Horny, Distracted & Overthinking It: ADHD and Sex

What happens to sex and intimacy when your brain doesn’t switch off?

In this episode of Doing Sex, Sahar explores how ADHD shapes desire, attraction, attention, and long-term relationships with Dr. Ari Tuckman, psychologist, certified sex therapist, and author of ADHD After Dark.

Drawing on research and stories from hundreds of couples, they unpack how ADHD affects arousal, emotional connection, communication, and libido, from hyperfocus and novelty to distraction, rejection sensitivity, and fading desire over time.

Whether you have ADHD, love someone who does, or want to better understand how the brain influences sex, this episode offers practical insight, clarity, and compassion, without clichés or shame.
