    The only primal call I have is to fuck. I could not care less about actually having a kid as a result. If anything seeing how having kids has affected my friends ability to do so has made me want them even less.

      Agreed. Never had any desire to have kids, still don’t. (The wife wants them, though.)

      That said, when we had a pregnancy scare last week, my first thought was “well I’m 36; guess it’s time anyway”.

      She was not pregnant. Which was relieving, because I don’t think it’s a wise decision to have children in today’s political landscape. That said, if it happens, it happens. I don’t think I’d have a meltdown over being a dad like I would have in my 20s.

      That’s how the instinct works for guys. Then you have a little person to protect and it changes

        No thanks. I’ll watch out for other people’s kids if I’m around them but I don’t want to revolve my life around it.
