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 and binds dopamine less efficiently compared to the common 4R version. As a result, reduced levels of the dopamine “feel good” signal is transmitted in the brain. Individuals with the 7R+ 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.

How is the “promiscuity” gene inherited?
The DRD4 gene is located on chromosome 11. Variation in the DRD4 gene often occurs in a repeat region, where the number of repeats of a 48-bp segment ranges from 2 – 11. We inherit two copies of the DRD4 gene – one from each parent. We can inherit two identical copies (e.g. both 4R) or two different copies (e.g. 4R and 7R). Inheriting a “promiscuity” variant (7R+) is associated with increased promiscuity and an increased number of extra-pair partners.

What is the AVPR1A Gene?
The AVPR1A gene encodes the arginine vasopressin receptor 1A, which plays a crucial role in transmitting signals from the hormone vasopressin into cells. Vasopressin helps regulate water retention in the kidneys and increases blood pressure when released into the bloodstream. However, when released directly into the brain, it can also influence social and sexual behaviors, including bonding and fidelity. Genetic variations in AVPR1A have been linked to an increased likelihood of extramarital relationships or extrapair mating, sometimes referred to as the “female infidelity gene.

Conditions Linked to the AVPR1A Gene
Genetic variations in the AVPR1A gene have been associated with a higher likelihood of infidelity in both men and women. Additionally, other variations in this gene have been connected to:
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Altruistic behavior
- Addiction tendencies
- Eating disorders
- Social behaviors, including sibling interactions
