"Anyone who even considered having a child after SHTF would have to be insane or stupid.

Yes, the human race needs to go on and yes there will be guys interested in sex but women will know it will be them that has to carry the child and give birth. That thought should be enough contriceptive for them.

I'd say having children will be something that will be put off by most by choice."

Before I address Pedro's good points,

First may I correct you. "put off by most by choice"
No, pregnancy, having children in a post apoc world would be put off by necessity, scarcity of resources, and relative dwelling.

Now, Pedro is entirely right, but we must consider two instances...
Having a kid and being "on the run" or not knowing where the next bed will be, something of that magnitude.. or being in a hot zone, even if you have a home of some sort.

The other instance is actually being setup, having a colony, a place where the child might be able to grow up in relative safety(until he becomes a teen, ventures down to the brook, and finds old fisherman Todd decapitated... then gets back to colony to find out it's been eradicated.. thus the beginning of an awesome mad max ripoff movie xD)


alo, Maricely, if i might detail something...
People who don't have sex in our society either can't get any, or are old cat ladies....
or really fat truckers.


also, might i remind everyone that the purpose of organic life is to reproduce and continue the species. Therefore, unless we all suddenly get the urge to let our race die, people are gonna procreate. Its that simple.
