Identifying the inner critic during soft penis pleasuring (Part 2)

No inner critical voice

Completely agree with this!! I think the solution is remembering that it’s normal to not instantly be hard sometimes and that it’s natural for the penis to harden and soften throughout sex

It was kind of peaceful not having an inner voice

Absolutely agree. I felt fine playing with it while soft but my wife sees it as a failure on her part and that massively ramps up the pressure and anxiety for me

Didn’t hear anything

At first I was kind of worrying about if I was going to get hard or not, but as I focused more and more on myself I felt more relaxed and turned on

I enjoyed it! I’m learning to be comfortable with my penis and body and not to be critical. It feels really good to be with my penis without the pressure to get hard and perform.

Inner critic wanted to jump in but couldn’t find an insecure thought to exploit. I’m ok as-is, no need to impress to feel ok

If any there would be a women here now it can’t go inside of her.

The exercise sort of felt clinical, so my inner critic didn’t have much to say

I didn’t really feel an inner critic. My main issue was that I actually kept starting to get hard which was weird

It felt awkward at first, like most masturbation or penis-focused exercises in this app do, but I get why it’s useful. I’m trying to be more mature about it and trust the science. Rewiring the unconscious takes time and consistency, so I’ll keep doing it a few times a week until I’m genuinely comfortable with my penis being soft, mentally and physically. Wish me luck!

Looking at my own penis and exploring it I couldn’t not get hard

There were a couple of moments where I remembered previous experiences with my partner where I couldn’t get hard

Inner critic was telling me my dick isnt good, that I “shouldnt” need to do this
