- In Episode 154, we talk about sexuality, a much under-researched area of ADHD. As usual, Alex the Psycho.......education Monkey spouts the science behind the subject, all three ADHD Adults give their personal reflections, and then 'Just The Tip' covers some top tips about ADHD and task switching. 'What has James lost, forgotten or mislaid this week?" returns with Alex 7-4 up for the season, The Metrics Intern continues telling us about the cities we have listeners in, and Alex reads the usual 'definitely real' correspondence. James gets the numbering wrong (again), Mrs ‘didn’t get a ticket’, and Alex is a basic unit...
I love that you kept the debacle of a re-entry in. So funny. On the bit about people who do research needing to up their game regarding sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity etc. In 2019 Dr Ari Tuckman published a book called ADHD After Dark: Better Sex Life, Better Relationship. Quote from the book's description: 'Grounded on innovative research' as he surveyed over 3000 adults 'in a couple where a partner has ADHD'. Not ONE person surveyed was a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, or at least it wasn't included in the questions. The book doesn't cover queer relationships at all. He simply can't tell anyone that nobody could be found from this demographic in the ADHD community. That's utter bollix. So yeah, people need to up their game.
This was such a beautiful episode to listen to! Honestly my absolute favourite so far. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and perspectives. X
Omg resonate so much Sam with the courage thing, and I'm sure most of my life I consented to sex I just didn't want because I didn't want to upset anyone. It's actually quite a sad thought looking back!
BOOM! Awesome episode! ✌️
Thank you! 🧛🏻♂️🌪️🎈❤️
I am ADHD and best fit the description mascu-sexual or andro-sexual with a preference for masculine men. I find vanilla sex a nice connection but would prefer a particular type of kink with a heavy leaning on the mind for the ultimate fulfilment. It's refreshing to hear kink talked about so freely but I still fill with dread when admitting this about myself. I am very bad at promoting and encouraging sexual/romantic relationships. I find I avoid them and so have been single half of my adult life. I can't bring myself to have casual sex, vanilla or not. I am getting old and feel less attractive with age and past it fast!!
