Being cheated on while in a closed relationship is one of the worst nightmares. However, partners in an open relationship some kind of agreement They also associate with people who are different from each other. According to psychologists, children from such families can normalize infidelity and develop a tendency to cheat in the future.

Well, regardless of such external factors, cheating is real encoded in our genes Is it possible for it to come out as something? Let’s take a look together at the research on this topic.

Cheating can be genetic!

Don’t get excited right away tendency to cheat It may be genetic, but it is always in your hands to choose the wrong or the right one. For example, we may not feel some emotions due to damage or disease in some parts of our brain, but because we live in a society, we perform actions by thinking about the consequences of our actions.

In the study we will discuss shortly, gene for infidelity It is seen that there are people who do not cheat among people with this gene, or there are people who do not have this gene and cheat on their partner. You see, if you think you can cheat and cheat and then explain to your partner like “Here’s my genes again, honey… you know…”, you’re wrong.

Attention, the DRD4 gene can destroy the socket!

A specific version of the dopamine receptor gene was found in humans in a study published online Nov. 30, 2010 in the journal PloS One. one night stands and infidelity has been suggested to be sensitive.

In the study of 181 young adults, a detailed analysis was made of each participant. sexual behavior and relationship historyWhat data they collected. They also took DNA samples from the participants’ cheeks and analyzed them for the presence of the sensation-seeking version of DRD4.

the same gene; gambling addiction, even alcoholism with a passion for horror movies even connected. Basically, we can call it “destructive arousal addiction”. Some studies associate this gene with being very open to social situations.

So how does this gene work?

Motivation, which we call motivation, release of dopamine It stems from a system of pleasure and reward that comes into play. Risks are high, rewards are important, and motivation is variable in sexual relationships in which partners break their commitment to loyalty.

All these factors cause the acceleration of dopamine secretion. As a result of this study, the cheating history of the participants with the DRD4 gene variant was found to be higher than those who did not have the gene. twice as much was determined as.

Regardless of your genes, it’s up to you to cheat or not.

As we said at the beginning, whether it’s encoded in your genes or not; choose between cheating and not cheating it is in your hands. After all, many of us avoid what can be counted in the “wrong” category we tend to, for ethical reasons and to consider the destruction the result will bring.

Therefore, we cannot say that someone with the DRD4 gene, who we adventurers, cheaters or those who do not have this gene, will never cheat. In addition to biological factors sociological factors too much to underestimate.
