Compare and contrast libido with the desire to start a family

[Celebrity]

Libido is a biological trait which causes an individual to seek out sexual relationships with desirable people. As women age, Stefan argues, they seek out less desirable mates due to depreciation. How are sexual relationships similar to familial relationships, and how are they different?

When we date, we seek out individuals who are sexually attractive. Ideally, that sex will lead to a viable pregnancy and a family will be formed. Yet there are childless families. So sex is not necessary to start a family and family should not be necessary to engage in sexual relations.

Sometimes family members introduce us to future sexual partners and sometimes sexual partners introduce us to future family members.

Really, libido isn't biological?

Maybe you prefer the psychologically "conscious" definition of sex drive
