Notes -
I would dispute this. Lots of people really want to raise children- not dogs, but specifically children, and not 'have sex' but specifically raise children- and I would be very curious to see if there's any genes or sets of genes overrepresented among the subset of parents of large families, elementary school teachers, coaches, and scoutmasters. I would also be curious to see if housewives who have prevously been teachers have a higher fertility rate.
There's lots of women who go way out of their way to get the opportunity to babysit and a smaller but still very substantial number of men who go out of their way to take youth mentorship roles, and I'd have to imagine these people are probably underrepresented among both the extremely promiscuous and among terminal coomers.
It's totally possible that outside of certain conservative religious groups society does a bad job of guiding these people into actually reproducing. But the idea that pro-fertile genes are indistinguishable from just being horny seems pre-falsified.
