1976 F. A. Beach in Hormones & Behavior 7 105 Proceptivity connotes various reactions by the female toward the male which constitute her assumption of initiative in establishing or maintaining sexual interaction.

1992 Cambr. Encycl. Human Evol. (1994) ii. xi. 91/1 Proceptivity should be distinguished from a female's sexual receptivity or willingness to allow the male to copulate.
