... about women and sex generally, and then there's, like, very little about women and ADHD and sex.

Erika MileyGUEST
So when I did my dissertation four years ago, it was the one and only about ADHD and sex in women.

Erika MileyGUEST
I had over 2,000 participants overall, and 1,500 of them gave me their words about how they felt like their ADHD symptoms were impacting their ability to have, uh, erotic experiences, enjoy erotic experiences.

Erika MileyGUEST
But the thing that, that I noticed that kept coming up again and again was many, many of those women talking about the things that they found to be erotic, the smut that they're reading, it being very, very difficult for them to shift from, uh, our regular transitions of life to transitioning to anything erotic.

Erika MileyGUEST
And romantasy, smut, sci-fi romance, any part in any micro-genre has so many pieces happening all at once that the erotic is just one of them.

Erika MileyGUEST
And so I, I think it, it helps, uh, reduce the fears when you're trying to initiate any sexual experience.
