But if people talked about it at work the next day you pretended that you had?

Congratulations to the women in your life, you actually pay attention. The man for whom I faked orgasms would not believe my real ones but believed the faked ones.

I generally go with one of my favorite quotes from The Jerk

“Oh yeah? Well I faked mine too!”

I don’t claim to have brought a women to orgasm each and every time. In fact, I know I haven’t. The point is that it has always been plainly obvious which have been which.

Yanno, the idea of women faking orgasm is as disturbing as, oh, men lying about how much money they make. Or politicians lying about pretty much anything.

People lie. It’s an imperfect world. What ya gonna do?

My ex used to fake the first orgasme, just so she could get the pressure of it out of the way…  
After faking the first she could relax and enjoy the sex and sometimes she would have a real one shortly later…

or that is what she told me…

But……

I am a guy and I have faked it once or twice

One the unfortunate side effects antidepressants had with me was the inability to ejaculate during sex, (Anorgasmia) ,  
after a decent amount of time: increase breathing, moan a bit , shudder remove the condom and throw the empty condom away, snuggle up with the girl ……

This is probably good for it’s own thread, but I’ve faked before. Under the right conditions even a dude can pull it off. I mean, you know, make it believeable. Without having a cup of yogurt handy.

Damn, ninja’d by a kitten.

I’m not sure that was in _The Jerk_. Given the thread, it’d be funny if it was, but I recall that line from _All of Me_, which I put up there with _Groundhog Day_ and _Christmas Story_ as a film that will eventually have its day and find its audience. Not a great film, by any means, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

You may be right, I’m DVRing the Jerk today, it’s on AMC at 3, so I’ll get a chance to confirm.

YMMV but I have had on one extreme some that have had very visible squirting orgasms to some where I had to ask (to which I got the reply “Oh my god couldn’t you tell?”, she was also very quiet and certainly wasn’t trying to sell it). Everyone’s physical reactions are different, which is one of the great things about exploring each other when you have a new partner. If you have always had partners with strong muscular reactions good for you.

I’m not sure whether to be sympathetic for all the failed attempts, or envious that he got so many opportunities.

Fine. I’ll be the one to float the old mysoginist joke:  
Do you know why women fake orgasms?

Because they think we care.

I’ve had occasions with my sweete when he thought I hadn’t come, and I already had. 😛 And other times when he thought I was faking and I wasn’t; I was just more vocal than usual. Each orgasm’s different for me, so…Up until now I haven’t faked it, but I’ve also not been really worried about anyone’s feelings. I can orgasm and what I want immediately after that is SEX!!! POUNDING SEX!!! Orgasm is not the end of sex for me, and not completion, so…nobody’s gonna get me off the first night, period, and I haven’t had many one-night stands where it was an issue. They can SATISFY me, totally! But orgasm? Pfft. It’s it’s own party, and sometimes _I’m_ not even invited, so…the less worried about, the better.
