Is it normal for ADHD people to find it hard to cum because you think about laundry? (feddit.org)

When "doing it", are you regularly thinking about putting clothes away, which clothes to wash next or if you emptied the washing machine? Or when you washed your clothes the last time?

Is it distracting to the point you get soft (for penis havers) or dry (for ADHDers with vaginas)?

This is actually something I've learned more recently, especially with women, is pretty common. Reaching orgasm during sex often requires a lot of focus on feelings (physical, mental/emotional) and being present - ADHD brains can struggle staying present which then leads to less orgasm frequency during sex. I personally have had issues with this and have had partners with similar experiences - the best way I was able to help them was to be very vocal and engaging to keep them with me in the moment (talking in their ear, asking questions, etc) . One of my friends recently noticed that she's enjoying intimacy far more now that's she's being treated for her ADHD.
