Procreation is the sexual activity of conceiving and bearing offspring.

'''Procreation''' is the process of conceiving and bearing offspring.  It is the most essential activity of all forms of life, from the virus to man.  In multicellular life (and even in some single-celled animals), procreation occurs as a result of sexual activity, in which genes are combined from a male and female of a species to produce offspring with hybrid vigor.

Some ancient philosophers believe that it is in man's nature to procreate as often as possible to ensure that his genetic traits are passed on.  In nature this is apparent as many animals do not have just one mate. <ref>[http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~taflinge/socsex.html | Social Basis of Human Sexuality]</ref>
