What does your inner critic sound like? (Part 1)

My inner critic gets stronger with each failed erection. Its voice says “she won’t want anything to do with you if this fails” and I feel drenched in a feeling of dread. I wish I could just get one sexual experience done with just to get over the hump, to look like a normal person and then just move forward and enjoy all the real stuff. Its like a locked door in front of me and it takes me to dark places. The days after a failed experience feel so sorrowful and lonely.

my inner critic feels like myself in a malevolent and snarky mood. It speaks down, and over me, and does not listen when i talk back.

My inner critic just constantly tells me to make an excuse or get out of it before its too late. I find myself not erect when the time has come and the inner critic just goes, “well nothing new here”. I have become almost numb to the words of the inner critic. He has damaged me greatly.

Mine is an inner child part where I feel like I won’t be enough, they won’t like me, it won’t feel good enough, I won’t get what I want

I guess it’s basically me talking to myself. In sex it says it’s not going to work, that I can’t do it. It’s been one to always tell me I’m not good enough.

Nothing is happening. Nothing is going to happen. This is supposed to feel good but I feel nothing.

My inner critic is literally me. Its me screaming into my own ear and a very angry tone. It feels like im never there to help myself but always their to point out my faults. He saying that you got to get hard or else your girl will find someone else or think its her fault. I wish i could tell him to shut up so I can concentrate on the pleasures that I want to feel as well as for my partner

My inner critic is too focused on outcomes.

My inner monologue sounds like a more relaxed looking version of me that kind of exasperatingly talk whispers from next to or behind me “don’t mess this up” or “dont get soft don’t get soft”

My inner critic is me and my voice just calmly, yet critically telling me asking me questions like “what if you don’t get it up?” Or telling me things like “you won’t get it up.”

My inner critic tells me I’m not going to stay hard or is my dick l hard enough. Sometimes it makes me thinking about cumming to quickly

My inner critic was someone a little distance away just saying god I hope you can get it up now and put on a decent show. More of a hope that a critic but secretly I know I’ll probably have a problem getting it up even hours before

Really I’m just worried she won’t want to try having sex with me again, if I can’t get it up. Some women can get turned off by that, and while I’ve gotten used to rolling the dice on whether I’ll have performance issues, I actually like her and want to be able to satisfy her. This is what is going through my head in the build up.

My inner critic has its mouth against my ear. Saying things like “its not going to work”, and “shes going to leave you because you arent tending to her and someone else will, or shes going to stay with you and find someone to fulfill those needs, and you just become a pawn”

My inner critic is a worried person. “Oh no, it’s taking too long” or “they seem frustrated, wish you could help.”

My inner critic has my voice, he is saying are you touching her right, does this feel good to her, am i doing too much. Why isnt she touching me yet, on that feels good am i ready, should i, am i hard enough. Will i be able to cum this time? Does it feel good for her? Is she going to get off. Am i starting to go soft? Im going soft what should i do….

My inner critic is extremely sensitive. He worries about everything he’s quick to panic. If it’s fight or flight, he is 100% flight. So much so that he makes me avoid having sex in the first place for fear of failure.

He’s extremely sensitive and gets easily upset. He needs to feel comfortable before and during sex otherwise he freaks out. When he gets upset he just starts screaming, ‘It’s not working! It’s not working!’ and I have trouble controlling him once he starts.

When we’ve stopped having sex, or stopped trying, he looks at my penis and says things like ‘I told you so’. He asks snide questions like ‘You don’t even like her, do you?’ and mocks me when I can’t get it up. He undermines my confidence in myself and my relationship. He makes me have doubts. He makes me think things like ‘Am I with the right person?’ and ‘Have I made a terrrible mistake?’ ‘Shouldn’t I be able to have sex with my wife without being so afraid?’, and ‘It shouldn’t be this hard.’

My inner critic is myself. I put so much pressure in the time leading up to the moment, with such high expectations and then it just seems to fall apart in a vicious cycle.

My inner voice screams panic at me…but if I can achieve an erection for penetration, it tends to go quiet. It is always there, now even when I masturbate.

Interesting to try and give him an appearance. I visualised something like the critic from Ratatouille, wearing a funereal and knowing expression as he stands next to my bed
