Improved access to food and other resources.
Primate Evidence
Same-sex behavior occurs among primates like chimpanzees and bonobos.
It can reduce conflict and strengthen relationships.

Women could help protect, feed, and raise children.
Limitations
This model is a theory based on comparisons and historical evidence.
It does not prove that same-sex behavior developed through natural selection.
It does not fully explain sexual orientation.
Conclusion
Homoerotic behavior may have supported survival and reproduction.
More research is needed to test the theory.
