How different would civilization be if humans had "mating season" ?
Let's imagine, a world where 10 month a year, men and women don't care about each other. However, twice a year, during 2-3 weeks, non pregnant women produce pheromone that men can't resist and start calling every boy around to breed with them.
How would this impact the civilisation ?
I know about David Brin's *glory season * but not sure whether any other writer explored that idea.

We sortof do, there's a huge cluster of birthdays roughly july to september
here's a chart!
what's fascinating to me about this is how people are clearly using medical science to avoid giving birth on certain holidays.
Doctors also influence the avoidance of holidays there
that's a good point! nobody wants to do labor of either kind on xmas.
Fascinating stuff but is this a global chart or is it limited to a single country? Or hemisphere?
judging from the weird void on july 4th, i am guessing it is based on data from the US. probably based on census records.
So Christmas?
Or just winter, I think. Lots of people indoors with nothing better to do.
Edit: actually, I'm curious how this chart looks for just the southern hemisphere.
