I’ve experienced paranoia in those situations too. Yeah the mood is totally gone, it’s annoying. I wonder if it would be easier if I took a shot or two beforehand. Maybe a benzo.
Although I am not schizophrenic, I can relate.
I sleep with my legs crossed (I am a woman) every night and I also sleep fully clothed, due to the fact that I can no longer feel safe nude or sleeping with my legs apart, in the past I have had dreams that were real (spiritual not just dreams). In a dream I have had a demon pretend to be a man and touch me to try to make love, then when I resisted because I felt something was odd I out of the blue saw him revealed as satan (or a demon of). I felt raped and stuck like I was paralyzed and although mentally and spiritually awake I was physically paralyzed, terrifying!
When something is scary beyond normal or natural reality that most people are aware of (on this physical dimension), if you get paranoa or fearful the demon or situation will get worse, but if you mentally calm or pretend to calm in order to become calm then pray to God in your head, whatever scared you will stop or go away.
I hope this helps. 
It has helped me retain my sanity (I am not schizophrenic but I feel day after day or night after night of awake dreams at one time almost pushed me to schizophrenia, I fought through prayer although I am not religious I just talk to God in my mind then I feel peace).
My friend he is schizophrenic and told me he felt weird being sexual with me. I later realized why, he hears voices or feels other might hear him think and often feels he hears the thoughts of others, when hears voices I think he feels kind of like he is sharing me but he doesnt want to share something that is special to him :). If I was not special to him he would not feel a little weird because he wouldnt mind sharing with the voices or thoughts if a girl doesn’t mean anything to him.
I think it is sweet, and not offended. I am not very superficial and have a pretty big understanding of other peoples perspectives especially since he is the one person who has always said what he means (he has never spoken to me out of anger or untruth -although he omits things that he is afraid I wont understand and I understand that).

I’d try starting on your back and her on top so you can look around easy. Might help with the feeling of people behind you. Best of luck. Yohimbie is actually better than viagra in my experience. Just watch out for the sided effects
I wish I had something to get excited about, I went through the same thing, threw out everything electrical thinking they had camera’s hidden in them.
Now I’m ok but it is difficult to get my mind even thinking in that direction, which makes getting excited very difficult
@VoiceOfFriendship I’d like to encourage you to join our forum for Family and Caregivers that can be found at:

Also, please let your loved one know about this forum as they may find it helpful.
Best of luck,
