People tend to desire what they do not have; I bet at least some of your friends would like to take your place, so this is normal.
However my opinion is that sooner or later pretty much everyone comes to similar conclusion. This is part of growing up - a 20yo going to a rave party looks cool; a 40yo dude on a rave party looks miserable, like an adult wearing a pacifier. Think about it as the next step: properly raising your kid is much, much more challenging and resource-consuming that banging a bunch of 18yo chicks. And, at the same time, it does not prevent you from banging 18yo chicks.
The poorest people are those who come to that too late, like in their fifties. Really, one can go to Thailand and marry an 18yo there, but what fun is it if you are, like, 68 when your son is 18? My oldest daughter is 14, and it is already quite hard for us to connect with her. Would you ever be able to connect with a kid having 50 years difference in age?
