I’m usually against revealing such personal details, but essentially yes I’ve faked orgasm. I didn’t put on a production or anything, but basically it got to a point where I realized it wasn’t going to happen and I was just ready to be done with it so I stopped. I didn’t try to create a perception of orgasm, but I believe that it was assumed and I did nothing to correct the assumption. ---

Once, when I was much younger with a girl who was way into me but I didn’t have much interest in. I had just been dumped and allowed myself to be seduced but just couldn’t get there. Too bad really; she was seriously hot and I really liked her, but I was just not capable of getting in the right frame of mind with my grief. ---

Embarrassing, yes, but not too much of a big deal as I was ready to go again like ten minutes later. Youth is wasted on the young! ---

I never have but I was accused of it once. My girlfriend at the time and I had a great sex life and I never had any problems attaining orgasm, but one time she was miffed and asked if I had faked it. I was like “Bwuh? Say what?” and she said, “Well, I don’t see/feel any semen.” To which I responded with something like, “So, what, we’re on Semen Patrol, now? I don’t know what to tell ya.” Where _did_ that pesky semen go? Who knows. I don’t think she ever believed me. It was strange. ---

I have, and I’ve been caught, by my wife. To this day I don’t know how she knew, but she was pissed. I haven’t tried it since then. ---

I have, a couple of times, when I was fresh out of a painful breakup. I just couldnt bring myself emotionally to a state where I could reach orgasm, and after an hour of trying, the sweet lady I was with at the time had reached one twice, and I was tired. So I faked it (condoms were worn of course) and she bought it. Strangely, an hour or so later, I felt myself stirring, and during “round two” was able to achieve lift off, so to speak. 😉 ---

Yes, mostly in ‘sloppy seconds’ situations. Sometimes it just won’t happen the second time around in a long bedroom session. ---

you’ve had 14 orgasms. you’ve been having sex for 8 hours. you’ve been doing 30 minute screwing or 69 sessions. sometimes you just hit a wall and want to wind down. ---

I’ve been tempted a few times and I’ve regretted not faking a few times. I probably will at some point in the future. ---
