“My genes done gone and tricked my brain
By making fucking feel so great
That's how the little creeps attain
Their plan to fuckin' replicate
But brain's got tricks itself, you see
To get the bang but not the bite
I got this here vasectomy
My genes can fuck themselves tonight.
- The R-Selectors, Trunclade”
Peter Watts, Blindsight

Martin Luther
“The purpose of marriage is not to have pleasure and to be idle, but to procreate and bring up children, to support a household. This, of course, is a huge burden full of great cares and toils. But you have been created by God to be a husband or a wife that you may learn to bear these troubles. Those who have no love for children are... unworthy of being called men or women; for they despise the blessing of God, the creator and author of marriage.”
Martin Luther

Dean Cavanagh
“The desideratum of the philosophy “better to have never been” is parents being charged with manslaughter for bringing children into the world”

Hermann Hesse
“There was only greed for living and dread, and out of dread, out of stupid childish dread of the cold, of loneliness, of death, two people fled to one another, kissed, embraced, rubbed cheek to cheek, put leg to leg, cast new human beings into the world. That was how it was.”
Hermann Hesse, Klingsors letzter Sommer

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“For their never-ending endeavours to obtain or retain wealth, countries desperately need companies, because they—unlike most human beings—have the means of production, and human beings, because they—unlike all companies—have the means of reproduction.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana, The Use and Misuse of Children

W. Somerset Maugham
“How silly men were! Their part in procreation was so unimportant; it was the woman who carried the child through long months of uneasiness and bore it with pain, and yet a man because of his momentary connection made such preposterous claims. Why should that make any difference to him in his feelings towards the child?”
W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“Men marry for the womb. Women marry for their tummy.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Erica Jong
“In a sane world, love and sex would not divide by gender. We could love like and unlike beings, love them for a variety of reasons. The battered adjectives for homosexuality -- queer, lesbian, gay -- would disappear and we would only have people making love in different ways, with different body parts. We are too far gone with overpopulation to insist that procreation be an immutable part of desire. Desire needs only itself, not the proof of a baby. We would do well to baby each other instead of making all these unwanted babies that no one has time to nurture or to love.

At this point in my life, I am blessed by my friendships with women. I make no distinction between my gay and straight women friends. I hat the very terms, feeling that any of us could be anything -- if we were to unlock the full range of possibilities within.”
Erica Jong, Fear of Fifty: A Midlife Memoir

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“To increase the odds of being thanked, some people compliment some people; some make kids.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana, N for Nigger: Aphorisms for Grown Children and Childish Grown-ups

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“Marriage is the commodification of affection, copulation, and, reproduction.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Emily Giffin
“I have a fleeting fantasy of telling her that procreation isn't a contest, any more than SAT scores and making the cheerleading squad and getting into a good college and all the other things, both big and small, that she turned into a contest when Janie and I were young, going all the way back to whose baby teeth came in first, according to my mother.”
Emily Giffin, Where We Belong

Mary Balogh
“Ah, but we are women as well as teachers... We have needs that nature has given us fr the very preservation of our species”
Mary Balogh, Simply Magic

Bryant McGill, Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life

A.D. Aliwat
“If people stopped having sex, the world would end in about a hundred years. Think about that shit. If money and power didn’t exist, people would still be fucking.”
A.D. Aliwat, Alpha

Edward Hoagland
“She--the unnamed lady--simply drew his hands to the Paleolithic places men always have grown tumid from feeling, like the outward cradle of the hips within which a fetus will reside and her breasts that will nourish it, once born.”
Edward Hoagland, In the Country of the Blind

Iain M. Banks
“A new collection of matter and information to present to the universe and to which it in turn will be presented; different, arguably equal parts of that great ever-repetitive, ever-changing jurisdiction of being.”
Iain M. Banks, Excession

Nancy Madore
“For it is a fact that men must ejaculate in order to reproduce (although science may soon remove this necessity.) Women, on the other hand, do not need to achieve orgasm to reproduce. Men, therefore, have the clear advantage here, in that most of them find it very easy work to achieve sexual satisfaction.”
Nancy Madore, Enchanted: Erotic Bedtime Stories For Women

Merlyn Gabriel Miller
“Oddly enough you can get married and live happily ever after without spawning. Spawning is optional.”
Merlyn Gabriel Miller, Sex, Death, Drugs & Madness

Abhijit Naskar
“Evolutionarily speaking, love is all about procreation.”

“We were not born with a purpose of marrying and giving life to a son-animals are able to have children too and they can have many more children than we do”
Sunday Adelaja
