Are the winter holidays the de facto human breeding season?

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?

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

Edit: my math is off. They’ll have birthday in November.

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

I have a mid-November child.

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

Nope, that’s November. These people are ringin’ in the new year.

Maybe not checkers, but there’s jumping alright

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

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

Happy new year for some

Obviously fuck all on television after Christmas.

Wait till you hear about this global warming shit…

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

Ooops, you’re right. Thanks

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

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.

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

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

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
