Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how willig appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Auch wenn das Weibchen provozierend oder willig ist, ist es in jedem Fall das Männchen, das es nimmt: es wird genommen. Das trifft oft buchstäblich zu: entweder weil das Männchen entsprechende Organe hat oder weil es stärker ist, packt es das Weibchen und hält es fest; ebenso vollführt es aktiv die Kopulationsbewegungen.
