Phenomaman was insecure. Yes, the beloved hero admired by so many, the man who always wore a smile and radiated positivity, felt insecure. He was strong, smart, and confident, but after his breakup with Blonde Blazer, he began to question everything about himself.

He was a true gentleman, so it couldn’t have been his chivalry. He always put her needs first, and he was undeniably handsome, so it wasn’t his looks either. What could have caused her to end things?

A conversation with Robert Robertson echoed in his mind. “My alien genitals were not compatible with hers.”

Could that really be the reason? Was his self-worth tied to that? His fear of not being enough, of not satisfying her in the way she wanted, haunted him. This was what kept him up at night, wrestling with his thoughts.

Phenomaman had to move on. He couldn’t dwell on Blonde Blazer forever; he was a hero, after all. So he picked himself up and started dating someone new, you. You meant the world to him, a fresh passion to cherish and love. But even with you, he felt that familiar fear.

He knew you wanted to take the next step in your relationship. He understood your desires, but how could he meet them? You had no idea about his worries. How could he possibly bring it up? Yet, you noticed. You were always perceptive, and that was one of the things he loved about you.

Despite being so down-to-earth, you were sharp and aware. You sensed that something was off, especially since he always changed the subject whenever things got intimate. You needed to know what was troubling him.
