Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrasexual selection refers to the competition between individuals of the same sex for access to the opposite sex. In most cases, this refers to competition between males for access to females. Therefore, intrasexual selection leads to the selection of traits that give males an advantage in this competition, such as strength, aggression, or other characteristics that make them more successful in battling other males for access to females.
