We will not be the ones to tell you to be unfaithful and don’t look at who, because if we have learned anything from Shakira, Miley Cyrus and our own experience, it is that infidelity has only one possible result and that is to break the heart of the person who suffer.
If it has happened to you and you are in the shit, you know what we are talking about. For many tips to get over a breakupWhen what has happened is that third parties have slipped into the relationship, the excuses remain empty even if they are backed by science.
And it is precisely that science is the “culprit” of the last excuse that we can receive when they cuckold us: “Darling, it’s not my fault, it’s that infidelity is inherited and I can’t do anything against the genes.”
It seems like an excuse out of Patricia’s diarythat program that gave us so many good moments like thesebut The so-called “Casanova gene” seems to really exist according to some studiesand could (and be careful, we are talking about the possibility) be responsible for the infidelity.
Is the infidel born or made?
Already we explain that dopamine is a neurotransmitter known as “the pleasure hormone” not only vital for neurons to communicate with each other, but also to regulate our mood. It is linked to positive sensations such as joy or euphoria and stimulates us to seek and carry out pleasant activities. Like sex.
Well then, This studio revealed that there is an association between the variation of the dopamine D4 receptor gene (the DRD4 gene) with infidelity and sexual promiscuity. The presence of this gene causes variations in the production of dopamine in the brain, reinforcing certain attitudes. In fact, the study states that people with the DRD4 VNTR genotype with at least one 7-repeat allele (7R+) have a higher categorical rate of promiscuous sexual behavior and an increase of more than 50% in cases of sexual infidelity.
another study from the University of Queensland published in the scientific journal Evolution and Human Behavior explains that female infidelity would also have genetic reasons, which on this occasion are related to a mutation in the vasopressin hormone receptor gene, related to trust, sexuality and empathy. So the study reveals that 63% of men and 40% of women cuckolded their partners because of their genes hereditary
The so-called “Casanova gene”, according to researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, not only exists but is transmitted by the male gene. Our parents are the ones who “pass” on us the tendency to sexual promiscuity but be careful, science is no excuse for being unfaithful to your partner, far from it. To be unfaithful or not always, and I mean always, is a choice. If you cheat on your partner, regardless of the reason for which you do it and even if science supports you, it will be your responsibility.
Spaniards, monogamy is dead
Perhaps the problem with infidelities is that relations have changed in recent yearsmonogamy is dead and we resist having an open sexual relationship with our partners, either because of fear of what they will say or because we do not dare to have this conversation with our partners.
According to a survey carried out by JOYclub 60% have or would have an open sexual relationship, compared to 33% who prefer to choose monogamy or 12% that opt for polyamory. According to Cecilia Bizzotto, sociologist and spokesperson for JOYclub Spain, “more and more people decide to have non-monogamous relationships and this is an alternative that is welcomed by more people every day. This does not imply that the path of non-monogamy is easy: in many social environments it is still seen as something negative and many of us are judged for choosing to love freely”.
Perhaps Prince William is giving this excuse to Kate Middleton now that there is rumors of his infidelity, because he only repeats the mistakes of his father, King Carlos, who was unfaithful to Lady Di. What is clear is that if you decide for your part to have other relationships without your partner knowing, you are being unfaithful Say what science says.
