Well, I think most of us know by now that serotonin levels are connected to sex drive (as in, if you are low in serotonin and are depressed, you are NOT interested in getting it on. At all.).
But according to what is bound to be some controversial new research, male mice bred without serotonin lose their sexual preference for females. Yep, they humped male and female mice alike.
Now, some of my gay friends are the happiest people I know, and some of my straight friends are the unhappiest people I know, so corresponding serotonin to sexual preference is far from cut and dry. In fact, this study showing the serotonin-depleted mice are sort-of “ho hum, I’ll just hump anything that lays in front of me as long as I don’t have to get off the couch” proves to me they are nothing like my extremely motivated and busy bi friends.
Previous studies conducted on humans with responses to upping serotonin through the use of anti-depressants showed no difference in sexual preference.
Besides, mice getting turned on (or not) by sniffing each other’s butts is so different that human beings.
Um, right?
