Is sex sad because it’s like going back to life in the ocean where life began some billion years ago or so? Or is it like a return to the womb? To one’s own sperm and egg uniting (also some billion years ago?). Ho-ho.
Wish I had an opinion from experience to give.

I’ve never heard of sex being classified as sad. Kind of like nobody hums when they’re in a bad mood.
No because it’s one of the few things that keeps me from totally losing it sometimes.

Sex is a strange and bizarre aspect of human life. It ranges from being a benign blessing, to mostly harmless, to one of the most disgusting aspects of life.

When the premise is not lust, an accident or when someone you care about, it could be one of the most beautiful things in the world
Haha. As I get older it isn’t as important but abilify has changed me some. Big recommendation ladies is to get on a three month bc cuz you won’t hve it but once every three months…like for reals. Been on one forever. Great cuz don’t have to deal with mood changes
Absence of sex is sadder for me, the times I got lucky did not depress me. Sex is just a little break from the harsh realities of life, including staring, flirting and fantasizing.
Sex is like a bowl of Rocky Road ice cream someone gives you on a hot summers day when you’re bored, broke, and depressed.

Sex becomes something you do to procreate only, after years of mental torment.
It’s not bad! I’d take it over no sex but situation isn’t conductive to it when your 47 and living with your parents in a small three bedroom house!
Don’t give up hope! Hope of having sex keeps me going for years and years. Getting some makes that all worth while!
I think the way people view sex is cliche and counterproductive. For example the assumption that all young people in relationships should be sexually active and so on. I don’t think these rules should apply to the mentally ill.
As a person with body image issues, OCD, schizophrenia and some other mental issues, I don’t believe I can healthily engage in sex without first considering my mental health. My mental and emotional development has been stunted. Not to mention my stability as judged by my ability to deal with emotional issues. The smallest event can throw me into a downward spiral of sorrow. I also have very distorted ideas about myself amd the world in general, this includes sex. How can someone with an emotional world as unstable as mine currently is have balance with this sort of thing and even consent to sex? The law argues that, just because someone is over this certain age, they are mentally ready for this.
While this is true for many, I don’t think it is the case for me. Psychosis is an altered state, almost like intoxication. Can a chronically intoxicated person consent to this sort of activity, or even better yet, organize or manage any or most aspects of their life independently?
Schizophrenia is a brain disorder like autism or mental retardation, and conditions like negative symptoms can closely imitate dementia. A delusional person cannot consent to sex at all in my opinion, even if to the uncaring eye they might seem somewhat coherent, or normal or whatever.
I think its sad that sex is not a part of my life and may never be, but I also realize that pretty much every third thing that happens to me makes me sad and want to cry. Sexual relationship is just another aspect of life which I find confusing and saddening. But this is to be expected in people with our illness @PinCushion, where our minds play tricks on us and can torment us with things normal people consider harmless.
At times it can be like we are looking through a fog in a way, and this can make it hard for us to be emotionally mature and or resilient when dealing with serious adult matters, like sex.

If your capable of love your capable of consent over the age of 18.
That is if your not so young of mind you cannot use a condom.
