Dr. Ari Tuckman talks with Lauren & Lindsay about the many ways ADHD can impact sex and relationships. We discuss gender roles and expectations, sexual eagerness and distractability, infidelity, transitions, and the importance of honest and direct communication in relationships.
Mentioned in this Episode:
Dr. Ari Tuckman shares his research findings from surveying over 3000 couples for his book, “ADHD After Dark.”
Gender roles and expectations impact partnerships in terms of emotional labor, caretaking, etc.
The connection between ADHD and impulsivity, dopamine, and sex is complex and depends on many factors, including the purpose for which sex is being used.
Open, honest, and direct conversation is important for all couples, but it is especially important for couples with ADHD.
