The 'Slut Gene'
Based on DNA scraped from the cheeks of 181 sexually active young people, Garcia has found a link between a variant of DRD4, a gene that affects dopamine receptors, and infidelity, one-night-stands, drinking and thrill-seeking. The DRD4 has also been dubbed the slut gene.

The Defaulter Is...
'We all have the so-called promiscuity or cheating gene, Garcia said in an interview. 'The DRD4 gene, which affects the dopamine receptors in the brain, is important for pleasure and reward.'

The Gene Kick !
'It (DRD4) goes off when you jump out of an airplane, engage in sexual behaviour, drink alcohol and gamble', the researcher said.

Sensation Seeker Behaviour
If you carry a certain variant of the DRD4 gene, you might be pre-disposed to repetitive, intense sexual sensation-seeking: one-night-stands and infidelity, he told.
There is a strong correlation between pleasure and reward for dopamine addicts and risk-takers: uncommitted sex and one-night-stands fit the high-risk, high-reward structure that results in the pleasurably, addictive dopamine rush.
