This has probably been asked before. I'm very curious to know, if people are willing to share this info that is.

God yeah. I had a boyfriend when I was 15 was fucking awful at anything remotely sexual but weirdly had a massive ego about it too. Faked them all, never had a single orgasm in 18 months of a relationship.

had a couple of short term relationships and situationships after that where I would also fake them just to avoid the awkwardness of the ‘have you finished yet?’ 🤣

Met DH at 17, only ever faked one with him after our first was born because everything felt weird and different and I couldn’t think of anything else other than how different it felt. Felt guilty after so told DH. No issues since, 12 years later😆

Why do I feel like this is going to be an article in the daily fail, or the mirror tomorrow?

lovenotwar149 · 06/01/2026 20:01

I guess one has to sound quite convincing too....maybe some practice needed - loool

What's the point of faking it? I enjoy good sex. I don't enjoy bad sex. Faking orgasms encourages more of the latter. I honestly don't care enough about any bloke's ego to do this to myself.

Have you always thought this way? Because this is how I think now. But when I was younger I definitely had an element of I guess shame/embarrassment that I couldn’t be made to orgasm in 3 whole minutes.. which is pretty unrealistic but I wasnt exactly very knowledgable in the subject back then 🤣 so I was a people pleaser.

lovenotwar149 · 06/01/2026 20:13

I haven't ever faked one. On the occasions when I haven't been able to orgasm , when younger I thought it was my problem interestingly and would be embarrassed because of that , I didnt think it was 'his' issue.
Now, usually no problem having one, but if it doesn't happen , it doesn't happen and thats ok with me

OP posts:
lovenotwar149 · 06/01/2026 20:15

I think I'd be nervous to fake it because I think it would be obvious. Maybe I need to watch 'When Harry met Sally ' again!!!!

ClawsandEffect · 06/01/2026 20:15

No. When I was younger, honestly, the blokes I shagged didn't care if I had one, so I didn't pretend. A couple of older men I've been with as an older woman have made comments about needing clitoral stimulation to orgasm, but I'm fucked if I'm being told how I should come from a person without a clitoris. Plus, a key tell that their previous partners have faked for them!

Best line yet!!!!! Loool!

Surprisingly, I did always feel this way. I can honestly say I have never faked an orgasm.
With long term partners, there was always an understanding that sometimes we just have a whole afternoon of foreplay simply to connect and it doesn't need to lead to orgasm at all. Mine or theirs.

CombatBarbie · 06/01/2026 20:20

An ex wouldnt/couldn't cum until after I had, sometimes I just had to fake it. The sex was good but sometimes it just doesnt happen.

Lamentingalways · 06/01/2026 20:24

Ooh interesting. I can only orgasm if I position myself on top and that has been the case with several partners. I’ve often wondered if I am just this way regardless of the partner or if I haven’t met anyone particularly skilled! Watching with interest.

proname · 06/01/2026 20:26

I always fake 😳 i had not realised this was not the norm… i am shocked….
maybe 9 times out of 10 i will fake because it is not that good….

Chinsupmeloves · 06/01/2026 20:32

Some women can't have orgasms so do fake all the time. Interesting topic, you wouldn't believe how many don't know what an organism is, even self tried.

Thoseslippers · 06/01/2026 20:35

I have never faked an orgasm in my entire life.. which im strangely quite proud of.
I think im proud because there's moments I had less self respect in order to please a man in my younger years.. but at least I never stopped so low as to pretend to have an orgasm.
