Normative data on the fate of ejaculatory plugs were collected following a total of 162 ejaculations attained by 18 male rats each given three tests. Sixty-nine percent of the plugs were dislodged, 82% of these after three or fewer intromissions. Males ate a total of 65% of the plugs, whereas females ate none. More than half of the plugs consumed were consumed between the time of dislodging and the next intromission. Plug consumption is a behavioral pattern appropriate for further study.
