Why would you classify that as a need? It’s a biological -intuitive- desire, is my interpretation.
Your remark is 100% correct, don’t worry. I (too) hastily replied to the OP as in regards to the reproducing mention I should have specified I was not considering the individual but the species.
As a species, we need to perpetuate. All species do, us included. which does not mean all members of said species must/should/need to reproduce. More often than not, it will be quite the opposite. Edit: says I, a 50+ years old married dude without children ;)
