My inner critic is all my doubts the what ifs - what if I can’t ever he sex with my partner again? Is it over? Can I not get hard as they are wrong for me? What doe this mean? I spiral
Mine says I won’t be good enough or last long enough to give her what she needs and she’ll resent me outside the bedroom as well
My inner critic says this won’t be an enjoyable or pleasurable experience for me. It’ll be just like doing cardio at the gym (which I hate). I won’t be able to maintain an erection and if I do cum it’ll be in less than a minute. I’m not fit or healthy enough to last a normal amount of time for sex.
Not good enough, comparing every encounter with her past or my past. Turns into a chore to try to please her
My inner critic says " here we are again I bet you can’t do this. Probably just like last time. I bet you want to be a porn star… but you are not"

You won’t last long so you’ll just disappoint her again.
It won’t feel good. You won’t maintain an erection. You can’t please your partner. You fail as a man. You feel worthless
My inner critic tells me that I’m a bad person and not capable of real, unsimulated intimacy. And also, yes, that I won’t get hard, though I know I can and will.
I feel like she will see me as less of a man if I can’t satisfy her. It tells me that I am not dominant or masculine enough and I should be able to lead her
I want to do my best pleasuring my partner, but me not lasting long is hindering me
I really want to have good sex as it’s important to me, but I get anxiou that it won’t work

Incapable
My inner critic has the fear or not getting hard or keeping my erection. “Stay hard, stay hard, stay hard”.

I get nervous that I’lllose my erection and not be able to perform. Ruining it for my partner and leaving her unsatisfied. Once that thought happens it’s almost impossible to get my head back in the game and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Reinforcing the issue.

My inner critic comes from a place of FEAR. That’s where he lives. That’s where he calls out from.
It the doubt to be able to perform
It’s that something will go wrong in the middle/before it starts.
So excited but nervous about sex then critic shows up and says, just like last time you can’t stay hard, I,feel like if I can just get started it will be good and I can stay up but then critic says nope, not even gonna let you try, then thoughts of frustration sets in and just move on to other methods of pleasing her
Fear that I won’t be able to stay hard and make my partner satisfied
Fear of not performing for new partner, not able to stay hard or please her
