Maybe hookup culture isn’t a moral issue… maybe it’s a parasite problem.😬🪱
Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite spread by cats, is known to remove fear in mice... literally making them attracted to cats so they’ll get eaten and help the parasite reproduce. Wild, right?😮
Now here’s the kicker… A large 2021 study found that men infected with T. gondii were nearly twice as likely to report sexual promiscuity. And a 2016 study showed infected people reported greater arousal by fear, danger, and submission.
Some researchers, like Czech biologist Jaroslav Flegr, believe T. gondii may subtly manipulate dopamine, hormones, and even sexual behavior in humans, just like it does in mice.
