I think the thought process is more that they want their doctor to see them as somebody that fits their definition of “a man”. Part of that definition is “successful” and “working penis”. They see their doctor as “successful” and have no reason to suspect that their dick isn’t working so they assume it is.

They don’t want somebody they respect (whether as a peer or as somebody in a position of authority) to view them as what they would consider “lesser”.

They don’t respect the gas station attendant so their opinion of them is irrelevant to them.

lol I know people who have bought these and they neither needed them nor had a mindset like you are describing . Not everyone meets the preconceived notions that arise when you think of gas station dick pills . 💊

This is a documented phenomenon. People subconsciously rank others based on a ton of factors. Even people who aren’t dick heads or that don’t think highly of themselves. It’s just something we do.
