Faking Orgasms
Chapter 2

Another situation in which women find themselves feigning bliss is that wherein they are in bed with a new partner who doesn't seem to have any of the right moves. Consequently, you find yourself contemplating the phone call you had earlier with your best friend rather than what is going on in bed. Then when your partner seems like he is approaching orgasm you, as if on cue, pretend to climax also. Now what have you done? If you find yourself in bed with this guy again, he may treat you to a repeat performance, as you seemed to enjoy it so much! If not, you've left some future partner subject to his awkward ministrations.

Ladies, there are a multitude of excuses for faking an orgasm. For every reason you feel you should, or need, to put on a performance however, there is a substantially more valid motivation to avoid this practice. A compelling argument for not faking orgasms is the dishonesty inherent in this act. Most partnerships deem trust a primary relationship building block and deception, whatever the motivation, erodes this foundation. More importantly, you are being dishonest with yourself. You may find it easy to lie to someone else, but how do you go about lying to yourself effectively? A third and substantial reason to refrain from having that faux orgasm is that you are cementing a flawed behavioral pattern in place. You keep pretending to enjoy what your partner is doing; he, seeking to please you persists and perhaps foregoes other elements of his sexual repertoire (as this seems to be working), and as a result, you like it even less. This becomes a vicious circle of positive reinforcement gone awry and it's hard to make it stop. After you've been having sex with someone for a long period of time, how are you to tell him after months, or even years have passed that you have always hated something or other when you have heretofore feigned delight in it? At that point, you would likely really damage his ego, and cause him to doubt the whole relationship as well as everything you've ever said to him.

No matter what your particular reason is for faking an orgasm, it basically all boils down to one thing: poor communication. It is very important to communicate your sexual needs to your partner and so many women fail to. If you can't reach climax by simple intercourse, tell him that. It doesn't mean that you have to deprive him of what he likes, but that he will have to also stimulate you either manually or orally at some point in your sexual rendezvous. If you generally enjoy the way that he touches you but you just can't achieve orgasm that night because you are too distracted by what happened at work that day, encourage him to enjoy himself and then explain to him later that the reason that you didn't have an orgasm was not because of his inability to please you, but rather that you had too many other things on your mind. If you are not feeling like having sex tell him why! Most men when confronted with "Honey, I love you but I've had a really tough day at work etc. and I'm not feeling that sexy right now…" will either understand and ask you about your day or at worst leave you alone. Many men will offer you comfort, perhaps in the form of a massage, hug or what have you - and maybe that's what you really need anyway. If you are afraid of communicating your needs, how is it that you expect to have them met? Of course, he may just be trying to coax you out of your sour mood so he can get some sex - but what's wrong with that?! If it works, then you will both be happy.
