I'm thinking it might not be projecting sexual desires, but perhaps it's distracting loneliness or similar. I think this, as you expressed wanting to fall truly, deeply in love.

It's as normal for some women to crave children, as it is for some to crave not having any.
Do you fear it's taking over all your thought space? Are these thoughts, interfering in your daily life?
It's normal to solidify your desire to wait, before rushing into having one.
