  People generally have a sex drive, then develop an instinctual drive to protect their children after they are born. Of course, contraception allows us to sate our sex drive without it resulting in children, so you can choose to opt out of the evolutionary process before you develop an instinctual drive to raise children in the first place. Most people still have that instinct ready to kick in for a child that is not their own if such a situation arises, which is still evolutionarily advantageous for the group as a whole, even if it’s not for the individual.

  Of course in rare cases some people lack that instinct entirely, but that’s the exception not the rule.

    Yep. Very few people would waste all their money and tear up their vagina and lose all their sleep for three years, and free time for atleast a decade, on purpose. We have an evolutionary drive to.

      Mine is near to 0. I have never feel that I need a kid. I have felt I need sex, but I can do it without repercussions… My response is simpler: people are idiot, have sex without protection and have kids.
