Sex and intimacy are already complex topics, but when you add ADHD into the mix, things get even trickier. Executive dysfunction, rejection sensitivity, sensory issues, and communication struggles can all play a role in how we experience intimacy and relationships.

In this session, Shane Thrapp is joined by Cate Osborn (aka Catieosaurus)—certified sex educator, advocate, and author—to break down ADHD and its impact on sex, relationships, and intimacy. She shares insights on navigating mismatched libidos, sensory overwhelm, ethical non-monogamy, kink, and much more.

This event was hosted by the Men’s ADHD Support Group, a nonprofit dedicated to providing resources and community for men and masc-aligned individuals with ADHD.
