We don't go into 'heat' per ce, but most people I know have a hormone cycle, usually, though not always tied to the menstrual cycle. I admit to not knowing if one who's had a hysterectomy still produces estrogen, but if one does, then it's likely that the cycle of hormones is still going on. I think, though don't quote me, that even when one doesn't actually bleed (ie post menopause) that female hormones still fluctuate in a roughly monthly cycle. So, periodic hormonal rushes that make me hypersexual? Hell yeah. The week before and during my period. Usually every third week when I'm on birth controll and not bleeding. Heat? No 'cause that doesn't happen in humans.(Heh, sorry, my Owner is a biology grad.) Actually, my roommate is reading a book called _Sperm Wars_ right now which is basiclaly all about human reproduction and it's quirks. According to the book, human evolution has worked such that neither human males nor females know when she is fertile. With animals, there are clear signs of fertility during estrus (scents, colors all that). With humans, we hide those signs or never had them in the first place. The book says this is because human females want to be able to select their mates so that they can pick the most reproductivly advantageous one. Basically, because guys can't tell when we're fertile, they want ot have sex with us all the time. Because they can't tell, we get to pick who we want, when we want, and have the same chance of having sex with him. There's more in there about sperm competition and all that, but I can't remember exactly how it works.
