Is the impulse to reproduce the same as the impulse to have sex?

  What does the fertility rate and surveys of people of reproductive age tell us?

    Well, the recent studies say nobody is having sex anymore, especially among the younger generations. So, people are not having sex and people are not having children. I’m not sure what that says. If people were having sex without having kids, that would mean something, but that isn’t the reality.

      Consider asking Pew Research. info at pewresearch dot org. They have an "Ask the Expert" service which is equivalent to a research assistant for their corpus and methodologies.
