Regulate and coordinate the other three factors. Distinction of a reproductive partner of the opposite sex: sexual reflexes. The attainment of the last phase of copulation. Ovulation reflex as a result of coitus: reinforcement processes. The stimulation from sex is pleasant, thus copulation occurs often: acquired factors for reproductive behaviour, species recognition, sexual motivation to seek genital contact. Strongly affected by hormone release at puberty: sexual socialization, the ability to use proper positioning during coitus. If not learned, male primates (and other species) are incapable of coitus.
