Estradiol
The most biologically potent of the naturally occurring estrogens. It is produced chiefly by the ovary and in small amount by the testis. Commercially, it is prepared in various compounds, such as estradiol benzoate and ethinyl estradiol.
Estrus
Phenomenon of being sexually receptive, or in heat, as manifested at the ovulatory phase of the sexual cycle of the female, especially in subprimate species. The phenomenon of being sexually receptive, or in heat, as found in the sexual cycle of some species. A condition or syndrome of persistent estrus can be produced in some animals (for example, the rat) by hormonal injection of the newborn, notably with androgen.
Ethnography

Eunuchoid

Excitement phase
The first of the four sexual phases delineated by Masters and Johnson.
Exemplar
A person who becomes a pattern or model for oneself.
Exhibitionism
A paraphilia of the solicitational/allurative type in which sexuoerotic arousal and facilitation or attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent on evoking surprise, dismay, shock, or panic from a stranger by illicitly exhibiting an erotic part of the body, including the genitals. The reciprocal paraphilic condition is voyeurism, also known as being a "Peeping Tom". The condition of being responsive to, or dependent on the surprise, debasement, shock, or outcry of a stranger (usually female), unexpectedly exposed to the sight of the penis, in order to obtain one's erotic arousal and facilitate or achieve orgasm. The actual event may be replayed in a masturbation or coital fantasy.
Exigency theory
In psychology, the theory that, regardless of its determinants, human responsivity is contingent upon five universal exigencies of existence: Pairbondedness; Troopbondedness; Ycleptance, Abidance; and Foredoomance.
