I’m a little shy about asking this question, but I think this is the best place to ask. Why is it that women always brag about this to men? Does it actually happen to any of you women? I think it is just something some women like to gloat about (false or not) to men since men are always gloating about being able to pee standing up. 😃 I don’t know, once I reach the O, there is no way I could even \* think\* about having another in quick succession. I don’t think I could even try, physically, even if I _wanted_ to. I’d have to wait at _least_ half an hour to be “reloaded”…and by that time, he’d be lucky if I’m still awake. Forgive me for breaching the sisterhood and revealing our secret to men, but personally, this multiple thing is bullshit. 😃 Any naysayers? ---

My ex girlfriend had multiple orgasms nearly every time we had sex. Once we did it and she couldn’t take it because it was like she was trapped in one long O. Too much of a good thing I guess. She musta loved sex though because she cheatd on me on a regular basis, hence EX-gf. ---

I have been with women who have had multiple orgasms with me. I won’t go into detail, but yes; I know they were real. ---

Ok, another question: how do you guys know they aren’t faking?Some women are pretty good at this. I’m not trying to offend anyone, but it could be to make the partner feel that they are excellent in bed. _umnoIhaveneverdonethisever_ ---

Well, I figure I’ll stick up for the female gender here. 😉 I’ve had them–they happen every so often, maybe once or month or so. It’s not like I concentrate on having another orgasm; it kind of just happens. Maybe another female can explain this more eloquently, but for me, they’re definitely real. ---

They are real. Very real. I’ve had them (up to 4 at a time, which was amazing for me), and I’ve given them (up to 15 at a time). In fact, my record is 50 given in 24 hours… :o ---

However, I do know of a few men who boasted that they could “tell”, when they had no clue that many “indicators” could be very well faked…and the wetness…well, a byproduct of the previous moments. They had no clue that it wasn’t what they thought it was. ---

They’re very real for me. I have multiples every time my husband and I have sex; several in one session aren’t uncommon, and I think my high was around 50 in one extended session many years ago. I don’t know how/if he can tell they’re real, I haven’t thought to question him. ---

When you say “a time” or “a session”…elaborate. Is it 1 minute apart? 4 minutes apart? Or 2 hours apart? 😃 ---

That particular lengthy session lasted somewhere between an hour and two hours I think, so there were some extended slow periods where it didn’t happen. It’s been a decade, afraid I don’t have any timekeeping records from then. 🙂 Normally, anywhere from maybe 10 seconds to a minute or two apart perhaps? ---

Forrgive my opinion, but I think there are a lot of men out there who get hoodwinked. Thanks, **Denise**. I think I am just happy with the big KA-BOOM.! once, then I can go to sleep. 🆒 ---

Trust me multiple orgasms are definately real. My ex GF would have them nearly every time. The screams would be so loud she would ask me to partly cover her mouth so poeple next door wouldn’t think someone was being murdered! One time she was in tears at the end. I was really concerned but she was OK, but it took a while to recover. I will say that I never had quite the same affect on other GFs, but I don’t really know what factors contribute to this. She did try to describe what it felt like it to me once, but I guess its one of those things you need to experience first hand to understand. I hope some other guys can empathise with this, as I’m sure I’m not the only one this has happened to. ---

Yah, I also had a GF long ago who had many multiples routinely. She said she couldn’t usually count them, they tended to just roll together one after another. One time she estimated she’d had 15-20 in a row. :eek: As for faking: why? To impress me? Heck, I was waiting for her to finish so I could get off – 20-40 minutes of watching her have the Big O was certainly flattering, but after the first 20 minutes of orgasm it got fairly frustrating not being able to join in for fear of ruining her good time (she didn’t get multiples from manual/oral manipulation, just from intercourse; go figure). Not that I’m complaining: it certainly beats having an unresponsive or unsatisfied partner. MrsSqueegee has herself reported multiple O’s (2-4) from time to time, but there seems to be no pattern or trigger. It just happens if it happens. ---

They are definitely real. I have them about 80% of the time. No, really. ---

Depending on what we are doing, I can average between 8-15 in about an hour. Mmmmmm, orgasms. ---
