Clean, Tired, and Touched Out: ADHD, Sensory Shutdown, and the Sex You Can’t Access

from ADHD Realities · host Dr. Leann Borneman

Ever felt totally in the mood... until your clean skin, mental fatigue, or the idea of grabbing the lube made your brain shut down? In this intimate solo episode, Dr. Leann Borneman dives deep into the real life overlap of ADHD, executive function shutdown, sensory overload, and the confusing disconnect between wanting sex and being able to access it. This isn’t about low libido, it’s about bandwidth, task sequencing, overstimulation, and the environmental mismatch so many ADHDers face in the bedroom. With raw honesty, relatable humor, and practical strategies, this episode validates the “WTF is happening to me” moments and helps you reframe them with compassion, clarity, and collaboration. Whether you're a therapist, a partner, or someone with ADHD trying to make sense of your own intimacy patterns, this one is for you. ADHD Informed Bedroom Check In
