There are many ways that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can affect your sex life.
Or perhaps your level of sexual desire changes drastically from one day to the next.
People with ADHD may also be prone to sexual risk-taking such as unprotected sex or having multiple sex partners.
The disorder is associated with a drop in neurotransmitters, which may lead to these types of impulsive behaviors.
In fact, because they increase your ability to focus, they may actually improve your sex life.
If that is a significant issue or concern, bring it up with your physician.
You may be able to lower the dose or switch medications.
Beyond that, there are several steps you might take to overcome your challenges from ADHD in the bedroom.
Share what you like and what bothers you during foreplay and sex.
If you don’t enjoy certain positions or types of sex, tell your partner what you prefer.
If your partner has ADHD, encourage him or her to openly share with you and listen without judgment.
