I have spent years sitting across from men who feel like they are broken. As Martina Somorjai (Szundi), I’ve had the privilege of guiding 500 men through the murky waters of bedroom struggles, and if there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the "robotic" feeling is more common than you think.
When I talk about robotic intimacy, I’m talking about that moment when you are physically present, but your mind is running a checklist. You are performing. You are trying to remember the "moves" you saw on a screen, or you are hyper-focused on whether your body is going to cooperate. You aren't experiencing joy; you are seeking compliance.
Through my work with these 500 individuals, I discovered that nearly 40% of them were dealing with the heavy aftermath of digital screen-based habits. They weren't just struggling with physical response issues; they were struggling to feel anything at all. But here is the good news: almost all of them fixed their timing issues, their lack of drive, and their physical response hurdles. They moved from being performers to being participants.
The 500-Man Milestone: What I Learned
In my journey as a coach and guide, reaching the 500-client mark was a revelation. It provided a massive dataset of the modern male psyche. When men come to me, they often think they are the only ones facing these issues. They feel isolated in their performance anxiety.
However, the data shows a clear pattern. Out of those 500 men, a staggering 40% identified that their primary struggle was rooted in high-frequency consumption of digital adult visuals. This habit creates a "robotic" loop. The brain becomes wired to respond to pixels and novelty rather than the warmth and unpredictability of a real partner.
What happens when you bring that robotic brain into a real bedroom? You get performance anxiety. You get a body that doesn't listen to your commands. You get a mind that is constantly wondering, "Is this working? Am I doing enough?"
The shift we achieve in the my PoP Program isn't just about "fixing" a mechanic. It’s about restoring the human element. We focus on moving away from compliance-driven acts: where you are just trying to get the job done: and moving toward real, felt intimacy.
Physical Response Struggles and Their Psychological Causes
One of the biggest hurdles is understanding erectile dysfunction psychological causes. Most men immediately assume there is something wrong with their plumbing. They think they need a blue pill or a doctor. While health checks are important, more often than not, the issue lies in the software, not the hardware.
The psychological causes of physical response issues usually fall into three categories:
- The Comparison Trap: Your brain is comparing your partner to the hyper-stimulated, edited visuals you've seen online.
- The Spectator Role: Instead of being "in" your body, you are watching yourself from the ceiling, judging your performance.
- The Stress Loop: You had one bad night, and now every subsequent night is a test you are afraid of failing.
When you are in this state, your nervous system is in "fight or flight" mode. You cannot have a healthy physical response when your brain thinks it’s under attack. My approach is to de-escalate that internal alarm system. We move away from the "robotic" need to perform and back into the safety of the present moment.

From "Checking Boxes" to Joyful Peaks
I remember one specific client: let’s call him David. David was a high-achiever. He approached the bedroom like he approached a board meeting. He wanted to ensure his partner reached their peak, but he felt nothing himself. It was a chore. He was "compliant." He was doing everything "right," but he was miserable.
David was one of the 40% whose digital habits had numbed his real-world sensations. For him, the act of intimacy had become a script.
To help David: and the hundreds of others like him: we had to break the script. We had to stop focusing on the "finish line" and start focusing on the sensation. When we talk about reclaiming your life, we are talking about the shift from a mechanical release to a joyful, full-bodied climax.
When you stop performing, your body finally has the space to respond naturally. The timing issues (finishing too early) often disappear when the pressure to "be a certain way" is removed. The lack of libido returns when the brain is no longer over-saturated with digital dopamine hits.
How to Stop Performance Anxiety in Bed: 3 Simple Shifts
If you are currently feeling like a robot in the bedroom, here is how you can start to break the cycle. This is the foundation of how to stop performance anxiety in bed:
1. Radical Presence
When you feel your mind wandering to "How am I doing?" or "Is she happy?", bring it back to your five senses. What do you smell? What does your partner’s skin feel like? This grounds you in the "now" and pulls you out of the "robotic" performance.
2. Digital Detox
If you are part of that 40% struggling with screen habits, you need to give your brain a rest. You can’t expect to appreciate a candle-lit dinner if you’ve been eating nothing but spicy fast food for years. Your brain needs to recalibrate its sensitivity. You can learn more about this in The Brain Rewiring Guide.
3. Redefining Success
Success in the bedroom isn't a firm physical response or a specific duration. Success is connection. When you take the pressure off the physical outcome, the physical response usually follows. If you find your progress has stalled, I’ve written about why your performance plateau isn't moving.
The Path to Natural Confidence
Reclaiming your life isn't just about the bedroom. When the men I work with fix these issues, their confidence in every other area of life skyrockets. They are more present at work, more connected to their partners, and generally happier. They stop living in a fog.
I’ve seen this happen 500 times. It works. The my PoP Program is designed to take you through this rewiring step-by-step. We don't use gimmicks or pills; we use the science of how your brain and body communicate.
I am so confident in this process because I have seen it transform so many lives. That is why I offer a 14-day money-back guarantee. I want you to feel the shift for yourself without any risk. If you don't feel that you are starting to move away from that robotic, disconnected state within the first two weeks, I’ll give you your money back. No questions asked.
Are You Ready to Feel Again?
You don't have to live with the frustration of a body that won't cooperate or a mind that won't stay present. You don't have to keep performing a script that brings you no joy.
Whether you are struggling with timing, physical response, or a general lack of interest, the root cause is often simpler than you think: and it is definitely fixable. I have helped 500 men find their way back to real intimacy, and I can help you too.
The first step is understanding where you stand. I invite you to take the Potency Questionnaire to see what’s really going on beneath the surface. It’s time to move from robotic acts to real, joyful living.
