No. “Going into heat” is a thing specific to female mammals that have an estrous cycle, where they start producing pheromones to alert any males of their species that they're fertile. Dogs and cats go into heat.

Do all female mammals go into heat?
estrus, also spelled Oestrus, the period in the sexual cycle of female mammals, except the higher primates, during which they are in heat—i.e., ready to accept a male and to mate. One or more periods of estrus may occur during the breeding season of a species.
Can a human male go into heat?
No. First off, males continuously produce sperm and, therefore, are always sexually receptive, so they do not go into heat.
Are humans always in heat?
While humans can mate all year long, other female mammals have an estrous cycle. This is when they're “in heat.” Changes in the animal's physiology and behavior occur. It only happens once a year. But a woman's sex drive can be active at any time of year.
Do monkeys go into heat?
Females of most vertebrate species exhibit recurring periods of heightened sexual activity in which they are sexually attractive, proceptive and receptive to males. In mammalian females (except Old World monkeys, apes and humans), this periodic sex appeal is referred to as 'heat' or 'estrus'.
Do humans have a mating season?
Humans are pretty unusual in having sex throughout the year rather than saving it for a specific mating season. Most animals time their reproductive season so that young are born or hatch when there is more food available and the weather isn't so harsh.
Do rabbits go into heat?
The female rabbit (doe) does not come into heat (oestrus) as do other animals. The doe will accept the male (buck) at any time of the year. Does are mature and can breed at 5 to 6 months of age and can continue to have young for 4 years.
Do wolves go into heat?
A mature female wolf comes into estrus once a year. Thus, a breeding pair produces one litter of pups each spring, but in areas of high prey abundance more than one female in a pack may give birth. An average litter size for gray and red wolves is 4 to 6, but sometimes fewer pups are born and sometimes more.
Do all female animals have a period?
Most female mammals have an estrous cycle, yet only ten primate species, four bats species, the elephant shrew, and one known species of spiny mouse have a menstrual cycle. As these groups are not closely related, it is likely that four distinct evolutionary events have caused menstruation to arise.
Do humans go into rut?
No. Women ovulate roughly once every 28 days but are theoretically sexually receptive, regardless of fertility, for virtually the entire duration of their menstrual cycle. This concealed ovulation is almost unique to humans and may have evolved as a way of reducing conflict over mating partners in groups.
Why do humans not have mating seasons?
Most animals have a mating season, and it's usually a time when food, sunlight and fertility are plentiful. ... "Humans don't have a true 'mating season' simply because sex is had throughout the year, rather than saving it for a specific time," says author and professional matchmaker Dominique Clark.
How often do animals go into heat?
Some general "rules of thumb" for canine estrus:
The first estrus cycle usually occurs by age 6-12 months; for some small breeds, as early as 5 months, and for some large and giant breeds, the first cycle may not occur until 14 months of age or older. On average, dogs have two cycles a year.
Are humans the only animals that mate face to face?
Bonobos are the only non-human animal to have been observed engaging in tongue kissing. Bonobos and humans are the only primates to typically engage in face-to-face genital sex, although a pair of western gorillas has been photographed in this position.
Do monkeys have a mating season?
Our study focused on observing mating frequency and birth rates. Snub-nosed monkeys mate year round, with two observable peaks: one reproductive peak during the mating season, roughly from August to October, and a second non-breeding peak during the birth season.
Do other animals have kinks?
4 Animals Can Have Fetishes and Sex Toys
If that's the case, then some animals may be more human than we think. Turns out apes and dolphins aren't just some of the smartest species in the animal kingdom, they're also the nastiest. ... They're also capable of having fetishes, apparently.
