Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Horny, Distracted & Overthinking It: ADHD and Sex
Q: Are there any advantages to having ADHD, especially concerning sex?
Lean into what you like and enjoy, and appreciate your strengths rather than define yourself purely by your struggles.
Horny, Distracted & Overthinking It: ADHD and Sex
Q: Do you think there is something about the ADHD brain that gravitates towards novelty or a certain type of energy?
People with ADHD may be attracted to high stimulation and non-boring people, which could lead to unhealthy dynamics.
Horny, Distracted & Overthinking It: ADHD and Sex
Q: Is there a link between being ADHD and the type of people we like to choose?
If you've lived a lot of your life with undiagnosed and untreated ADHD, you have definitely had more experiences of people being unhappy with what you're doing, which can lead to tolerating less-than-ideal relationships.
Horny, Distracted & Overthinking It: ADHD and Sex
Q: As a sex therapist, what made you want to focus on ADHD and sex?
My specialty for 25 years has been ADHD, particularly ADHD in adults, which was definitely when I started out kind of a neglected population. I became interested not only in helping people on the individual level but also in how it shows up in relationships, including sex.
Is Masturbation Healthy?
Q: How can parents talk to their kids about masturbation?
It's essential for parents to meet their kids where they're at, provide accurate information, and ensure that kids understand that touching themselves is a normal activity when done privately.
