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.application/pdfengopenAccessSEXOLOGIASEXUALIDADEHIPERSEXUALIDADECOMPORTAMENTOS DE RISCOADULTOSPROCURA DE SENSAÇÕESDISTÚRBIO DO DÉFICIT DE ATENÇÃO E HIPERATIVIDADESEXOLOGYSEXUALITYHYPERSEXUALITYRISK BEHAVIOURSADULTSSENSATION SEEKINGATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER
