\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

ADHD, or\u00a0Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, affects\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0366 million children and adults<\/span><\/a> globally (or that we know of so far, at least with an official medical diagnosis). Whether you know it or not, you\u2019ve probably befriended or maybe even dated someone with this form of neurodiversity, which is thought to affect the brain\u2019s levels of dopamine and can seriously hinder one\u2019s memory, concentration, and ability to function in day-to-day adult life.<\/span><\/p>\n

ADHD doesn\u2019t manifest in the exact same way in everyone, and it can even present differently between men and women. Similarly, ADHD can affect the sex drive in vastly different ways that don\u2019t match up with the \u2018typical\u2019 idea of how an ADHD person should act.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ADHD person is often characterized as being completely unable to relax, always jumping up at the slightest distraction and making impulsive decisions, especially when it comes to sex and relationships. They\u2019re assumed to be the enthusiastic and happy person in the room, and often have a reputation for promiscuity.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, ADHD can also show up as a need to do nothing\u00a0<\/span>but\u00a0<\/span><\/i>relax, stripping away all desire to work, be active, or engage in partnered sex. Those with ADHD might feel frequently depressed, stressed and overwhelmed, or see the lead-up to an orgasm as a chore instead of a reward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loving someone with ADHD gets all the more confusing when this already misunderstood mental health disorder becomes stereotyped. But when you really \u2018get\u2019 your ADHD partner and\u00a0the unique struggles\u00a0they face on a daily basis, they\u2019ll appreciate it in spades.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you or your partner feels like they don\u2019t quite fit the most commonly accepted picture of someone with ADHD, they might better relate to one of these four lesser-known symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

ADHD Can Dampen Desire in Long-Term Relationships<\/h2>\n

ADHD can give many folks an \u2018all or nothing\u2019 personality. If you\u2019ve got an ADHD friend, or are ADHD yourself, you might notice that when stumbling onto a new hobby or interest, you or they are\u00a0<\/span>really\u00a0<\/span><\/i>into it, like near obsessive level. And then suddenly, the interest vanishes into thin air at random, while usually giving way to a totally new hobby that\u2019s got nothing to do with the last one.<\/span><\/p>\n

This phenomenon might be a function of the fact that dopamine levels tend to be lower in persons with ADHD (which is why many ADHD drugs aim to boost dopamine). Another way to think of it is that the pattern of behavior we see in persons with ADHD may be a result of them constantly seeking novelty in order to naturally boost dopamine levels. Whether that means picking up a new musical instrument to learn, deep diving into web research on obscure subjects, or falling head over heels in love with a new partner, the ADHD brain is easily romanced by what\u2019s new and exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n

This same principal applies to sex, even when an ADHD person is still attracted to their partner and still really wants to be in the relationship after the initial \u2018crush\u2019 feelings have chilled out. Though the \u2018honeymoon phase\u2019 (the first 6 months to 2 years of a relationship, when the freshness and lovey-dovey, butterfly feelings keep horny levels high) happens to everyone, even without ADHD, it\u2019s extra difficult for some ADHD folks to maintain a desire for sex once they\u2019re comfortable and stable with a long-term partner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Those with ADHD might find themselves suddenly bored with sex, and because of the way their brains work, they\u2019re literally given no choice in the matter. It\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>not\u00a0<\/span><\/i>(necessarily) that they\u2019re craving an affair, in love with someone else, or even dissatisfied with their partner. Their brains are basically just telling them that they need more novelty.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s this very reason that can make some ADHD folks super fun in bed because they\u2019re often down to explore and experiment with new things. If it sounds like something that can get their brains excited for sex again, like a new sex toy, an adventure into Shibari bondage, or acting out a fantasy, they\u2019ll often respond with enthusiasm.<\/span><\/p>\n

People with ADHD Can Be More Sensitive to Discomfort, Pain, and Sexual Intensity<\/h2>\n

In a somewhat confusing dichotomy, those with ADHD are often overly sensitive to emotional responses like praise, rejection, or stress, but they\u2019re often touted as being into\u00a0<\/span>BDSM<\/span><\/a>. This doesn\u2019t apply to everyone with ADHD, though. On the opposite end of the spectrum, ADHD can occasionally have another side effect: an extreme sensitivity to certain physical and sexual sensations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lots of people with ADHD say they\u2019ve found novelty, excitement or a sense of release and comfort in\u00a0<\/span>BDSM practices<\/span><\/a>. For some folks with this form of neurodiversity, engaging in \u2013 for example \u2013 bondage while playing the role of the submissive partner can allow them to finally relax and stop over-thinking every single moment. Similarly, delighting in sensory experiences like spanking or wearing a blindfold can help them focus during sex and add something unique beyond the same ol\u2019 in-and-out.<\/span><\/p>\n

For others, however, kinky stuff like bondage rope, spanking, or anal sex can overwhelm their senses in a negative way, leading to feelings of overall severe discomfort, physical pain, and mental trauma.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some people with ADHD are extremely physically sensitive and struggle with even the most vanilla of sex acts, like oral sex, light anal play, or penetration. These same people might also have other physical sensitivities, like disliking the feeling of certain clothing fabrics against the skin or being annoyed by an itchy tag on the collar of a t-shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy for these types of people to become overwhelmed and feel stressed and traumatized by sex acts that might feel like bliss for someone else. Therefore, don\u2019t take it personally if your ADHD partner has zero interest in kinky sex, feels stressed at the thought of getting kinky with you, or has even opened up about having tried kinky sex with a prior partner and realized they\u2019d prefer not to ever do it again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, ADHD doesn\u2019t give those with the condition much choice in what does and doesn\u2019t feel good, and it\u2019s very rarely personal. If something doesn\u2019t work for someone with ADHD, that\u2019s pretty much that, and forcing themselves into a stressful sex situation will only cause their overall desire for sex to wane further.<\/span><\/p>\n

ADHD Can Make it Challenging to Focus and Enjoy Pleasure<\/h2>\n

You may have heard of the old stereotype of the 1950s woman who, unable to enjoy the supposed pleasures of partnered sex, starts planning the week\u2019s grocery list in her head while attempting to patiently wait for her husband to climax.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, this stereotyped woman may have been fully able to enjoy sex; she just couldn\u2019t stay focused on the enjoyment because of her ADHD.<\/span><\/p>\n

ADHD and focus are worst enemies. Unable to keep their brains interested in the task at hand, folks with ADHD are helpless as their minds wander into daydreams and future plans, and very rarely on purpose. It happens at work and school, during fun social interactions, and yes, unfortunately the bedroom is no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n

See, even when someone with ADHD\u00a0<\/span>is\u00a0<\/span><\/i>enjoying something, like a conversation with a friend or foreplay with a partner, their brains may find it impossible to stay in the moment. Folks with ADHD daydream when they\u2019re bored, and they can also daydream when they\u2019re interested \u2013 and all without even trying, as if their minds literally grabbed a jacket and went out for a walk without asking first.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your ADHD partner suddenly gets glossy-eyed during sex or stops making those hot-n-heavy breathing sounds, stop and check in with them. Their bodies might still be into it, but their brains randomly decided to start thinking about that one time in the 4th\u00a0grade when their BFF sang in the talent show, or what they\u2019ll wear to this weekend\u2019s party, or how they\u2019re super stressed about only having one roll of toilet paper left.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever the reason, work on coming back to the moment\u00a0<\/span>together<\/span><\/i>. First, make sure your partner isn\u2019t zoning out due to trauma-related memories or something related to past sexual abuse. Then try a new position, switch from intercourse to oral sex (or vice versa), or take things back a step and make-out for a while until you\u2019re both turned on again.<\/span><\/p>\n

For ADHD folks, losing focus during sex doesn\u2019t always equal disinterest, though it could mean that they\u2019re ready to wrap things up, at least for now. Don\u2019t take it personally, and talk through how you both feel. They might be game for starting things up again later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also if you or your partner have trouble focusing during sex because of ADHD, you might consider trying <\/span>mindfulness practices<\/span><\/a>, which have been shown to have some benefit in managing ADHD symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ADHD Can Make Some Folks Feel Asexual (Even if They Aren\u2019t)<\/h2>\n

One sexual trait often associated with ADHD is\u00a0hypersexuality. Lots of ADHD folks say they\u2019re constantly horny and frequently desire both partnered sex and masturbation. For these people, sex, even in long-term relationships, continues to provide the dopamine boost their brains are always craving.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not so common to hear about those who feel the opposite:\u00a0hyposexuality.<\/span><\/p>\n

For starters, hyposexuality is not to be confused with\u00a0<\/span>asexuality<\/span><\/a>. Asexuals never (or almost never) feel sexual desire toward another person and never or rarely think about partnered sex as something they\u2019d like to do, and they\u2019re generally ok with that. Whether they\u2019ve never felt the need to have intercourse since hitting puberty, or tried sex as an adult with different partners and realized it\u2019s simply not for them, asexuality is a more stable aspect of a person\u2019s sexuality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asexuality is not a temporary dip in libido or an overall low sex drive. Asexuality falls on the LGBTQIA+ orientation spectrum, and when someone says \u201cI\u2019m asexual,\u201d odds are they\u2019re not interested in partnered sex at all and are not distressed by that fact.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, some folks with hyposexuality may question from time to time if they are actually asexual, at least before realizing that their ADHD can contribute to their lack of interest in sex. Hyposexualilty is characterized by low desire and, sometimes, other sexual difficulties (including difficulty reaching orgasm, painful intercourse, and erectile dysfunction). Hyposexuality can be caused by stress, depression, or side effects from medications, all of which can affect persons with ADHD.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hyposexuality often worries and distresses the partner with the lower sex drive, as they may have enjoyed frequent, satisfying sex at the start of their relationship and now they\u2019ve suddenly lost all interest. They could have also had a lower sex drive from the start, but fell in love with a\u00a0<\/span>high sex drive<\/span><\/a>\u00a0partner, and now they\u2019re worried they can\u2019t please their partner enough to keep them faithful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Either way, ADHD can make\u00a0<\/span>anything\u00a0<\/span><\/i>their brains don\u2019t want to do \u2013 like washing dishes, doing homework or career projects, or even having sex \u2013 feel literally impossible. Hence, when you\u2019re ADHD and hyposexual, you begin to wonder if you never even liked sex in the first place, despite knowing that that\u2019s not true.<\/span><\/p>\n

Decreasing desire and generally needing less sex to lead a happy life are \u2013 truly \u2013 very typical occurrences in many long-term relationships, regardless of whether any of the partners involved have ADHD. Remember that your sex life will evolve and change as you both age, and perhaps even more so in the case of ADHD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When this happens, and if it becomes distressing, explore other ways to connect and foster intimacy \u2013 like sharing secrets, life goals, and laughter \u2013 when sexual desire isn\u2019t easy to access.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, above all, if you or your partner have ADHD, keep in mind that the most effective ways of navigating sexual difficulties that might arise are to (1) make sure ADHD is properly managed (consult with your doctor about this), (2) have empathy and understanding for one another, (3) develop solid sexual communication, and (4) be open and flexible in the ways that you go about exploring pleasure and intimacy together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
