My libido is ok but I can’t come due to meds
When I was younger… undiagnosed… usually drunk or high… I was very indiscrete (rampant). There were some very toxic situations. Didn’t help me out at all in the end.
Then when I was diagnosed and put on heavier meds… that entire part of my life ended… I couldn’t function. No hope… best just be non-sexual… (purify and become a monk… )
But then the meds got switched up a lot and that part of my life (the urges anyway) began to wake up… and I have a friend who turned into a girlfriend who knows I’m SZ and what that means (she’s had some trauma in her life)
little by little… this part of life is starting to come back.

Single for now. I’m just coming out of that too distracted by the illness phase. Sex would have been a ridiculous consideration up to this point.

I am hanging up my ability to have sex so that I can get on a med that will help with my intrusive thoughts. I’ve already discussed this with my partner and she is fine with it. Kind of emotional right now about it.
I have had quite a sex life. It was fun.
Now I date my smartphone…just started dating a new girl. Lol dating and sex can be unrelated at times.

I’ve been with my partner for 7 years, we have enjoyed a varying sex life. When i first got sick we had sex all the time due to my hypersexuality because of the bipolar part of my schizoaffective disorder. Then it’s had it’s ups and down and ups again because of varying meds. Right now we have sex about 3-4 times a week depending on her schedule for work. i have a hard time experiencing climax due to my meds but we try.

I would hate to be in a situation where your GF was there and whatever you couldn’t perform. Well aha! Yes I had a eureka moment. Are sex drives are not attuned, the libido is dull. Well you got to fight fire with fire, if you need some circulation down there I’m not talking about viagra since I’m not that old yet, however being 33 doesn’t save me from performance embarrassment. That Horny Goat Weed, and some human growth hormone (arginine) should bypass the meds but not totally, I mean you got to really not take meds like klonopin if your expecting a sexual encounter. Take meds afterwards maybe. If possible. Good Luck with that
I’ve never enjoyed sex.
I tried it and hated it.
It’s repulsive to me.
I despise these bodies like nothing else.

I’ve enjoyed a very fulfilling sex life. I’m schizo-affective and it seems like it would be harder for schizophrenic who just had paranoia to enjoy one. I don’t know about that though.

I wouldn’t reveal that on a first date. Save that revelation for a second or third date.

I think trust is everything. Trust and love.
Risperdal causes frigidity in female, ED for men. I think the male breast development & lactation would be more upsetting… Some of the psych drs still do not discuss the side effects. Side effects wear off in 6 months after you stop risperdal consta shots.
