(9) The importance of adequately preparing the women emotionally and physically for coitus, a matter which certain males tend to ignore, is emphasized.

(13) It is concluded that the small number of sperm remaining in the vagina following coitus quickly become inactivated.
(14) The paper examines two aspects of coitus interruptus as a sexual practice: (1) how, in the age of fertility decline in Western Europe, its meaning was reinterpreted from an earlier theological view that condemned it as licentious to a nineteenth century view that emphasized restraint, and (2) how it was actually experienced by a socially stratified birth-controlling population in rural Sicily, ca 1900-1970.
(15) Coitus induced ovulation produced a characteristic oviductal motility pattern consisting of (i) initial relaxation of both isthmus and ampulla (4-12 h) followed by (ii) increased isthmic motility in the face of a continually relaxed ampulla (36-48 h), and finally phase (iii) leading to restitution of both ampullary and isthmic motility to the base-line at 72-96 h. Estimation of ova positions indicated the presence of fertilized eggs in the ampulla and ampullo-isthmic junction at 48 h and the ova could come to the end of the isthmic segment only at 72 h or after.
(16) The blastocysts obtained under a low oxygen-SOD culture condition were transplanted by direct insertion into the uterus of pseudopregnant females 3 days after infertile coitus.

(18) Four pony mares were readily infected with the organism of contagious equine metritis by intracervical inoculation and one by coitus with an infected stallion.
(19) These findings also point to the possible interference of certain pathologies in correlating AP activity and time since coitus.
(20) In both of the investigations, the majority stated that the first coitus was with a person of the same age group.
