Maybe. I can’t say I’m the epitome of mental health. I just know I don’t really feel like being intimate when I’m very stressed or depressed about something. Mindless fucking while I’m wasted, maybe. But those days are gone.
Did no one else notice this “psychotic episode” bit?
None of us can diagnose his problem over the internet. A psychotic episode could be part of a significant mental health condition or diagnosis. Has he sought treatment? Is he on medication for bipolar or other condition? Medications have all sorts of side effects, and mental health may be playing a role here.
It is also possible that depression or other life events make a man temporarily uninterested in sex, with or without a mental health issue.
And I should add: people with mental health struggles may also have good sex. But it can also work the other way, where a mental health struggle or medications can make someone lose interest for a while.
If you care for him it may be worth finding a non-threatening way to discuss mental health and sex life (admittedly two touchy topics). Just try to approach the topic without “blaming” him, which hopefully leads to a more productive discussion.
If the two of you can have honest conversations it may lead to a better sex life and long term relationship. Or, it may lead to a decision to part ways or live a different life. Either way it sounds like you’re not getting what you want from this situation, so it’s worth an honest talk.
You can get a boner when wasted ? That is impresive . I usually could barely remember what happened in my 20s when drinking. Just know that some women I dated then I could only dream about dating now ha ha
haha, I know this experience. Back to main topic, I do think its odd the man turns down her as this chat shows and maybe needs at least to talk about it if it can helped with medical or other help, I would say or ask something.
