Other animals have mating seasons, should we humans too adopt one? Think what we could achieve if for three out of every four seasons we didn't have to worry about sex - we'd have time to create world peace, solve every problem, build big bridges and buildings and invent loads of cool stuff. There might be other benifits too, so should we have a season, if so when should it be?

Oh, but we already have Spring Break.

LOL... for some reason, I pictured a whole bunch of men posing and strutting about trying to attract women...

then I realized I was remembering the bar I was in.

and remember, "Idle hands are the Devil's Playground" while we can do alot of good, there can also be alot of evil done.

add to the fact that Sexual Fustrations (for we do "mate" all year around) can turn simple disagreements into full fledge wars.

I think you're brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Poor fucks like me who can't get laid would never be stressed or worried about girl problems (or no girl problems) again. It should definitely be in the spring. Summer it's too dirty and hot, winter your bits and pieces will shrivel up and that's no good.

That's another thing, what ritual would be undertaken. I propose that the woman should pair of with the men who can do the best Sean Conery impression, with Paper/Scissor/Stone being used as a tie-breaker.

?

Animals that have mating seasons do so because of biology... The female of the species cannot get pregnant except once or twice a year. Human females can get pregnant year round, thus there is no human mating season. The idea is pretty stupid.

Alternatively we'll all get so frustrated we'll kill each other all the faster.

well I voted no but then I thought well we could have a mating season but still have sex for fun year round. It would be nice to know one could only get pregnant during a few months. I'd be down.

Have you not noticed the proliferation of birthdays in May, June, July and August?

Certainly. It should be not-February 29th. On every other day people should actively pursue mating.

david brin wrote a scifi book on the subject (kinda) called "Glory Season" where a genetically engineered human population had mating seasons--a different one for men and for women. in women's season they had to coax men to mate but all their children would be clones of the mother, in men's season the women had to be coaxed but the children would be regular half/half children.

it would be kinda fun to have the month of ... april... be mating month and everyone interested takes a month off and has a great time at various resorts around the world.

but then the rest of the year would be a bit of a bore with no sex and what if you couldnt get april off or you had to be in iraq or something, that would suck

I've noticed the biggest jump in birthdays around September and November.

9 months from New years/christmas holidays and valentine's respectively.

I thought the weekends were the mating season.

Yes...and while all you are having your sex, we asexuals will plot to conquer the world! MWA! HA! HA! <Curls evil moustache>

Actually, I was about to mention late April.
Of a group of about 20 friends, *12* of us were born between 14-28 April...

Something about those warm July nights, eh? ;)

I thought the weekends were the mating season.

:confused: I thought Wednesday was "hump day"?!?

Wow. I've been misinformed for **years** !!

I prefer the 'whenever your horny' idea. I'm going to go wtih that, and with that, I'm off to polish my gigatic super-dreadnaughts. Yep, this one here is the model 2000 Penis-extension.

Well it would do wonders for the tourist industry in the Southern hemisphere. Those wealthy enoough get to get two mating seasons a year. :D

Well, this is kind of a good idea, but I think that the season should just be a period of time where everybody just went into sexual overdrive, and not cancel out the having of sex during the rest of the year.

Dont we have one? I thought it was like late Summer or something. Not a mating season in animals sense, just a little bit more up for it.

Exactly.

no mating EVER!

You sir are either castrated or insane. Or both.

Second! But still I say no mating! Who needs it? The earth is better if we all would just DIE.

World Peace will never happen anyway. Also, think about the chaos it would create if we have 6 billion women going into labor at the same time...you'd hear the noise on Mars!! Besides, healthcare centers and stuff are backed up enough as it is. This would be a logistical nightmare!!

Plus, who could enjoy a football game with their wives/girlfriends in the hospital screaming their heads off? No one, that's who!

WOW! You are psychotic! You know what? Why don't you die first, and we'll follow your lead...sucker!

i wanna have sex whenever i feel like it!!!!

even though, sex has no meaning to me, so i wouldn't have it much anyway. unless it was important to my "significant other" to me, it doesnt mean anything. other than ya know, it feels good i guess.

Well, you guys can go have a mating season. I'll be sure to attack the world when everyone is "distracted" and you'll all be screwed (no pun intended). World domination just got easier...

And October. That month must have twice as many births as any other. Mating Season, if we count backwards, appears to be February. Or Valentine's day. =P

But no, mainly because we're kind of far away from having a profound enough control over our biology to make such a change, and secondly because I quite like having the choice.

Yes...and while all you are having your sex, we asexuals will plot to conquer the world! MWA! HA! HA! <Curls evil moustache>

Hurray!

But how about this: Males and females live apart from eachother except for one week each month or so, and meanwhile everyone is 'married' to both a man and a women so they can still have companionship all month 'round.

Okay, I'll stop stealing ideas from Robert J. Sawyer...

There should be a mating season, maybe then I could get some...................

Yes, humans should have a mating season. I think it should be year round... And with that I'm off to do natures bidding. ;) :fluffle:

I think it would be entertaining if one day per year, people just started boinking anything and anyone that moves and nobody was held responsible for this anomalous annual event. I think it would loosen a lot of people up. :)

Valentines Day explains the great amount of October babies, but I think April has the most, me included. I know 1 on the 4th, 2 on the 12th (one being me) 2 on the 16th, one on the 17th...honestly, July seems to be quite a horny time.

Humans do. Their mating season is 365 days long. ;)

Things that move are sometimes hard to catch up. How about things that don't move? That would also remind me of a girlfriend or two ;)

Every season is mating season.
Winter, you're cooped up inside, and in Canada, there is nothing good to do. Except... And besides, sex warms you up.
Spring, outdoor quickies.
Summer, hot sweaty sex.
Fall is when I seem to get the most action. I'm not sure why, but I'm not gon ask too many questions.
So anyway... I heard that it's mating season. What say you and I... ;)

I heard that October 5th is the most common birth date, and that it's caused by New Year's "celebrations".

:fluffle: humans do have a natural mating season. Its 3 out of 4 weeks of every month. I cant believe that this hasnt been said already! Of course there are variations but an average woman this holds true.

Actually, humans did have mating season back when the division of labor was primitive. In farming cultures, it was best to have babies born at the end of crop harvest, so subtract 6 months and mate there....at least that was what Ancient Ur was like when I read about it.

Should Humans have a mating season?
If it means I get laid more often, then yes.

Humans do. Their mating season is 365 days long. ;)

Which leaves a little under four hours a year to do everything else.

Plus a day on leap years. That's when I do laundry.
