The analogy seems backwards: people who want to help for the sake of helping, as opposed to just feeling good, would be analogous to be people consciously interested in fertility, as opposed to just sexual pleasure.
(Since people of the latter type do exist, your point still holds, of course.)
Perplexed is drawing the analogy between the behaviours that are adaptive to DNA genes - vs those that are not - which seems pretty reasonable.
