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.

But nice answer
Yeah. Note a very fun answer, but I’d go so far as to say this was critical enough in hominem development that there wouldn’t be human society if humans had a mating season. So many of critical points in human development seem to hinge on very social developments, and this may have played a large role in that.
Boink once a year, get no fire or wheel.
some would even argue no modified stone tools
It’s like when someone says something like “Oh if men could get pregnant there’d be an abortion clinic on every corner”. Not getting pregnant is the core attribute that makes “men” a concept.
