No, seriously. Ignoring the whole sex aspect for a moment here. I know people who are only a bit older than me having kids and I have to wonder, why? No judgement, just confusion. What drives it?
The main elements, IMO, are:
-Instinct.
-Lack of rational thinking.
-Family and social brainwashing/expectations.
-Personal selfishness.
-Accidents.

I'm already bored of life, wondering what I even do with myself at this point to keep things interesting, what's motivating people to start families? Boredom? Love? Obligation?
I believe this is a phase you are going through.
I experienced the same when I was younger.
To be klear:
I consider procreation a very selfish act and does a disservice to the innocent child that is forced "kicking and skreaming" into this unfortunate life system.

Were you given a choice?
Something is not right, here.
