The inner critic tells me I won’t be able to satisfy her. That this thing has been built up too much and that I can’t live up to the expectations that have been set. I hope I can but that voice says I can’t.
My inner critic tells m that I forgot wha sex is and wha pleasures me. It took me back to m first sex experience as a teenager.
I don’t have good body, awkward, uncoordinated
My lack of experience will show, and will I be able to finish
It’s not going to happen again…
My inner critic points out all the things that might go wrong and imagines my wife’s negative reaction.
“oh ___, it’s happening again.” Then lose focus and concentrate on that thought. That leads to thinking "how ____ing frail, you lose your erection at the slightest thought.
This is exactly the same as me! How I long for the sensual touch again, but it now seems that sex is just penetration, when to me it’s so much more.
Cannot initiate, as i know, i will not get hard without stimulation…
There’s zero chance I’ll be able to have sex with condom on. I can’t even stay hard without one.
A worry in my chest, a tingle in the end of my dick telling me I won’t be able to get hard. A numb tingling in my left foot that tries to tell me that I’m not going to perform well.
A feeling of panic in the pit of my stomach over a situation that hasn’t even happened yet. Anxiety over something which seems inevitable but really isn’t. Inner critic is the only thing I’m conscious of when in the moment, it distracts from all other feelings and emotions at that time
It lets me become more conscious of what’s about to come and let me not focus on the present and enjoy the moment. And that my erection is going to go away
For me it’s like the scene for infinity war were Bruce couldn’t get the hulk to come out, my inner is critic is like Tony star, Bruce is my penis, and the hulk is the erection I know is possible but refusing to come out
Back in the day , 21-38yrs old when I was in a position to have sex my inner critique was like an anxiety pull. What I mean is when I was about to have sex my heart would give like a double tap ,almost as if to say here goes, then seconds later I would be erect. This happened alot back then.
I don’t know what has happened but since the time I turned 40 (57 now) this doesn’t happen anymore and I feel totally inadequate.
You will disappoint your partner. You will never get an erection.
You’re not confident enough, you’re going to create a conflict by being to self conscious and talking too much
You will disappoint your partner. You will never get an erection.
Are you going to stay erect/hard
i always have a thought like “oh no it’s-happening again i’m losing my hard on. The slightest thoughts get me out of the zone. when i get a feeling im losing my hard on my critic says “ get your head in the game “
