"How come yours is so potent?"

Ari replied: "I need to be well rested and well hydrated, the timing also helps as you don’t want to have two ejaculations one after another as the count wont be as high.

"You have to space it out a little bit and obviously timing of the ovulation is key."

Ari helps women via a number of methods and offers his services completely free of charge.

But while the American is happy to have relationships with the children - having met and spent time with all but four of his offspring - he doesn't have romantic relations with the mothers.

"More of an issue is that there might be a woman ovulating like there is at the minute, I’m going to have to go into the green room and help her,  and I wouldn’t have been able to be intimate with the woman I’m dating over the past 48 hours as that would affect the count I’m going to be giving."

Phil couldn't help but ask: "This is a natural helping that you’ll be doing?"

Seemingly missing the tongue in cheek nature of his question, which wasn't lost on Holly who pulled a funny face, Ari replied that at 40, and with so many children to spend time with and financially support in some cases, he wouldn't be continuing it for much longer.

He said: "I don't see myself doing this when I'm 50. I don't really have a number but I'm going to stop in the next few years."
