There’s a lot of information on how to improve a relationship when one partner has ADHD, but most of that good advice goes silent when you reach the bedroom door.

Ari Tuckman has been helping start discussions around ADHD and intimacy through his research, his book, and appearances on How To ADHD and the ADHD reWired podcast. There's a lot of interesting information in his research, and things that I personally find relevant to intimacy.

For example, the ability of an ADHD partner to hyperfocus on an intimate experience, or conversely to become distracted during intimacy or even forget to set aside time for intimacy. The awareness that ADHD partners may be "kinkier" in relationships, and need more stimulation and variety. As well as the importance of communication around intimacy and during to help make the experience better for both partners.

I think there's a lot of basic information that can be used to help even non-ADHD relationships. I would definitely suggest this article to anyone in a current intimate relationship, but also do those singles out there who want to learn more about their ADHD selves and how to become a better partner in the future.
