Resumo
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder
defined by disabling levels of inattention, disorganization and/or hyperactivityimpulsivity that may interfere in diverse areas of functioning across various
stages of the human development. Impulsivity emerges as an important longterm symptom in ADHD – having a strong genetic basis with evidence of altered
reward processing and dopaminergic dysfunction – and may increase sexual risk
behavior during adulthood [1,2]. Although some studies have shown adolescents
with ADHD to exhibit more sexual risk behavior and higher levels of sensationseeking and impulsivity, a lack of similar studies in the adult population exists
The objective of this study was to compare sexual sensation seeking,
hypersexuality and sexual risk behaviors in adults with and without symptoms of
ADHD.
