Heatmap of birthdays Pretty much every country has a mating season. It’s late autumn / early winter here in the UK. Birthdays all year round, but definitely peaking nine months after those long nights.
We don't have

Not what a mating season implies and that distribution actually proves we don’t have one.

Also consider social factors- chances are more baby’s are made during celebrations, and wintertime has a BUNCH of those. I’ve hooked up with so many people after the NYE midnight kiss, lord knows how many kids I have running around this city.

Mating season absolutely implies the season during which mating is most probable to occur. There are many animals that follow this behavior despite being able to mate multiple times per year.
One good example from the top of my head is wild boar. They can pretty much mate all year round if they so wish. But choose not to. Their mating season is in spring, which is also the only time you’re not allowed to hunt them.
It’s actually the mother that will keep an eye on her young and make sure they stick to their mating season. If you shoot the mother, her children might just start mating at irregular times and thus bearing young multiple times per year, which isn’t that great considering they are an invasive species in a lot of countries.

Christmas and Chinese New Year + 9 months. Certainly seems like a “season.”

Technically, human mating seasons kind of exist but its a monthly pattern, not a yearly one. I guess.
Rin@lemm.ee 4 months ago
It’s also per human

Summer dress season is very much a thing…

When one of the main characters of Freefall (webcomic), who is a genetically modified female red wolf, was asked “what’s it like to be in heat?” She responded by saying that since humans don’t have a mating cycle a more accurate question would be, “what’s it like to not be in heat.”

From seeing cats in heat, I have to assume it’s like temporarily having the sex drive of a 14 year old boy on a first date.

I love Lemmy.
Here we are, in this holy year of our lord 2025
Wondering if cats have post-nut clarity

Some of us are just horny all the time.

Human Females are almost always carrying fertile eggs and producing pheremones and hormones related to the act of reproduction.
The monthly cycle is as such:
-
Primordial Follices form in the walls of the Ovaries
-
Primary Follicles and Secondary Follicles continue to grow and expand until the egg cells are surrounded in cyst-like antrums, known as an Graafian Follicle
-
The first Follicles to rupture release the eggs, AKA Ovulation, and the rest of them still developing in the walls die off
-
Large amounts of Uterin Flesh is shed to allow for regrowth (painful and bloody)
If you include every individual stage of the egg production and the healing there are about 8 or nine steps/phases.
Also Human Males, a lot of Males in general actually, would fuck a mailbox any day of the week if it had some pheromones coming out of it.

That’s because humans didn’t evolve in a temperate climate. Food can be found all year round in the rift valley.
Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 months ago
also hidden estrus evolved at a means to prevent fighting among women, so we as a species have stronger social ties, it also menas men have no fucking clue when any woman is available or fertile for mating, so were just ready ALL THE FUCKING TIME. which is really exhausting…

Yes humans have a mating season, it’s called “payday”
atlien51@lemm.ee 4 months ago
I think the snuggling season (winter€) is very much a contender

Then what do you call spring break
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
what on earth is a spring break
FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
It’s when the American White Girl migrates south in search of a mate.
medem@lemmy.wtf 4 months ago
We do. ‘Spring fever’ is very real. What’s less clear is why.
hansolo@lemmy.today 4 months ago
Because suddenly everyone can shed clothing and be more social. The oppression of winter is over, and the promise of having food and plenty later in the summer is there. Makes sense to me.
EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Today I learned I live under the oppression of winter year round

And not a burger?!?

Burgers would destroy the world. Pizzas are the saviour.

The most common birth month is August. The ratio to the least common is 1.14:1. Make of that what you will.
tourist@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Okay so let me think out loud
August is month 8
It takes 9 months for babby to formed
Okay so 9 months prior to August is…
Wait fuck does that include the first month
No wait yeah
So human mating season peaks in December
Makes sense.
In the north, it’s too cold to go outside and play ball sport, might as well impregnate partner.
In the south, it’s too hot to go outside and play ball sport, might as well impregnate partner.
So the solution to the declining birth rate is to criminalize ball sport
I will take my findings to the UN
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
TL;DR: it’s actually November.
You can simply subtract 9 or add 3 to the month number. If you want to verify, break out your hands and get counting months. Start with no fingers raised for November, then raise a finger every month you count, and see where you get to when you have 9.
A duration is going to include the starting and ending months. Do a very simple example: January (1) to February (2) is one month (2 - 1 = 1).
If you feel silly for messing this up, don’t. Off by one errors are incredibly common. I always count them out just to double check em myself.

December is peak holiday season. When people relax, and have time on their hands …
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 4 months ago
Yes, some girls don’t want to not have a boyfriend over the holidays due to social pressure. Not sure if that is still a thing, but it definitely was when I was young.
