I witnessed a neighbor's cat in heat last year, and it literally sounded like she was being tortured to death. Not to mention she would sexually assault people (hump heels).
Were a human being displaying such behaviors, no doubt many Christians would say it's the devil or sins of the flesh.
I think simply we are mammals, so we are going to go through phases where we are sex-crazed and have very strong sexual passions, obsessions, and drive, and it has nothing to do with the devil or sins of the flesh.
It would be nice to not be tormented or frustrated sexually , and humans should have more control of themselves than other animals, but I think the Catholic Church teaching that masturbation is a deadly mortal sin, is simply not helpful, because mammals are naturally sex-crazed at times, and it's normal, so to make some of that tension go away through "sins of the flesh" sounds healthy to me, when not done excessively.
Also, I understand it has to do with cycling, but in your own words, why aren't male mammals ever referred to as being "in heat"?
