The primary function of sex in eukaryotes is recombinogenic generation of diversity that evolved as response to the life-and-death pressures of biological conflicts. Hence, any sexual activity that does not satisfy this function is clearly either of secondary value or maladaptive

or accidental(not significant). Several instances of atypical sexual activity like svali~Ngamaithuna in various animals is simply accidental or the main function misfiring. In several primates, in particular the Homo-Pan clade sex has a secondary signaling value. In 1 member of

the presence of the behavior apparently playing a signaling role in our cousin P.paniscus suggests that there might be some 'weak link' in the inherited legacy code that could tip things in that direction due to relative minor lesions. What those lesions might be remains unclear
