Sexual solicitation (seduction: takes a form of a sexual presentation . Male: i. e. common chimp/bonobo sometimes display an erection (inviting to mate) Estrus: a period of heightened sexual activity/receptivity by female mammals, usually around ovulation (discharge of an ovum/egg from ovary) Periovulatory period (pop): a period during and immediately preceding/following ovulation. Anthropoids: mating is freed from hormonal control, can mate outside of pop ( non-conceptive mating : can mate when pregnant/not ovulating. Sexual swellings: estrogen-dependent swelling of skin around the vaginal area during the pop. Hypotheses: signals optimal time for mating (maximal fertility, reliable indicator of female quality, long-range mate attraction: attract males from outside the group, stimulate male-male competition (by sexually exciting males) so that females can mate with the best male. Copulatory calls: sometimes during copulation, sometimes at point of ejaculation or orgasm.
