I do not know anything about my illness. I hear voices, multiple people, saying horribly abusive dehumanizing things to me. I have been without privacy for so long, I literally feel devoid of sexuality. I could walk around outside naked, and not even realize that I am naked. The voices have been so close to me for so long I am devoid of my individual privacy. It is like being raped from the inside out, so needless to say schizophrenia has left me devoid. Not to mention it began nearly as a virgin, so I have no libido or sexual desire. Is this common of schizophrenics? Lack of sexuality that is. Am I misdiagnosed? Oh and I am heterosexual.

I can relate to this. But probably not the way you think. My problem is that in psychosis I become hyper sexual , you seem to be saying that you are incapabile of any sexual feelings.

Several people here identify as asexual however wondering if you are on meds...they can very dramatically decrease you sex drive...especially the ones that increase prolactin.

As far as individual privacy I know what you mean....my voices were constant when I had them so I had to get used to the idea or peeing in front of them etc there was really no option you can't not pee. On the flip side because I was used to that I never had an issue showering etc in front of them whereas a lot of people seem to be worried about taking a shower and being watched...
