ADHD and Sex: What You Need To Know (That Sex Therapists Cannot Tell You) by Gina Pera
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 4 mb
Overview: From the leading expert on Adult ADHD and Relationships, Gina Pera.
This is the first guide to understanding how poorly managed ADHD can interfere with sexual intimacy.
“Gina, sex is difficult for people with ADHD; it’s tough to stay focused!” says a female friend who has ADHD. Staying focused during intimacy is only one issue challenging couples affected by adult ADHD.
Yet, even many mental-healthcare professionals assume that sex constitutes an “ADHD Free” zone. That is, when it comes to sex, brain-based challenges with attention, organization, mood-regulation, or motivation don’t matter or—in the minds of skeptics—don’t even exist.
Yes, sexual expression is yet another one of those areas—like sleep—where the public and professionals alike often fail to connect the dots to ADHD symptoms. As Gina Pera writes in her first book, Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?:
“When ADHD does create significant sexual problems, it usually falls into two categories: The ADHD partner initiates sex all the time or almost never. In the sexual relationship as in elsewhere with ADHD, we encounter variable challenges in self-regulation and summoning motivation.”
In between these two extremes, always and never, there lies a range of ADHD-charged issues that can drive apart couples—if they don’t know what they’re dealing with or what strategies to implement. Ignorance about this critically important connection between ADHD and sexual intimacy creates enormous hurt.
