Re: ALPHA/BETA/OMEGA Dynamics in Fanfic

Male deer ticks get driven into a FRENZY by the presence of a female deer tick. They just mount everything. Unfortunately, if they happen to be the wrong species they don't actually get to copulate; they just wander around being all confused as to why they really need to be on this female.

Also, garter snakes have a heat regardless of gender. Happens every spring: they all form a giant mating ball once they come out of hibernation. Some of the male snakes even delay their pheromone production to impersonate female snakes... presumably so the other snakes trying to fuck them will allow them to get warmer faster.

...Not sure either example is particularly sexy, but those are the two I can think of.

Male Elephants also have a "heat" cycle called Musth.

I thought about that one, but then I decided I wasn't sure it could technically be called a heat cycle since it's not really divorced from estrus. At least, as far as I'm aware. I'm really only peripherally familiar with that example from a neuroethology course (which had a fairly extensive unit on pheromones) and then only in the context of musth being initiated at sexual maturity.
