- Short Period of sexual receptivity limits the time during which precopulatory behaviour occurs.

Lordosis
- 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.
