It worry’s like me, it’s in my head when things aren’t going right. Like “oh no, it’s happening again”
My inner critic is myself. Things always tend to start off fine, but I often think “don’t cum too fast.” I repeat this to myself as I go through foreplay with my partner. Sometimes I try to look for “signs” of whether or not this will be one of those times that I do cum too fast. The problem is that once I start thinking about that, it inevitably happens. My partner often asks me to please leave it in, don’t take it out, or she’ll show signs of frustration when I have to take “breaks” in order to keep things from ending too quickly. I’ve always sort of struggled with this, or at least in phases. Recently it feels like I’ve been struggling more with it. Also in the past I’ve been able to cum a bit and stay hard, but now I’m so in my head that as soon as it happens - I lose it. My mind is harsh and tells me I keep fucking ip and that she’s inevitably going to leave because she is unsatisfied

I am confident that I have the love and emotional intimacy to get it where it needs to go, but its somewhere in the middle: am I pleasing my partner? Oh god, you’re thinking about it? Brace yourself its coming, ARE YOU READY?! And it’s almost like a panic? I think it’s feels expected that I do good, otherwise I suck and I’m a loser.
My inner critic is like a tough coach who uses aggressive tactics to make me perform a specific way. Hell tell me slap her on her butt, but as soon as coach sees me get a little bit open in the field he pushes and rushes me to score even if it’s not the game plan and/or even if scoring interferes with clock management
My inner critic , it is me, it has no voice , it has no character, it is just me and i now realise it affects me in everyday life not just in the bedroom, I have always been the type who likes control ( i dont like to fly , not cos of heights , because i am not the pilot) the problem with this is whenever my mind convinces me i can not control this situation i run from it, i dont stand and take control and after many years of no sexual encounters or experiences until my Girlfriend now of 9 months . my mind has fully convinced me that i am incapable of performing , that there is no way i can ever be good enough to please someone sexually and when the moment arrises not just in the bed but hours prior my mind starts overthinking the outcome and all i ever see is my failure then when it finally starts with the foreplay i cant stop my mind from overthinking how to not let what i believe will happen , happen , which ofc then means i am overthinking not enjoying and i am panicing making me know i cant control anything in this situation i enter fight or flight and boom its over. I need to take control of what my mind tells me and not let the negativity of a lifetime of letting my mind control me , effect my performance. i am in control of my own actions and my own thoughts, not the other way around. this exercise has helped me realise alot.

My inner critic is worrying about what I’m unable to do. It’s telling me when I workout that I can’t push myself but then someone else is able to motivate me more and I break it’s chains. That’s only if there’s someone motivating me. Often, before sex my inner critic brings up previous bad parts and that feeling of nervousness and that kills the vibe.
My inner critic has two faces. One is disappointed in me that I have allowed myself and my health to affect me this much, facing these issues. The other tries to be my emotional support and tell me that things will be OK that I won’t be charged that I can still be masculine. I have problems in troubles with both.
I am unsure of my inner critic. I don’t really here a voice in my head. When things start to go wrong in bead it is more like feelings taking over, but they are negative feelings. Fear and shame take over.

My inner critic tells me I’m not hung enough, or strong enough physically to do the things she wants me to do, that I’ll never last long enough to make her orgasm, and asks me to look for signs of her disinterest. It’s a constant and penetrating insecurity and I constantly look for things that will turn me on enough to orgasm before I lose my erection. I over-focus on things I’m expecting her to do for my benefit. Lastly my inner critic will constantly look for a reason that I can blame my issues on so I’m constantly trying to stay ahead of the sexual encounters errors by making sure my blood sugar is right or my blood pressure doesn’t get too high… I looked into what causes erections to fail one and I’ve never been able to get them off of my mind as something I need to manage in order to manage my erections and it just isn’t always possible to do these things and remain spontaneous.
It is my voice telling me will you get up this time? And it flashes back from the first time I lost my virginity and couldn’t get it up
My inner critic is the man I know I am not. Bigger than me, Uber masculine. He speaks calmly telling me I will never measure up. He tells me I won’t satisfy her. He tells me I will cum too fast and I should just stop trying
My inner critic is my half my partner and half me. The partner half tells me sex is unnecessary and if it happens, needs to be fast. The part that is me, says I’ll never stay hard long enough to have sex, and I may not even be able to get hard enough to penetrate my partner.

My inner critic is myself, it’s my voice reminding me how my partner will be disappointed and sad again because I can’t get it up. It tells me I’m not a good enough man, or maybe I’m just asexual and that’s why I can’t get hard, or it just says I won’t be able to stay hard anyway so why bother. My inner critic knows all my insecurities and jumps on them as soon as there’s an opening.
My inner critic is myself, but when I’m dismissive and almost snobbish. It’s very matter-of-fact.
It tells me that my dick isn’t big enough, or too skinny. It tells me that it won’t pleasure the other person. It tells me that my penis is ugly when it’s all soft and small, and it’s going to be a turn off for my sexual partner. Now when I try to be positive, and tell myself that you used it just fine on plenty of guys and gave many people mind-breaking orgasms before these problems started, it just sounds fake. I start overthinking and it completely takes me out of the moment.
My inner crictic is myself but an asshole side of myself. It gives me so much self doubt because I was really hurt in my past relationship that I’m going to screw up again. Then I get so embarrassed where I think to myself that I know I’m not going to get an erection so I just give up. Then I have to tell the girl it’s not her that I’m just in my own head. My inner Critic is an asshole
The inner critic is myself, there’s nothing more that I want than to have sex with my partner. I can get hard during points of foreplay but literally just before penetration happens it goes soft and my inner critic decides to talk with something like “again I thought so”.
Constantly self sabotaging me by making me thinking of negative things like trying to not lose the erection and feeling afraid of sex. Also it keeps changing focus to other things that I should be constantly worrying about.

Fuck my inner critic.That guy is killing my sex life.
A little worm who wears ragedy ass clothes. He’s the dark evil version of me.
It has my voice inside my head, usually telling me what’s going to happen in a few minutes when things go wrong, like it’s predicting my failures
