Effects of prolonged postejaculatory intervals on copulatory behavior of rats.

Abstract
Performed 2 experiments to examine the effects of relatively short prolongations of the 1st postejaculatory interval (PEI) of 21 male Long-Evans rats on subsequent copulatory behavior. Prolonged PEIs produced a superfacilitation of interintromission intervals which was maximal immediately after resumption of copulation. The effect dissipated by the last interintromission interval preceding the 2nd ejaculation. Prolonged PEIs following the 1st series produced reliable increases in PEIs following the 2nd series.
