ADHD sexuality?

Has anyone heard of ADHD people having delayed sexual appreciation of the opposite sex? or something like it?

I'm 25 and have ADHD and I'm neither straight or gay when it comes to appreciation of either sex. I would probably react to seeing a well-developed woman or man in the same way that a small child would react. So it makes it very hard for me to have a sexual relationship, because I still feel like i'm sexually undeveloped in the mind compared to the people my age.

I highly doubt the medication did that.

what the heck

nope....it's not because of ADHD. it's just you. cause...i have ADHD and i don't have a delayed sexual problem....

You might be asexual. Do a little research and see if it fits you.

Ask your doctor to do a buccal smear and a chromosome count.
But dude, sex ain't everything!
It often causes more trouble than it's worth.
Find love. Sex will come. (No pun intended.)

Has anyone heard of ADHD people having delayed sexual appreciation of the opposite sex? or something like it?

Yes. Some persons (not all) with ADHD report that. Temple Grandin (Asperger's, autism) has talked about it too.

Possible keywords: Temporal Lobe (of the brain).

Good luck.
