Are the winter holidays the de facto human breeding season?

  I’ve heard that statistically November has a lot of birthdays, presumably because of valentine’s day. I was probably concieved on valentine’s day

  There’s no “it’s too hot to have sex” in winter

      It’ll make extremes more extreme. More indoor cold weather fucking!

  This data analysis seems to suggest that yes, July through October have higher birth rates in the United States, with maybe 10% higher births than similar days between April and June.

  Guess there’s a fair share of Valentine’s babies among them

    Early to mid November is a tell-tale sign of someone being a Valentine’s gift.

    Also some Christmas/New Years babies. Then just the general cold months not going out in the snow and it’s not sticky, so it’s a nice time to share warmth and snuggle

      We have the same phenomena in the global south which is hot af at that time, so it’s more related to Christmas/New Year drunkenness imho. Or people not working and having more time to fuck

    Just for clarification: are we talking Valentine’s Day or is there a Valentine we should all know (of we don’t already)?

      St Valentine. He’s pretty old, but he still gets around. The stories of him being executed in the 3rd century are exaggerated.

  Most people live in the northern hemisphere, winter in January is cold and miserable for a lot of the planet. What do you think people are supposed to do inside? Play checkers?

  • mysticpickle@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Maybe not checkers, but there’s jumping alright

  There’s even a stereotype about it. Humans subconsciously tend to start actively dating in the fall. Something about having a warm body to sleep next to in the winter. I think it’s evolutionary
