israel and Queens are due in August,” he crowed, adding that one of his baby mamas, a woman in France, is expected to pop at any moment.
Nagel, who shot to fame in The Post eight years ago, still hands over sperm samples to one or two aspiring mothers per week, he said, sometimes through clinics and other times in face-to-face, but non-sexual, meetings.
When he’s not growing his progeny, he vowed to “try to be a better father to my 175 children” – 34 of whom he hasn’t met yet.

“I’ll stop when I’m 50,” Nagel, who will turn 49 in August, told The Post this week.
“I’ll never be able to be as good of a dad to my kids as my father was to me,” lamented Nagel, who grew up in an Orthodox Jewish home in upstate Monsey alongside two sisters and four brothers.
“Having lots of kids can bring a lot of happiness and joy into your life, [but] I don’t suggest 175,” he said.
However, the Sperminator said he sees many of his sons and daughters often – mostly the 56 who live in New York, the 20 in New Jersey and the 13 in Connecticut.
“Some moms don’t want me to play a role, but I leave them the option if they change their mind, and most do once the child gets a little older and starts asking questions,” he said.

Nagel vacationed with his first son, 20-year-old Tyler, and child No. 33, his 7-year-old daughter Topaz, in the Bahamas this week.
Still, he keeps a spreadsheet with the names, birthdays, addresses and phone numbers of each offspring – and plasters any pictures he has of them around his Kingsborough office.
The photos – which cover nearly every inch of wall space in the room – depict little infants cooing in their carseats, small uniformed children posing for school pictures, and Nagel playing with and snuggling various kids.
After his Sunday morning return to Brooklyn from the Bahamas, Nagel expects that he and a handful of his kids, along with their mothers, will go to the Bronx Zoo, like they did last year on Father’s Day.
Additionally, “I will receive many cards and gifts,” he said.

The one piece of advice Nagel tries to impart to his descendants is to “embrace saying ‘Yes’ to doing favors, new experiences, invites and opportunities.
“It’s the key to a fulfilling life. I say yes to everything,” he said.
But he wishes there was a woman out there who would say yes to him.

“I will receive many cards and gifts” on Father’s Day, Nagel said.
“I have the dating apps, but haven’t had much success finding a woman who wants to date someone with 165 kids and 10 women pregnant. I’m also pretty broke — which doesn’t help.”
