I edited the post, but you apparently started your reply before the edit. I decided that vast majority was inaccurate and I changed it to "Most people still have kids and most of those who don't choose not to have them. Also there are infertile people who aren't actually pushed out by sexual selection but rather infertility."

I agree with you that sexual selection is important, I just don't think it is vastly more important than it used to be. It's always been important.

Look at China, Japan, the European and many countries. They are below replacement level in many cases. Some are in free-fall

Mostly by choice. I would imagine most people in most of those countries have sex. I wouldn't count contraceptive use or abortion as part of "sexual selection".
