 * Copulatory behaviour of females that insures insemination.
-* Sexual activity of the postpubertal female is confined to '''oestrus''' ('heat').
+** Immobility
-* Short Period of sexual receptivity limits the time during which [[Pre-copulatory Behaviour - Anatomy & Physiology|precopulatory behaviour]] occurs.
+** Lordosis(standing response)

-* Highly specific female motor response associated with 'willingness' to mate.
-* Triggers significant sexual arousal behaviour in the male.
-* Once the male discovers that the female will display lordosis, he becomes sexually stimulated.
