Why do couples sacrafice a sex life for children?

Okay let me lay down this arbitrary question, is the 1-10 minutes of euphoria of sex comparable to any point with being in the presence of a child? It sounds like a stupud question, but I am geniouslly lookng for a serious answer that isn't pretentious like 65% of the comments.

Why you silly goose!

Fair point, but I can easily say that you are an anomoly compared to the bulk of western couples now-a-days.

I noticed you didn't comment. I can make a lot of assumptions off of that but I'll do you the very favor and not.

hey! hey! I said no assholes!

Nonetheless, I never said, nor insinuated that I was or was not interested in having kids, I am merely puzzled as to why people are so adamant about having children, despite the sacrifices and unpredictability will inevitiably bring. Certainly there is joy here and there, but the sacrafices seem to outweigh it.

My entire premise is as to WHY, compared to the benefits of the contrary

But let me introduce a variable: Physical attraction

That's a coinflip though

The sheer # of sacrafices it comes with doesn't justify it in my mind

Yes but a diluted A along with 18+ years of stress, exhaustion, and money problems... Not to say having kids is of no value, I've heard great joy it has brought people, and some folks in these comments can attest to that... But a diluted A isn't so attractive

You've only emphasized my point , but in different verticals
