Human Mating Season?

Summary

The article contemplates the implications of humans having a designated mating season, similar to many animals, and how it would drastically alter human society and its connection to nature.

Abstract

The author reflects on the concept of a human mating season, drawing parallels with the reproductive behaviors of birds and other animals. The article suggests that if humans were to engage in sexual activity only during a specific period, it could lead to significant changes in societal structures, such as businesses and governments temporarily shutting down, and could potentially impact human population growth and our relationship with the natural world. The author also humorously speculates on the potential consequences, such as every human being born under either Aries or Taurus astrological signs, and ponders the importance of diversity and the human disconnect from nature.

Opinions

The author believes that a human mating season would lead to a more focused and productive society for the majority of the year when not preoccupied with mating.
The article implies that the constant emission of human sexual pheromones might contribute to overpopulation and a disconnection from natural cycles.
The author suggests that the lack of sexual pheromones outside of a mating season could result in humans concentrating on more serious matters.
The author posits that the diversity in astrological signs, which is currently present due to births being spread throughout the year, would be lost if humans had a mating season.
The author emphasizes the importance of observing nature to understand and perhaps reconsider human reproductive behaviors.
The author humorously notes that the porn industry would be financially impacted by a human mating season, potentially only being profitable for two months of the year.
The author reflects on the natural occurrence of homosexual behavior in animals, such as bison, as a means to prepare for the mating season, indicating that this is a well-known phenomenon to indigenous cultures.

How different would that be?

Everywhere I look birds are copulating. In trees, on telephone poles and rooftops and on the ground, birds are getting it on in an orgiastic frenzy. Of course that’s not surprising since it is mating season for birds.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if humans had a mating season? What if the only times humans emitted sexual pheromones and engaged in sex with other humans was during a six to eight week period? The rest of the time… nothing. What if the only time humans got horny and even thought about sex was during that short mating season? How different would human society be?

Most animals and even most plants have specific mating seasons timed to provide maximum infant survival. Flowers don’t bloom in the middle of winter because there are no bees and other insects around to help them out with pollination. Bison don’t mate in spring because then their children would be born in the middle of winter and no one wants to give birth in the middle of a blizzard, am I right? With a gestation period only a little longer than humans, bison mating season is in August and September and their babies are born in spring so that they have all summer to grow.

Speaking of bison, it has been scientifically verified that just before their mating season begins a herd’s alpha male will have sex with other males in the herd. It is one of numerous documented cases of homosexuality in nature.

The native Turtle Islanders, however, did not need scientists or priests to explain to them what was happening. They had been watching this behavior for hundreds and thousands of years. They figured that the alpha male was just trying to get the other males in the mood for when the females began giving off clouds of pheromones. They were, after all, invested in the survival and continuation and growth of the herd.

But humans are different than most critters. They are belching forth pheromones 365 days a year. Mating season is every single day. There is not even a pause. Does this have anything to do with the burgeoning over-population problem? Is this in any way related to the ever-expanding human disconnect from nature? Or was it part of our plan?

Seriously, try to imagine humans having a mating season. How radically different would every facet of life and society be? Have you ever wondered about this?

Let’s say our mating season was around the same time as that of bison. Everyone would take their vacations in August and September. Businesses would have to close down and government would have to shut down as the human population went into a state of frenzied fornication. The porn industry would only make money two months out of the year. Valentine’s Day and Labor Day would have to switch places.

And the rest of the year the air between humans would not have any pheromones in it and no one would ever get aroused. Human focus would turn to more serious matters and we would get so much more done.

Something else to consider, though, is that if humans only engaged in coitus in August and September then every human would end up being either an Aries or a Taurus. Can you imagine that? That would seriously cut down on astrological diversity and diversity, as we all know, is extremely important (something to be celebrated).

Last fall I wrote a couple of articles about some hawks that had moved into my neighborhood for a short respite on their southward migration. Well, they are back. Yesterday I watched two of them copulating on top of a telephone pole. They were really getting after it. I almost got dizzy expecting them to fall off the telephone pole at any minute. They did it numerous times over a period of about twenty-five minutes. (Are people putting Viagra in their bird-feeders?) I don’t consider myself a voyeur and I am not into porn at all, but I could not stop watching. It was quite a display.

I also saw some bunny rabbits doing it the other day.

I take several nature walks every single day. I try to maintain and strengthen my connection to nature. Perhaps that is why I have been noticing all the rampant sex going on everywhere. I am guessing that those who spend almost all of their time indoors probably are not aware this.

Anyway, seeing all that sexual activity going on everywhere I look makes me wonder about things. What are you wondering about?

Speaking of birds…
