As someone well into her fifties who only began exploring BDSM just prior to the pandemic and then was diagnosed with ADHD a couple of months ago, I was definitely drawn to this post! Just like BDSM, not everyone with ADHD is the same. Some have mostly attentional issues, others are primarily hyperactive and a third group have aspects of both presentations. Despite being fairly accomplished academically and professionally, I find that I have challenges with executive functioning including organization, time management and creating/following routines. So naturally, the idea of a Dom partner who would enjoy bringing that structure and accountability (amongst other things 😈) is VERY appealing! There’s actually a lot of information out there about ADHD and sexuality. I often find that I tune out mentally (but not physically) during sex which I had always attributed to a trauma history. But maybe it’s just a garden variety attentional issue!

PS Dr, Hallowell is a really engaging speaker...for those interested, you might want to Google his online presentations.

My ex has ADHD. Only two things centered mind, reading and sex. But in no way was he one to fantasize and there was no exploration.

My son also has ADHD and a fertile creative imagination that spills into his writing and drawing. Who knows what the future holds.

The author you speak of has studied an extremely small sect of society. Just sayin'.

It makes sense to me. Kinda hit home and maybe shed some light onto the way I am along with my thought processes and my fantasies. Gotta read that book.
