Female behavior during teen age

Female behavior during teen age  

. The observations of the s@xual behaviour of the female Wistar laboratory rat were performed in various behavioural contexts and under variable conditions. This made it possible to obtain detailed descriptions of some clear-cut behaviour elements, to determine the reliability of their identification, to analyze their interrelationships, and to study broader relationships of female sexual behaviour. Except for the transition from oestrus to dioestrus, attention was paid to all behavioural states of the female. Progressively, however, the study concentrated on the behaviour of females with reliable readiness to Lordotic Reaction. Observing the behaviour of such females shortly before and immediately after Lordotic Reaction resulted in the classification of the elements into three groups: Precopulatory Behaviour, Copulatory Behaviour and Postcopulatory Aversive Behaviour. The exhibition of Postcopulatory Aversive Behaviour means that the female after performing copulation is transitorily in an aversive state in which she reacts spontaneously or to the male's approach with specific defensive behaviour. Copulatory Behaviour of the female rat consists of Lordotic Reaction, usually accompanied by Ear-wiggling. The elements of Precopulatory Behaviour include Presenting Posture (usually accompanied by Ear-wiggling), Hopping (invariably terminated by Presenting Posture) and Darting (invariably terminated by Presenting Posture). In describing these elements the intensity dimension of their motoric performance was taken into account.
