Can one give prior consent?

Lets say someone had a partner who was prone to mania/psychosis, two conditions that impair consent capacity. Would it be ethical for their partner to have sex with them under these conditions, assuming prior consent was given while mentally stable that it's ok to do it while psychotic/manic?

Sexual Consent Requirements

State: Alabama

https://www.apa.org/pi/aging/programs/assessment/capacity-psychologist-handbook.pdf

page 18 of this text says consent includes the ability to rationally process risks and benefits. What does this mean? Does this mean one has to be able to deliberately think through risks and benefits?

Page 20 of this document says the same thing, that there's a rationality requirement. But I can't find it in any actual legal document.
