Promiscuity Gene DRD4 Test

What is the “promiscuity” gene?

The “promiscuity” gene is a genetic variant of the DRD4 gene, that is associated with an increased likelihood of sexual promiscuity. This variant is also known as the 7R+ version of the dopamine receptor. It binds dopamine less efficiently, compared to the common 4R version, therefore transmitting reduced levels of the dopamine “feel good” signal in the brain. Individuals with this variant require higher levels of dopamine to achieve the same “good feeling” affects, and intriguingly sexual activity is a proven way to increase dopamine levels.
