What about your paternal instincts/need to progenate?

I'm gen z as well and I definitely want to be a father one day because to me, it is instinctual - something I need to do for fulfilment.

Monetary hurdles (and a terrible online dating environment) doesn't help of course and I'm assuming most people in my generation are in the same boat.

My sex drive so far has not been sufficient for me to ever date anyone, so parenthood is more of an intellectual/emotional closeness/personal project interest.

The instinct exists, but has never caused me to do anything about it before.
