Abstract
Attractivity comprises features or behaviors that evoke partner sexual responses. Proceptivity describes behaviors that initialize or maintain sexual interaction, whereas receptivity describes behaviors enabling sexual consummation. These functions overlap or interact in practice, and may be influenced by reproductive hormone levels, although less so among anthropoid primates, particularly humans.
