Resumo

Sob uma perspectiva evolutiva, as interações sexuais entre indivíduos do mesmo sexo foram por muito tempo consideradas um grande paradoxo. Isso por terem persistido no decorrer das gerações apesar de supostamente não oferecerem benefícios reprodutivos diretos, reduzindo, aparentemente, a aptidão individual. Apesar disso, são comuns em muitas espécies animais. Neste artigo, revisaremos algumas das hipóteses funcionais que tentam resolver esse quebra-cabeça evolutivo. Algumas dessas hipóteses consideram essas interações adaptativas, o que significa que trariam benefícios para os indivíduos. Outras as consideram neutras, derivadas de características realmente vantajosas. Por fim, existem as que consideram essas interações como não-adaptativas e potencialmente prejudiciais aos indivíduos. Ao final, abordaremos uma hipótese revolucionária que, de forma inédita, questiona se as interações sexuais envolvendo exclusivamente indivíduos de sexos diferentes seriam realmente o estado basal do comportamento sexual.
