I swear the footsteps trigger a Pavlov response in me at this point. I can even tell who it is by the footsteps

Pavlov

As in you instantly lose an erection, because you’ve been conditioned to associate footfalls with a ruined orgasm?

I can only get off if I hear approaching footsteps

I used to be able to do that, too! These days, I live with two people: an adult wife and a toddler. Their gaits are pretty easily distinguishable.

Trauma, neurodivergence, or both detected!

By nature noticing these things repeatedly either comes from hypervigilance or having sensory differences that make you hear footsteps when others would not.

Obviously there are exceptions like if you live on a floor lower than someone or something.
