That's not shown one way or another. There is a state I've heard called "baby hungry" where an individual wants a baby of their own. I've seen it in multiple individuals. The drive to reproduce is not entirely sexual. Though I will admit there are also possible counter measures for that, like virtual babies and pets.
Cultural aspects can be as important as genetic ones. We live in a society that recently discouraged having children, and in many cases still does. There are subcultures in it that value having large families, and those groups have larger families, sometimes spectacularly so.
