Sinopsis

ADHD and Sex 
 
Newly revised 2023
 
From the leading expert on Adult ADHD and Relationships, Gina Pera.
 
This is the first guide to understanding how poorly managed ADHD can interfere with sexual intimacy—and how to heal your relationship."Gina, sex is difficult for people with ADHD; it's tough to stay focused!" says a female friend who has ADHD. Staying focused during intimacy is only one issue challenging couples affected by adult ADHD.Even many mental-healthcare professionals assume that sex constitutes an “ADHD Free” zone.  That is, when it comes to sex, brain-based challenges with attention, organization, mood-regulation, or motivation don’t matter or—in the minds of skeptics—don’t even exist.Yes, sexual expression is yet another one of those areas—like sleep—where the public and professionals alike often fail to connect the dots to ADHD symptoms. As Gina Pera writes in her first book, Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?:
 
"When ADHD does create significant sexual problems, it usually falls into two categories: The ADHD partner initiates sex all the time or almost never. In the sexual relationship as in elsewhere with ADHD, we encounter variable challenges in self-regulation and summoning motivation."In between these two extremes, always and never, there lies a range of ADHD-charged issues that can drive apart couples—if they don’t know what they’re dealing with or what strategies to implement. Ignorance about this critically important connection between ADHD and sexual intimacy creates enormous hurt.In this Kindle book (125 book pages), you will find four major sections:(1)  An expanded version of Chapter 6 in Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?—detailing the myriad ways in which ADHD can affect the sexual relationship.  Knowledge paves the path to problem-solving.(2)  An eight-step strategy toward leaving the ADHD roller coaster and entering the Tunnel of Love(3)  Post-Orgasm Irritability—A look at a common enough but little recognized phenomenon. It's one that leaves many people confused and stuck in a disturbing pattern.   BONUS: Two downloadable books from the early 20th Century that address this post-orgasm phenomenon and promote overall relationship intimacy in an intriguing way.(4)  Adults with ADHD and Their Partners Speak Out—a curated, categorized selection of comments on the first blog post ever on ADHD and Sex, in 2009. Along with Gina’s responses. Consider it the first step in finding community—and finding your voice.

    Future Peace - Technology...

    Today's militaries are increasingly reliant on highly networked autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced weapons that were previously the domain of science fiction writers. In a world where these complex technologies clash with escalating international tensions, what can we do to decrease the chances of war? In Future Peace, Robert H. Latiff questions our overreliance on technology and examines the pressure-cooker scenario created by the growing animosity between the United States and its adversaries, our globally deployed and thinly stretched military, the capacity for advanced technology to catalyze violence, and the American public's lack of familiarity with these topics. 
     
     
     
    Future Peace describes the many provocations to violence and how technologies are abetting those urges, and it explores what can be done to mitigate not only dangerous human behaviors but also dangerous technical behaviors. Latiff concludes that peace is possible but will require intense, cooperative efforts on the part of technologists, military leaders, diplomats, politicians, and citizens. This compelling and timely book will captivate general listeners, students, and scholars of global affairs, international security, arms control, and military ethics.

    A master of documentary poetry, Erika Meitner takes up the question of desire and intimacy in her latest collection of poems.In her previous five collections of poetry, Erika Meitner has established herself as one of America’s most incisive observers, cherished for her remarkable ability to temper catastrophe with tenderness. In her newest collection Useful Junk, Meitner considers what it means to be a sexual being in a world that sees women as invisible—as mothers, customers, passengers, worshippers, wives. These poems render our changing bodies as real and alive, shaped by the sense memories of long-lost lovers and the still thrilling touch of a spouse after years of parenthood, affirming that we are made of every intimate moment we have ever had. Letter poems to a younger poet interspersed throughout the collection question desire itself and how new technologies—Uber, sexting, Instagram—are reframing self-image and shifting the ratios of risk and reward in erotic encounters.With dauntless vulnerability, Meitner travels a world of strip malls, supermarkets, and subway platforms, remaining porous and open to the world, always returning to the intimacies rooted deep within the self as a shout against the dying earth. Boldly affirming that pleasure is a vital form of knowledge, Useful Junk reminds us that our selves are made real and beautiful by our embodied experiences and that our desire is what keeps us alive.

    Notwithstanding its ruthless dynamics, the capitalist economy has the flaw of deficient employment-generating spending. This leads to unemployment of non-owners, individual suffering, social unrest and it undermines military strength. To deal with these issues, states use prosthetic policies, artificial transfers to the productive economy and to non-owners. But the funding of such prosthetic policies - through violent wealth appropriation abroad, protectionism, war, domestic expropriation and taxation, debt and money creation - is caught in dilemmas, while politicians are caught between non-solutions. According to Gerhard H. Wächter, the history of capitalist society is largely the history of this dilemmatic brotherhood.
