This brings to mind a short essay by Larry Niven, “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex.” He speculates how the Kryptonian race could be continued with only Superman and Supergirl still existing..In his passion, Superman would obliterate any human woman; and even were a way found to fertilize successfully, the baby in normal fetal movement might cause problems in the womb. Reproducing with Supergirl would be wrong, because she is Superman’s cousin (in most states)..Niven suggests that the embryo be implanted somehow within Superman himself and brought to term that way. A pregnant Superman flying over Metropolis? No doubt he would be super-hungry, devouring whole truckloads of pickles and ice cream!
