I am in a similar situation with a different predicament, as in starting a relationship with someone right now isn't really a good idea. But perhaps a change in perspective might be beneficial for you as it has for me.
This is true, genetically, physical reproduction is just instinctual, if you feel that life has lost its purpose because you cant get laid and start a family, then consider a more spiritual approach. Shape deep relationships with those around you, and become a mentor to the people who matter to you. Just as a good father wishes for their kids to grow healthy, fulfilled, and even better than they were, nurture those close to you as if they were your family. With the way the world is, many may never be able to have kids of their own, but our spirits live on in those we have connected with. For me, at least, it gives me hope and purpose.
