Well this is a pretty out there hypthetical, but Yes, I think there would still be a lot of reproduction if it were seperated from pleasurable sex. It would certainly eliminate all accidental and unwanted pregnancies, but most human beings want kids. A lot of people might seek the clinical way to get kids, but what would probably be even more popular would be swapping. John and Derrick want kids, Sarah and Melissa want kids. So John and Sarah and Derrick and Melissa have some possibly boring, possibly enjoyable but generally practical sex, and hey look, there are kids!

 

As for the population thing. Yes it's low in some parts of the world, but it's also a lot higher in others. And on the whole there's a damn lot of people out there and some "unstable" population grouth really wouldn't be a bad thing.

But again, this is just a loony hypothetical to point out that while homosexuality does reduce the desire to engage in the kind of sex that leads to children, it does not eliminate either the desire to have children of the ability to do so.

That would be like the worst idea ever.  People aren't responsible enough on average for that kind of thing.

If one child gets a genetic disease the other doesn't or one ends up smarter, etc.

Waaay to many problems with that.

There's a lot of "worst idea ever"'s that people do, such as marriage, divorce, adoption, wills, elections, governments, driving.

But they all tend to work out more or less based on a combination of social attitudes and civil law.  I imagine that in our crazy hypothetical, a whole hell ofa lot of people would be doing it, and would end up being a fairly structured and most likely legally regulated thing.

On a side note, in our crazy new world, there would probably also be more government assistance and incentives for child rearing if they were concerned about population.
