What Causes Increase In Libido While On Dexedrine?

Hi, I'm female, 21 years old, and a college student. I've been on dexedrine for ADD for a few months and notice an increase in libido when I take it. I also notice that masturbation causes an increase in my impulsiveness and my ability to focus decreases. What is the reason for this?
