Identifying the inner critic during soft penis pleasuring

You’re not going to get hard

My inner critique mostly commented on how my soft penis looked, almost as an analysis - too small, how I noticed little hairs half way up the shaft when I shined a torch on it, etc. It spoke in a way that that’s what’s wrong with my penis, and that’s what girls won’t like

I felt like I should’ve got hard that I had a defective penis

Inner critic says soft penis is a turn off, looks small, can’t get hard. That puts me in a headspace that I can’t perform and will be thought less of by my new partner.

Similar to what another person here said, I actually found it incredibly difficult to remain soft while doing this. I was basically doing jumping jacks trying to get my binder to go down each time. It was somewhat liberating I guess to realize how easy it is to get and keep an erection (when I’m alone that is). It gave me hope that I can overcome the mental blocks making it difficult to do that when I’m with a girl.

Sometimes when it didn’t get hard, it felt like I had a defective penis, like it was dead to the sensation.

That it should be having some effect but wasn’t and that this is what someone might experience with me, a certain level of confusion and frustration.

I feel inadequate and like a loser. I regret watching so much porn in my life my poor penis was so good to me and we had so much fun but we could have had more than that if i had respected and loved you like a friend.

I think I felt kept getting hard when touching myself and I thought “this isn’t like how it would actually go. I know it works alone, but I would be soft if someone new was touching it instead of me.

You have no control. There’s nothing you can do about it.

My inner critic just popped out all of sudden at the start and said I was a genetic dead-end. I manage to chase it away and the rest of the exercise went ok, though I kept getting a semi and kept having to let it go back down. I will definitely be repeating this exercise though.

The inner critic was telling me that I should be getting hard but that I’m not—that I can’t. As well, thoughts that others could do this but I could not arose. They caused some anxiety but I was able to dispel it by naming the critic, noticing it.

My inner critic kept telling me that having a soft penis means that I’m soft. Thus, my wife is not going to stay with a soft man.

I was still
Hoping expecting it to get hard

He said he said well we’ll see how it goes. Then he told me that “of course it’s gets hard when you’re alone instead of with a woman. And the sensations I got were that at first it didn’t feel like anything but then after a while felt good surprisingly leading to an erection.

Found it somewhat odd to be touching my penis without getting hard, but then thought to myself, that’s not the situation right now. It is just there like any other muscle of your body that is soft when unused or when the situation doesn’t call for it. Definitely going to keep doing this exercice

My inner critic was telling me, that my dick is not responding well on being touched. It’s sleepy and cannot perform well.

I heard him say your penis is a bit weird, why won’t it work properly.

Reminded me that this is what it’s like when it goes soft when it fails during sex.
