Since this is the adult men's forum, I figured I'd post this here.

Do you think that having ADHD you have a lower sex drive? Higher? People with ADHD have lower levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine (but it seems people don't care about low adrenaline levels because it doesn't really effect the brain). I'm wondering how that effects desire for sex, as well as ability to perform.

When you're on stimulants, is sex easier or harder? The (nor)adrenaline increase brought about by stimulants tends to have a negative impact on arousal. Does this get in the way or is it fairly minimal? Does it depend on the dose you take whether or not it impairs sexual ability (if at all)?

Fairly probing questions, so answer as you see fit. If thise topic has been discussed before, my apologies. Please link to the threads where it was discussed.

I have always had a high sex drive. Had never taken stimulants for ADHD, but when I was younger and drove all the time I did take Didrex 50mg. Never could figure out why it would not keep me awake, until I was diagnosed. Anyway, that did not effect my libido either.

Now some of the antidepressants have a number of sexual side effects.

My Husband is ADHD But he is not any meds for it. He has always had a high sex drive. I don't know what would happen if he took meds if he would lose hi libto or not. Somehow I doubt it lol Melissa

although i cannot speak from personal expirience (not being a woman, and being a man who never had it :) ) bare in mind that i have heard rumors that it effects differently on women and men.

High sex drive! Adderall does not slow it down, though it does take a little more action to get the equipment up to full speed when the Adderall is still in my system.

I have a high sex drive but some days ago the thing I've been reading about in the Adult boards over and over again happened to me and it was ridiculously embarrassing...the hair thing.

I dont have much if any evidence to go on but I would lean towards ADHD being linked to higher sex drives. If you can't focus on everyday tasks, there is one highly instinctual motivation that one's mind will probably wander to. Then again, they could be entirely unlinked and I wouldn't be TOO surprised if that were the case.

I am hypersexual, I can masturbate for hours if that's what it'll take for me to have some relief...

um what else... oh yea when I am able to let my mind go I am thinking about it pretty much every 7 seconds, they were right!

I think a lot of my sexual problems now stem from this denail of hte sex drive via the cult... I am an animal when it comes to sex, and I can't seem wow I get it now... that's why neurotypicals are so horny, they concentrate on sex! What a nice thing to concentrate on!

hmmm this may be useful ...

What hair thing? I've got a "hair thing", but I did not think that is was related to Addrerall, or ADD. You've got me concerned now!;)

There is probably a difference between ADHD with hyperactivity and without concerning this. I would think that the inattentive type tends to drift towards asexuality, whereas the hyperactive types may tend to be the opposite. But that's just a speculation. Either type may be less experienced for a variety of reasons.

Having inattentive ADD along with depression/anxiety really messes up your sex life. I'm hypersexual when alone (need to relieve stress once in a while) but with a female partner I'm distracted or experience performance anxiety. Now my Lexapro meds for depression/anxiety have resulted in a lower libido. What a mess!!!

.... Now my Lexapro meds for depression/anxiety have resulted in a lower libido. What a mess!!!

I started Lexapro a while back, but the Wellbutrin I guess counteracts that side effect.

Before that I was on Zoloft, I felt the the little train that could..."I think I can, I think I can...." Sigh to no avail:(

Some potential Adderall sexual side effects include impotence or a decreased sex drive. However, because these side effects occur so infrequently, it is difficult to know whether these problems are caused by another condition, Adderall itself, or a combination of both. Therefore, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider if you develop any sexual side effects while taking Adderall. There are some treatments, such as erectile dysfunction medication, that he or she can recommend.

Ok, I know I am a girl....but this caught my eye...is anyone willing to tell me what the "hair thing" is? :)

Yea, what hair thing? I'm a guy, but clueless most of the time.

Yes, the hair thing. Are we talking about hair growing in places you don't want, or are we talking about that thing where you pluck hairs compulsively? I'll just through this out there. I've got both. There it is, out in the open. I'll hide now.

Or maybe there's another hair thing.:rolleyes: That's a scary thought.:eek:

Haha, check the link I posted. It's a pic. The same, but replace the cat with yourself and the feather with her hair.

I thought they were talking about hair on their palms....:eek::eek:

This thread is starting to sound a little bit like Portnoy's Complaint:rolleyes::p

Haha, check the link I posted. It's a pic. The same, but replace the cat with yourself and the feather with her hair.

LOL! wtf? I must be the dumbest person ever! I staired at this picture for like 5 minutes...

OK, the cat is the guy......the feathers are the girls hair. sooooo, you are a guy with a hairy body, that likes chicks with long hair? How is that embarassing?...I guess cutting of the girls ponytail, tying it to a string so you can swat at it could be a little weird, but hey, we all have our things.....


(I know your'e laughing at me..I've never been good at symbolism...LOL but now the suspense is killing me!!? :D

..... but hey, we all have our things.....
:D

Hey it's only kinky the first time :D

Of course the difference between kinky and passionate is, passionate is when you use a feather, kinky is when you use the chicken.... Did I type that?:rolleyes:

That doesn't sound right. Adderall is a physical stimulant which draws blood away from extremities (which includes the penis and hands, hence why they feel colder). It's the same when you take caffeine.

Perhaps what they mean is that a typical therapeutic dose should not produce erectile problems, which I suppose is true - it doesn't take that much blood away.

OK! now I get the hair thing.:) Sorry that really went over my head.:confused:

Back to the Adderall and blood flow thing. My personal experience is this - I take Adderall XR 30mg. From what I've read this is a fairly moderate dose. When I take the Adderall I get reduced blood flow to my extremities for about 6 hours. Yes this includes Mr. Winkie. BUT, just because the blood flow is reduced does not mean it's non functional! It does mean that to get up to full mast, a little more attention to detail is needed. I would say that if someone is taking Adderall and they loose more function than that, then it's time to see the doctor. But that's just my take on it.

I don't think my sex drive is way higher than average but I guess sometimes it gets up there. Definitely don't think about it every 7 seconds :)

When I've been with girls I'm normally the more 'pro-active' one but I can just as easily lose interest when I get distracted by something :P

Amykins, I don't know about other guys around here, but personally it's nice to see a woman take an interest in the "inner workings" of the male gender. I see all over the place where men are supposed to try to understand women, but very seldom do I see the opposite.

Ok. Here comes a shameful explanation.
You're doing the "happy hug" and then you notice her hair is really nice, with a little curl in the end, which flaps in a funny way when you move it. So then you concentrate on the nice hair instead of the "happy hug". I can't be more specific.

:D Ok, guys, I just gotta say that this thread has been cracking me up all day. I had no idea what the "hair" thing was, and then when you put up the photo of the cat, Arkyle, I was tempted to post "Oh, that's MUCH clearer now"??????!!!! :confused::confused::confused: But I didn't. I lurked and kept thinking, what the heck is this hair thing? Is this something about which I should be concerned???? :o

But I get the "happy hug." Got the visual now, and now I'm laughing my A** off thinking about a guy losing all concentration at such a moment. :D:eek: Guess I've never been with an ADD guy!!!! Hahahahahahaha! :p

Thanks, Arkyle, you made my day with that one!!! :D

That's not embarassing! It's pretty sweet and flattering! But the cat picture totally threw me! You don't even KNOW what images my mind was coming up with!!!! :)

i find when my medication is wearing off at night time i cant stop thinking about teh sex.

its weird. my poor gf :(

you guys are all way too funny!! You have all given me a cheery start to the day.

On the subject of SEX ( all awake and alert now ?) and with the danger of giving too much person info away.....From a female ADDer point of view, my sex drive was always crazy high and from a very young age...( and i was still a virgin until quite late if you get my drift) But i was thinking, is this just another way of self-medicating???? Doesnt sex release alot of the hormones us ADDers are lacking??
Now that i think about it , its surprising i never really did drugs, or smoke, but maybe my high sex took the place of all of those.

Btw sorry to crash the "boys party" here just thought maybe u might want the female side of this .

Hey happy to have company and the opposite sexes POV. Would you believe I am shy in the presence of women and not too sure of myself?

No problem BrownRabbit, join right in.

I never really thought about it but I think you may be right. At 41 I'm still high maintenance in the sex department, and I don't think that's going to change any time soon.

Let's just say that the frequency would stager most people. Nuf said?

yep hearing you there , i used to wear my men out fairly quickly, not usually a girl thing. All come to a halt when i went through early menopause at 37 and sex drive hormones took a dive, now im maybe just normal. I kind of do miss the buzz though, not just about sex either, i was much happier. I think i had high testosterone now i have none, am thinking about going on a small dose, you can get it in a spray here, done studies and it works well for "wellbeing" and sex drive. Really we are just made up of a heap of chemicals and they all interrelate to each other, lose one and the others tend to become unbalanced. Hormones really do rule our lives , i guess its a matter of learning to live well with whatever we are dished out!!

peace to all,

Exactly the same here!!!! I didn't have sex til 18 and a half and... well, I just love it! But yes, I'd say masturbation (can you use that word on here? I'm guessing so) is the same in calming us down and helping us focus.

Oddly enought I'm inattentive, but I'm auditory wise I'm senstitive in places with lots of noise and stuff going on eg. parties, supermarkets, etc. So I can actually HYPERFOCUS on the sex., because there's not all these distractions, just me and him. It's unbelievable!

I'm a girl, so you guys are okay with us reading these kind of messages? I know I'm more than happy to give advice if you need a female's perspective.

I think I can speak for every guy here saying the more female perspectives the better ;) interesting stuff how it's all a bit different for us ADDers.

I'm with you, AlohaGirl, on the hyperfocusing. I used to lose myself during the "deed," shall we say, and I absolutely loved it that way. It was sort of tantric, if you follow me. But sadly, that's not happening anymore. It seems to be due to a disconnect between me and the hubster, though, not any change in my hormones or what have you (I'm 41). Bums me out. I miss that selflessness part. :( It was like stepping outside your skin for a while.

Do you think it's just a phase? Maybe just gotten comfortable? My husband and I have gone through these phases...especially with it being 7 years and all. But when we rock it...we rock it! ;) I have read that men peak in their late teens/early 20's and women in their 30s and 40s.

Not all of us. Some of us "older folks" have as much drive now as we did when younger. Difference is I think we know more how to get into the moment if you know what I mean. Timing is everything and takes practice, time and patients. Given a choice, some younger women would probably rather have us than the young whipper snappers. :p

Did I post that?

Anyway, back to topic :rolleyes:

I guess my taste of have changed or should I say more refined over the years. I guess being short myself, I have always been attracted to the petite tiny women. Hair color does not really matter, was partial to redheads for a long time. I would say, I like whomever to be themselves and not try to be something they are not and don't try to turn me into something I am not. I hate whining!!!!!!!!

those young whipper-snappers....sigh! (can I call someone a whipper-snapper if I am 32?) LOL

Hey happy to have company and the opposite sexes POV. Would you believe I am shy in the presence of women and not too sure of myself?

I think I am still a virgin :)

errr....no:D

oops:o

Hey just giving the perspective from a more mature point of view :)

Ditto! ;) LOL

I think my timing is off in this post! :D

Wow I was wondering that about ADD & Sex too! I remember masterbating early...& A lot! but I as well lost my virginity late, almost 20 (40 now) My Hubby & I have been going through that dip type thing where with 2- 3yr olds ya just dont have time or enough energy! We still have Sex but not 4 times a day any more! I am lucky to have found a man with as high a sex drive as me!!! & any time the kids do go to nanny's for a night we spend the night rockin it! We were together for 9 yrs before kids ...what an adjustment! I think it is the part that has been hardest for hubby since the kids, My Sex Drive has been down for a lot of reasons. (sleep deprivation, Financial stress, Job Stress, Marital stress,...did I mention 2 - 3yr olds.....& me newly diagnosed with ADD !!!) I find the Meds seem to help me get a bit of drive back tho. I just need to nail down the proper dosage!

I have 2 boys age 2 &5..plus I am newly diagnosed and trying to get the right dose too! But hoo-eee somethings workin'! :D One time we thought the kids were alseep...so "Rock the Casba" was playin' if you know what I mean...and in comes 5 year old. LOL ....never happened before!

You got locks on the bedroom door?

Tracy,

So that's ONE SPECIAL 17 Y.O. DAUGHTER YOU GOT THERE, EH?????!!!! Heh heh. Any bright stars out on her birthday or anything? Heh heh.

In answer to your question, Amykins... I'm not sure if it's a phase, but I SURE hope it is, for both of our sakes...

Sandy

can I call someone a whipper-snapper if I am 32?)

According to the whipper snapper law one must be 35+ or a woman over 30 expereincing PMS.

Sorry I couldn't resist. . . :D

Haha! I'm stoked you have such good and open sex lives with your spouses in long term relationships... I think it's great!

In terms of spicing it up... I mean, gosh, you don't have to go crazy but there must be new things you can try? What about things like reading erotic literature (the sexiest fantasy is the one you conjure up in your mind!), or visiting an adult shop? I think too being playful and having a good attitude is important. After all, it's about having fun and just enjoying being with each other.

I'd love to be in a relationship like that! And to do it as well as parenthood... my hat is off! Go sisters!

I know what thats like!:o When my daughter was about 3, the kids were asleep and shall we say the earth was moving really well. All of a sudden the wife screams!!!!!!!:eek: I come back to reality, and look over to the side of the bed. There stands my daughter, just tall enough for her eyes to just peek over the edge. She says in toddler speak "whatcha doin?" OMG!:o:o:o:o

In my experience, being an inattentive ADDer plays a significant role in my sex drive, which has been quite high from an early age.

It started out with masturbation, which I was pretty much addicted to since I was 6 or 7 through my 20s. I think this is a kind of self-medication. It's about the most stimulating, engaging activity I know of, and the endorphin/opiate rush at the end could help me get off my *** and get to work. Plus, it's a great way to make some persistent thoughts ("SEX! WOMEN! SEX! WOMEN!") go away for at least a little while.

And that's the other part of the issue. It's much harder to concentrate with a pretty woman in the room. I don't stare, but I can get a little obsessive about thinking about not thinking about it. Sometimes a quick trip to the bathroom to relieve that obsession is the only solution.

On the other hand, sex itself is not so easy because I'm so self-conscious and my mind does wander, and I feel terribly guilty thinking about someone other than my wife, but sometimes a great fantasy is the only way to arouse me enough to be able to finish.

In the last couple of years, fibromyalgia, depression and anti-depressants, and the cannabis I use to treat the FM have all contributed to a significantly lower sex drive. I suppose I'm just getting old, too (I'm 32). I am about to see a doctor about taking something for my ADD, which I suspect will be far more successful at helping my depression than antidepressants, and then maybe I can get a little of my mojo back.

I masturbated young too, about 5 or 6, and then I started doing it all day... at recess, and all evening until I went to bed if I had nothing else to do... I would watch movies down in our basement and grind the support pole while hanging on it with my arms... good exercise I imagine... maybe thats why I was so underweight! :P

This in regards to amkins and mom of twins.... I beleive that is were i saw the comment about the highs and lows. I forgot which one posted it but is was related to the 2 of the comments. I have been married for almost 8yrs. I noticed issues that developed about 9 months ago. It all just stopped. Everyone said i had adhd and no just 2 months ago got diagnosed with it. We were doing about 2 times a week, give or take more or less... depending of the 3 kids and jobs etc...I have always been the hypersexual one. Just wondering if it has to go with the 7 yr marriage thing, it i belelvie was related to the fact that she had had it with my undagnosed ADHD among other things related to it and it got to her and now we are trying to work it out. Is that common the 7yr up and down? I am still the same, wanting it all the time. I do believe it to be self medicating, like it has been said. I just hate to "nag" sometimes and then feel guilty or push my luck and get her more aggrivated more... ANy thought???

Does anyone else have this problem? I have a decent sex drive but it's the thought of spending a whole hour, doing the same thing, that turns me off. I won't sit down to watch an hour-long show, most of the time, because my ADD brain can't make that type of time commitment, and sex is the same way. So I love having sex with my girlfriend, but I rarely want to do it more than 2 or 3 times a week (she would do it twice a day or more, if she had her way). I didn't have this trouble when I was dating a lot of different women, but I find monogamy a bit understimulating, especially in the purely sexual department.

I think this problem could be solved two ways: (a) 10 minutes of sex, instead of an hour; (b) more women in my life. My girlfriend does not like either idea.

Seriously, does anyone else have trouble with the time commitment aspect of sex? Asking me to do anything for an hour is a good way to turn me off...

Eat more watermelon.

OMG!! You could set a timer.

10 minutes a day X 6 days equals 1 hour. Nothing wrong with that.

Hubby and I are 47 and 41, that part of our life is fine, actually it just seems to get better. he had some difficulty during the "Lexapro years" and I wasn't impressed with him much when he was drinking right b4 he got sober, but that's over with.

I'm old enough to call some of ya'll "whipper snappers"!! LOL

I just don't get the "cat thing"

I like to love my girlfriend 25 hours a day, and I think she is more horny than me... thank the maker she has ADHD and OCD like me! heehee

................... I won't sit down to watch an hour-long show, most of the time, because my ADD brain can't make that type of time commitment, and sex is the same way.

Sex for an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????
This exists? I can imagine you're going crazy, but as I can gather your girlfr. seems to like it. I don't know if this will work for u but I'm trying to improvise here:
Try dicing sex up in to smaller sessions. In other words try spreading the preparation for the deed througout the day so she will already be in the "mood" when you finally get down to it (for ex.kissing other kinds of forplay in small sessions with pauses inbetween, building up to the eventual ' piece the resistance').

Because the mood will allready be set you wont have to work for 45 min. before u can "you know what" (excuse the choice of words,but this is not a private forum).

anyway good luck!

I've never had a low sex drive, even while on meds, it's almost a daily activity for my wife and I :) I know TMI

I have almost no sex drive. Sex to me gets boring. I don't know why. That magical switch in the brain that "turns you on" is almost impossible to activate and stay activated. Been that way all my life.

J

I have a high sex drive but some days ago the thing I've been reading about in the Adult boards over and over again happened to me and it was ridiculously embarrassing...the hair thing.

Hair thing...? Sounds scary.

Ok. Here comes a shameful explanation.
You're doing the "happy hug" and then you notice her hair is really nice, with a little curl in the end, which flaps in a funny way when you move it. So then you concentrate on the nice hair instead of the "happy hug". I can't be more specific.

OH!!! OK!
Now I get it!

I normally have a pretty high sex drive. ****, I'm 16! I'm programmed that way. I do, however, have a lowered sex drive while on Adderall. At first, it was extreme. I didn't want to even think about sex because I had **** to do. Now, it really doesn't effect my libido at all. I think your body getting used to it factors in some towards sexual side effects.

Just my two cents.

All my past girlfriends and now wife have always said I have too much of a sex drive, that is until I get depressed about something, then I just don't think about sex. Back when I was on Adderall I think it was the highest ever, but then again I was in my mid 20's mostly single and living in NYC.

I have always been extreeeeemly sexually active. I am now 34 and was just diagnosed last year. I just figured I never gave a crap about much. Been on meds for about a year now. Sex drive has certainly not slowed down but there is a significant increase in the time it takes to "finish". Not really a bad thing cause the ending experiance is much more intense. Desent trade off.

Historically I had a high sex drive. Started "going blind" at about the same time I hit puberty. Tossed my virginity away when I was 13. . .

When my wife and I first got together it was a 3-5 time a day thing. After 11 years together. . . once, maybe twice a month. Things have gotten a little stale. Peanut butter jelly time is all fine and wonderful but after a decade or so of the same peanut butter jelly . . . meh. . .
I'm still dating the palm sisters with alarming frequency. And I'm easily distracted by dangerous curves. The instinct is still there, just no desire. . .
Granted, there are some other mitigating factors. . . a five year old and a nine year old complicate things. Expecting another child definitely put a damper on things for me. I screwed up my lower back almost 4 years ago which made me not want to engage in activities that caused more pain. Depression, anxiety (generally triggered by stressful events like getting laid off) low self esteem. . . definitely not helping the situation. . .

I'll be 40 in a couple of months and shes in her early thirties. . . just getting into her prime and I'm well past my "best before" date. . .

And for reference, I was diagnosed ADD, predominantly inattentive (I can see you lips moving but all I hear is "blah blah blah") a little over a year ago and have been taking dexedrine for about four months now. ED is not an issue. . .

I hope it works out that way for me. I have never grown out of puberty. My sex drive has always been through the roof and since going on adderall last week things have crashed down there harder then the stock market.

I've never had a low sex drive, even while on meds, it's almost a daily activity for my wife and I :) I know TMI

With a name like TransAmMan how could you not have a high sex drive there "Bandit"....:D

Funny I was dating one of he palm sisters and wondering if the Adderall was an issue. Not quite the flagpole of times without the XR but a happy ending anyway.

I rarely ever focus on the moment. I'm constantly focusing on how it feels for her and I very seldom get into it.

ADD meds help out on the sex side of things.

My running joke used to be "God help the man with a TV or radio going in the background" because I would get really distracted during sex. In general, I have what I call the "snap" moment during even high stimulation activities (even hyperfocus situations sometimes) where I'll be completely engrossed in something and then I can almost hear the SNAP, as my entire brain shifts away from it (happens a lot during movies and such). Unfortunately, sex is no different. Very frustrating for my boyfriends since I'd impulsively attack from out of nowhere...then when they were totally into it, my brain would suddenly shift to something else. Medication seems to prevent that from happening.

I realte to many of the issues but my issues is not the medications and there side effects. My libedo rises but only to one form of stimualent, which I was alwasy bale to be turned on in many areas. All of a sudden I am no longer able to get my soilder to stand whn I want it too. Not sure of how to reconnect it with my brian. Any advice

Emotinally at my healthest and no longer hurting my self or my sex life but by doing thsi have not connected my brian to my penis?

I've always had a high sex drive, to the extent when I introduce my mother to my girlfriends she tells them "Watch him, he's like a dog with two d*cks"
I think that sums it up really...even my own mother knows that I'm always sniffing around for ladies.

I'll admit that I've cheated on girlfriends in the past (probably why my mother feels the need to issue them with a warning to 'watch me'), mainly because I was paying more attention to what my penis was telling me than my brain.
So yes, I would say that I have a consistently high sex drive, and that my meds don't affect it.

Logic

At least you're not sitting up suddenly to look at a bird that just flew by the window, and giving your partner the hardest head-butt to the forehead...Not just that I get easily distracted and lose the focus but also I tend to be clumsy as well.

I would say that I have an abnormally high sex drive. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 - 3 times a day. I've never taken medication for ADHD, so can't answer that part.
