What is the "Promiscuity Gene"?
The promiscuity gene refers to specific genetic variants of the DRD4 gene, which provides instructions for creating the dopamine receptor D4 in your brain. This gene contains a variable number of repeats that directly influence how your dopamine receptors function, ranging from 2 to 11 repeats in different individuals.
The most significant variant is the seven-repeat version (7R), which has reduced binding efficiency for dopamine compared to shorter versions. Research shows that individuals carrying variants with 7 or more repeats (+7R) demonstrate measurably different behavioural patterns, including reporting more than 50% more extra-pair partners compared to those with shorter repeat sequences.
Understanding your DRD4 gene variant provides valuable insights into your neurochemical makeup and can help explain individual differences in relationship behaviours and reward-seeking tendencies.
How is the DRD4 Gene Variant Inherited?
You inherit two copies of the DRD4 gene—one from your mother and one from your father. Located on chromosome 11, this gene comes in several different versions (alleles), defined by the number of repeats (from 2R to 11R).
This test will determine which versions of the DRD4 gene you carry. If you inherit one or two copies of the gene with seven or more repeats (+7R), you have a genetic predisposition associated with novelty-seeking and an increased likelihood of promiscuity. It is important to remember that genetics is just one factor; environment and personal choice also play a significant part in shaping behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Promiscuity Gene Test?
The Promiscuity Gene Test is an at-home DNA test that determines if you carry a specific genetic variant that has been linked to a tendency toward promiscuous behavior. It offers a scientific glimpse into whether your genes might play a role in your attitudes toward sexual relationships and novelty-seeking.
Who should consider taking this test?
This test is for individuals who are curious about the potential genetic influences on their personality and behavior, specifically regarding promiscuity and novelty-seeking. It is intended for personal insight and discovery.
What does it mean if I have the "promiscuity gene"?
Having the 7R+ variant suggests you may have a genetic predisposition to be more of a risk-taker and novelty-seeker, which can extend to sexual behavior. Studies have shown that individuals with this gene variant are more likely to report having a higher number of sexual partners. It is a predisposition, not a certainty.
If I have this gene variant, does it mean I will be promiscuous?
No, this is not a deterministic test. Having a particular genetic variant only indicates a predisposition or likelihood for certain traits. Your behavior is a complex result of many factors, including your environment, personal choices, and other genetic influences.
What can I do with the results of this test?
The results are for informational and entertainment purposes. They can offer a unique, science-based insight into your personality profile and can be a fun way to understand the different factors that make you who you are.
What gene is being analyzed in this test?
This test analyzes the DRD4 gene, the same gene linked to wanderlust. Certain variants have been associated with reward-seeking behaviors, which can include both thrill-seeking and a higher likelihood of promiscuity.
Is your testing facility reputable and accredited?
How will I receive my results?
How long does it take to get results?
