Orgasms - anyone ever faked one?

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

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.

I used to think this was me, I just couldn’t do it and thought something was wrong with me.. I think I ended up watching something on telly with people with similar issues and they had some form of therapy that taught them not to put pressure on themselves and to relax ect. I tried and it worked. I think I was concentrating so much on trying to reach an orgasm that my body just wouldn’t let it happen 🤣

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!

Oh my God I once had an ex try to tell me that every woman he had had anal sex with had cum from anal penetration alone...
No son. They did not. I'd believe one or two, but all. No.
He insisted this was the case abd there was some issue with me
Luckily I had enough self esteem to tell him to F off. Unluckily I didn't have enough self esteem to have avoided a relationship with him in the first place

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.

I've always thought that which is odd because I am a people pleaser and I did struggle with self worth in my early 20s.. but for some reason I just always had that cut off point where I was like no, absolutely not. I will not be faking an orgasm to make a man feel better.

MouseCheese87 · 06/01/2026 20:44

I have yes, when I was younger and wanted it to over and done with faster because I wasn't being satisfied. Of the men I've slept with, only about 3 of them have managed to make me orgasm. Mainly I'd just do it myself. Now I will orgasm about 8 times out of 10 and if it's not happening I'll just say.

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.

Anatomy only causing it! Me to! It's the rather a sensitive area on the anterior vaginal wall, which can help bring orgasm and certain angle from being on the top is a key

BeardedBarley · 06/01/2026 20:52

I have never once faked it.

Thanks for that.

You should all listen to Dr Miriam Stoppard on Women's Hour today talking about this topic. She was bloody hilarious.

My sex life past and present is not for the online world.

danglethedingle · 06/01/2026 21:22

I once had a very dear partner (now sadly deceased) who thought that the lady should always climax first, and preferably multiple times. Bless his heart, he was very skilful and generous, but sometimes I just could not be arsed. So I faked it just to get it over with so I could go to sleep, or read my book or just not be late for work.

RichPetuniaAgain · 07/01/2026 05:31

I did when just starting out in the world of sex. But my fake orgasms were really bad because I didn’t know what they were, so copied what I thought I’d seen on tv. This involved making a few ooh and aah sounds then tensing up like I had rigor mortis and holding that pose for a while 🤣🤣. Can look back and laugh now, but OMG it must have been a strange (and awful) experience for the other person involved.

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….

You thought orgasms we’re basically fictional, a big worldwide conspiracy theory?

You could have just not posted then. Besides, no one knows or cares who you are.

You could have not quoted me.

Who cares.

Screamingabdabz · 07/01/2026 13:37

Never faked. Why would you? No one should be faking anything - if the sex isn’t good enough they need to know.

Ew, why? I've never related less to a sentence.
Most of them are on the Sex topic.

I guess Im curious as to how a man would feel if he knew the woman he was shagging was faking an orgasm. Its possibly insulting for him
