I believe this is subconsciously coming from an early archetypal spiritual belief (in the same family as Eternal Recurrence), stemming from the instinct telling us that if we don't reproduce our life was meaningless. Without a satisfied reproductive drive, we are only "half living", as reproduction is an essential component of the will to live.

These archetypes exist to aid communication between our primal hind-brain and the higher form of consciousness at our frontal lobe. Since, our higher consciousness would use logic to deduce that reproduction is in fact counter-productive to our own individual survival -- this is resolved in one of two ways: 1) the pleasure of reproduction in the mid-brain over-rides the frontal lobe. 2) reproduction becomes seen as a spiritual phenomenon.

Either spirituality or hedonism will overtake the fore-brain's higher consciousness, and it depends on how ascetic the individual is.
