Psychology of Fatherhood

There’s a vacancy in most guys concerning the topic of having children. It’s as though this void fills the place in us that mutes all desire to carry on the seed. There is no honest desire for it except when coupled with the opposite sex. Like two parts of a whole, yet without the other half the desire is moot. Part of it lies in this visceral appeal to see this significant woman in our life carrying our child. It’s this inexplicable contentment that goes with knowing that another person is incubating a part of us. Practically narcissism at it’s finest, yet there’s some magnetic force there that seems to pull the gravity of your life towards it. No matter how catastrophic the notion of reproduction truly is, it’s as though one can’t help but to succumb to their primal instincts when the situation arises. Alas, the moral of the tale is that unlike the feminine desire to care and nurture(the motherhood gene), men are more than content to exist without children, yet we fall prey to the construct of relationships, and thus our fatherhood gene materializes.
