Well, I've tried looking back through threads and haven't heard anyone mention sex (side effects) while taking psychostimulants; nor is it mentioned in any literature I can find.
Is this a non-issue (with regard to stimulants)? I was concerned because I am in an intimate relationship and the last thing I need is to have a sexual-dysfunction type thing happen to me.
Also, do different stimulants have different effects on sex? I am taking Adderall (ADD). Would consider trying Ritalin or Dexedrine if they have different effects.
Thanks!

My personal experience is (with ADD) that the stimulants didn't significantly affect sex. Ritalin works well for ADD for me and I find it helps me concentrate better. I find dexedrine slightly energizing and find I have slightly increased sex drive on it. The effects are slight.

If you are a guy the stims can give you problems with potency, but other than that, seem to be fine and even increase drive in many cases.
