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.

    I am aware of the reason behind the behaviour. I even mentioned that killing an infant gets the female in estrus sooner. I was merely pointing out that men aren’t like male monkeys. That men are able to find the idea of infanticide unacceptable, wereas male monkeys couldn’t care less.

    I am not applying “modern western morals” on them. Strange way to phrase it too. Why not call it human morals? Why modern western?
