#25: Sex and ADHD: What if there was nothing wrong with you?
Description
I'm going to make a bold statement: what if when it came to how ADHD affects your sex life, there was NOTHING inherently wrong with you? These are my thoughts after the epic interview with Dr. Kate Lister on ADHD and the history of sex.
In this episode I cover:
* Feeling disappointed that so much traditional medical and therapeutic advice about ADHD and sex is pathologizing
* Why we need to stop pathologizing our sexuality, our bodies, our minds, everything
* Why it's all about nuance
* What if you keep getting distracted in bed?
* Being highly sensory and highly sensitive and what it means
* What if you just have a different erotic blueprint?
* Discharging the fight/flight response
* Why lifestyle changes and managing ADHD is super important too
* Being neuroqueer and what that means
* Putting "healthy" sex into a tiny box
* When you are easily enraptured and slip into ecstatic states
