Abstract
Evidence is reviewed suggesting that ovarian steriods modulate the expression by female primates of behavior that increases the likelihood of copulation (proceptivity), in addition to affecting females' sexual attractivity. Data often cited as showing that circulating androgens regulate sexual proceptivity and receptivity in female primates are critically reviewed. The essential interaction of social and endocrine factors in the control of female primates' sexual activity is emphasized.Keywords
