Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The substance that is associated with both higher levels of sexual arousal and lower levels of sexual commitment is dopamine. This is supported by the studies conducted by Ben Zion et al. (2006) and Garcia et al. (2010). Both studies found that individuals with alleles causing greater activity of the dopamine system exhibited higher levels of sexual arousal and lower levels of sexual commitment. Serotonin, norepinephrine, testosterone, and oxytocin are not specifically associated with these findings.
