Men get hornier in spring, but is this also true for women? ‘Professor’ Love muses….

I’ve often wondered whether humans, like animals, have a mating season, or are we just horny all the time? Many of the different animals that we share our planet with have a limited amount of time in which they can mate and reproduce (that means shagging, dear reader). For example, Pandas can only cop off between March and May, as that’s when the females are fertile. Just imagine how frustrated all the male Pandas must be! Humans on the other hand are blessed with being able to mate whenever they like, meaning all year-round bonking takes place. Of course, there are patterns that show us humans are more amorous during some periods of the year than others, particularly spring and summertime.

This can be for a few reasons, including:

*   More sunlight – this has a direct health benefit, which is linked to increased libido. Sunlight also increases our happiness levels, which means lust for all things sexual also increases.
*   More energy – our bodies produce less melatonin, a chemical which tells our bodies to sleep. The pent-up energy from winter has to cum out at some point…
*   More fresh air – due to spending increased time outside. Oxygen provides us with more energy (see above!). Also, taking deep breaths makes your boobs rise up and out, which can only be a good thing for everyone…
*   Less clothing – warm winter clothing is shed in favour of short skirts, tight tops. The sudden change can cause twitterpation in men as they ogle all the pretty girls walking by.
*   More exercise – shedding all those clothes can increase our self-consciousness about our bodies. Endorphins are released as a result, which in turn make us feel sexier.

So to sum up, it really depends on the person, however both men and women are likely to be more horny during spring and summer. Except me. I’m always horny. In fact, I feel like having a wank right now before my next appointment......
