Why Do Women Fake Their Orgasms?

Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

OK, let’s be honest. How many of you have faked or known someone who regularly fakes orgasms?

If you’re in this boat, I get it. There are plenty of reasons women fake it, and I’m shedding some light on these motivators in today’s Language of Love Bite. Whether it’s a presumed act of mercy, you haven’t had an orgasm before, or you’re unsure how to replicate the orgasm you experience on your own, I want to help you reach a point where you can be honest with your partner.

In this Bite, I’m explaining:

• The mercy fake
• The stages of an orgasm
• How to tackle shame as the secret orgasm killer
• Why some women don’t advocate for their pleasure
• Ideal ingredients for sexual pleasure
• How best to tackle it with your partner if you’ve been faking it!

Remember that orgasms and arousal depend on several different factors. If you’re not reaching an orgasm every time you have sex, that’s completely normal! But pleasure is your birthright. Let go of those expectations and enjoy the process!
