I can't understand...how does ADHD affects your sexuality? One of my best friends has ADHD and he is not sexual...he is SUPER sexual...lol.

I can't see how OCD, which is a strange psychiatric condition, affects your sexuality either (both of these disorders are probably based on a "central executive" pre-frontal lobe problem...). With Tourette, i don't know but it can't affect your sexuality directly as well. In a matter of fact, neither of these disorders can directly affect your sexuality. All of them can cause some more or less serious motor and cognitive problems, but they are not known to affect directly strong affective/emotional/physiological states such as sexual attraction. Maybe your problem is purely psycho-social though rather then psycho-biological. Maybe because you know that you have these disorders you feel "sick" and deteriorated, possibly anxious and so less motivated and even with less self-esteem towards you and therefore to the persons of the opposite sex. These are factors which can minimise your sexuality, and because your sexuality is decreased, then you have less interest to sexualy-related behaviours which further decrease your sexuality (sexual thinking) etc etc etcand hence you are caught a in feedback-loop. Thats my thought.


when you have add or adhd, it's hard to stay focused during sex. the sex could be the most enjoyable, amazing sex ever, and yet, while fucking, you'll be thinking, "did i put my load of wash in the dryer? fuck! i never called so and so back....oh my god, that feels good...i wish he shaved his face, his wiskers hurt"

Lol, no i don't think this is the way it works.


ADHD can increase a person's distractibility when it comes to a class, but not when he/she is having sex though. There are people with severe frontal damage who have a problem called "dysexecutive syndrome". DS can vary in type and severity, but you can imagine it as ADHD but only 1000 times more severe. DS patients show severe distractibility, disinhibition (innability to inhibit inapropriate behaviours and thoughts),impulsivenes and hence severe problems in social responses and on the overall organisation of their behaviour.DS patients show what it is called "the default function of the brain". What is this? Its the pattern of behaviour that various animals, human children and people with frontal problems problems exhibit (people or animals that in one way or another don't have "good" pre-frontal lobes). "Grasp and act on the first think that enters consciousness and attention and don't care about other ones, no matter their importance on a specific context" (children's instant gratification and their inability to pay attention to the fact that their mother can't provide it all the time).

As a result, people are continuously bombadred with information that enters their awareness, causing an "attentional" mess in their minds. Despite that, the default function doesn't affect primitive psychophysiological activities such as sex though. In a matter of fact, a lot of the default function of DS patients is a continuous instant gratification for sex! The same with ADHD. In fact, a possible ADHD symptom is impulsive sexuality!

Yea, but i think that this is his own excuse for him. Its a normal psycho-social mechanism, what it is known as the basic "attributional" bias. People would tend to attribute success to themselves (to an "internal locus of control") and failure to others or environmental factors (to an "external focus of control" anyone remembers adam and eve and the apple?). Its probably a thinking pattern which is invariant, global and hence evolved. Its evolutionary advantage is obvious, people would in a way "attack themselves" if they were attributing failure to themselves all the time.

I think that in the current case, the threadstarter attributes his problem to an external factor that he thinks he has no control over (to the hereditary impact of his problems) rather then to himself, to his own thoughts and behaviour. In this way, he denies responsibility for his psychological problem, and frees himself from considerable stress. The problem is that by doing this, he doesn't see that his problem may be a result of his own thoughts and behaviour rather then of the disorders and everything that accompanies them.As you said, his "excuse" is not very strong.

Well, I think of life as one great big causal reaction. Before I act on anything I think of the reprecusions tomorrow, 1 year, 10 years down the road. I take into account all variants of the resultant aspects. Yes I have heard from a few of my friends that the act of sex or a derivative thereof is an awesome feeling. But one needs to ponder the risks of such an undertaking. One runs the risk of contracting a dormant or active STI, the risk of an undesired genetic mutation of the product, or reputation loss if one didnt meet the standards of ones partner.


living is a 'risk'.

Ok, I consider myself as part of that 1% of the population that doesnt have a sexual attraction to either sex due to me having Tourette, OCD, and ADD.

On rare occasions I find myself gauking at Females and feeling a little arousal, call me a pervert or any names phrases that you can drum up.

Keep in mind that I chose the route of Asexuality due to me passing on my neurological disorders to my off-spring and not wanting them to have to go through the same hell I have went through over the course of my life time. Thoughts/constructive criticism are appreciated.


In your own words, you "consider [yourself] as part of ... the population that doesn't have a sexual attraction to either sex..." and you go on to say that you "chose the route of Asexuality." That doesn't add up to me. We don't choose whether or not we experience sexual attraction. The homosexual doesn't choose to be attracted to those of the same gender, nor does he or she choose not to be attracted to those of the opposite gender.

If, asexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation, and you are indeed of that sexual orientation, then there wouldn't be any choice involved. But I think that it is a choice for you. You choose to ignore your own sexuality. Now I could play pop psychologist and tell you why I think that might be, but to be honest I don't really care to speculate and I don't think you really want to hear it anyway. So I'll get straight to the point. Be honest with yourself. Face your problems and your fears head on; don't avoid them. Simple stuff, really.

Ah yes, the many challenges of Asexuality. Like...not being able to put your penis inside another human. Man, that's gotta be rough.
