name: response to hermaphrodite contact
namespace: biological_process
def: "The response by the male to a hermaphrodite after initial contact following mate finding. The male stops forward locomotion, presses the ventral side of his tail against his partner's body, and begins moving backward along the hermaphrodite. Male response behavior is initiated when sensory neurons located in the rays of his tail contact a potential mate." [PMID:18050467, WB_REF:WBPaper00002109]
