Sometimes people with Schizophrenia have erotomanic delusions. They believe that another person, usually someone famous, is madly in love with them.

You can't lump it into one category saying good or bad thats why schizophrenia is schizophrenia unlike bipolar disorders it is defined by the fact it is random.
you put a good delusion and a bad delusion ball into a big tub full of balls that have anything at all names addresses movies songs colours fabrics sports emotions numbers letters and what comes out comes out theres no determining what will come out because that is how schizophrenia is.
Just because they may have a lot of negative symptoms or such doesn't come close to meaning that the sexual delusion it's self will be negative.
Anti psychotic medication dumbs down the sex drive quite a bit and without those urges maybe schizophrenics will have no sexual delusions but like I said it is TOTALLY random they have a chance of having them as much as they have a chance of anything else in life but if they're having delusions at all even sexual ones they're evidently not on medication so they'd probably still have the same working sex drive.
It's really not something we can just pin point down no one here will have a correct guess of what their sexual delusions will be like it is a 100% random guess
So unless theres a schizophrenic on here who has had a sexual delusion then that will be one piece to the puzzle but it'll probably be 100% different to the next schizophrenic in line. Each person's story will always be different

There is no set delusion any schizophrenic can have, they are completely relative to the indiviudal, the schizophrenic may have loving sexual delusions, they may have violent ones, it all depends on what the brain feels like doing, but more often they are negative hurtful delusions

That they have been raped. Since schizoprenics tend to be paranoid any sexual delustions they have aren't going to be the "good" kind that's for sure.
