- •
We measure the effect of a novel sexual partner on Sexual Incentive Motivation (SIM).
- •
We also tested Partner Preference (PP) in female rats after mating with a known male.
- •
After mating, females spend more time close to the unknown male in the SIM test.
- •
In the PP test, females spent more time in the compartment of the unknown male.
- •
These results support the existence of the Coolidge effect in the female rat.
