🔍 What We’re Talking About

What does it mean to crave attention when your brain already runs on overdrive? In this illuminating episode, Cate Osborn, known to millions as Catieosaurus, joins Dustin to explore how ADHD and BDSM intersect in the tender, chaotic, and deeply human search for focus and connection. As a neurodivergent sex educator and intimacy coach, Cate brings humor and depth to a conversation about how attention, impulse, and control shape both the mind and the scene.

From hyperfocus that turns a scene electric to executive dysfunction that complicates aftercare, Cate reveals how ADHD traits can both amplify and destabilize power exchange. The discussion moves between laughter and vulnerability, exploring how structure, communication, and compassionate curiosity allow neurodiverse partners to create intentional relationships that honor difference rather than mask it. Through her own experiences in kink and advocacy, Cate reframes ADHD not as a deficit, but as a rhythm, one that, when understood, can make intimacy feel both safer and more alive.

Can attention itself become a form of devotion when the mind refuses to stay still?
