Aw, hell.

We’ll just have to hope that people can revert back to maturing at an earlier age to take on all the challenges of life. I’ve often said that we have extended a kind of faux adolescence way beyond its usefulness—that could also be a side effect of a materially rich society. That’s not to say that everyone should necessarily have children—it’s always up to the individuals involved. I think it’s also true that the heterosexual sex drive is geared toward mating and moderns have tamed that with birth control, a good thing, also, when you believe in population control and limiting the number of children you have. You can’t fool our biological functions too much, though, if you do want kids, by waiting too long. In the end, the “joke” on nature can backfire.

In my case, “waiting too long” wasn’t by choice.

Not that that was necessarily a bad thing.

And now, as it’s getting less and less likely I’ll ever be a father, I have to take this info under advisement.

Super.
