In the not so distant future, we'll neither need sperm nor eggs from humans. We'll need is at least one person and a lab. You could grow your own sperm and eggs from pluripotent stemcells (which can be made from any cell, even skin cells).

Inseminate the egg, put it into an artificial womb, and voila, no need for sex or even a partner. You could make your own child, same sex partners could have their own kid, and it would even be possible to have kids with DNA 4 parents.

Maybe the best news for women would be, that they wouldn't have to deal with any of the evil that comes with pregnancy since that could be externalized. It would render the menstrual cycle futile and push research into its elimination without side effects to the forefront.
