Listen Later

In this episode, hosts Ash and Dusty explore the complex relationship between ADHD and sexuality, discussing how attention challenges can impact intimacy and arousal. Dusty highlights the disconnect many individuals with ADHD may feel towards their bodies, illustrating how hyper-focusing on daily tasks can overshadow the awareness of physical desires. The conversation touches on the societal pressures faced by women and the emotional labor involved in sexual relationships, as well as the unique experiences of trans individuals navigating their identities and desires.

As the discussion unfolds, the hosts share personal insights on rejection sensitivity and the importance of boundaries in intimate relationships. They emphasize the necessity of communication and intentionality in sexual encounters, arguing that scheduling can serve as a practical tool for both arousal and life balance. Together, they set the stage for a follow-up episode that will delve deeper into building a fulfilling sex life while managing ADHD and other personal challenges.
