You are once again glorifying the human species as if special whilst completely losing touch with reality. Again, the only reason you're able to reason about reproduction in the first place is because your parents produced you. They were hardwired to do so and it's the only reason humanity exists at all. Every single species on the planet is hardwired to reproduce otherwise it would fail to be a species. Your genitals are there for a reason, as are the various chemicals luring you into using them for their purpose. Even your mind largely works subconsciously, outside your control, to steer you in that direction. It doesn't matter if you overcome that instinct and don't reproduce or even end your own life. You'll simply not be in the future gene pool. If enough people do that, a species dies out. Which is a total non-event as almost every species that once existed, no longer does. Hence, reproduction is not a "nice to have". We're not the only species to commit suicide, many have a strategy of sacrifice directly after reproduction. Many adult insects can't even feed, they live for just a few days with the only purpose to reproduce. Male spiders mate and typically get eaten by the female directly after. An octopus guards their nest whilst not feeding, until death. The point of all these strategies is to reproduce, and to then die. Skip the reproduce step and your species has no future. Seeking meaning and purpose is a human hobby, of no consequence to the underlying need for biological reproduction. Fail to reproduce and this hobby ends quite soon. As for a higher purpose to life other than reproduction, it's basically humans making stuff up in the form of culture or religion. It is whatever we fabricate in our delusional minds. They are ways for insecure people to cope with there not being any purpose.
