Why Women Fake Orgasms and How to Tell

Yes, women fake orgasms. As a woman who has lived a long time and talked "sex" with many of my girlfriends through the years, I can tell you that when having sex with their boyfriends or husbands, about 99% of all women say they have faked it. And, 100% of the time, the women swear he never knew the difference. I have heard men say over and over, "If my woman was faking it, I would KNOW." Yeah, right. Sure you would. All men say that, but I bet there are very few that actually can.
Men like to think when they make love to a woman that she is actually having the best sex of her life, or at the very least, that he has completely satisfied her.

Even though today's women are getting more vocal about sex than, say, our grandmother's generations, there are still a large number of women who just don't feel comfortable telling a man what they want done in bed. They may think it, they may shift their bodies, they may try to imagine some fantasy to get themselves excited when he isn't doing it for them, but very many of them won't say a word. Why? Because women realize how fragile the male ego is. One woman I know said that after years of therapy and decades of marriage, she said to her husband one night during foreplay,

"I'd really like to try to have an orgasm tonight."
"What do you mean. Don't you always?"
"Hmmm...no."
"You have been faking it!"
"Yeah, sometimes."
"How many times have you faked it?"
"Uh....over twenty."
"Twenty times!!?"
"No, over twenty years."

She said her sex life ended that night. Her husband gradually became less and less interested and finally there was no sex life and they lived out the rest of their marriage in celibacy. So telling is not necessarily such a great thing to do.

Why do women fake it? The reasons are probably as varied as the number of women. The most common reasons are

1.) a woman needs to feel close and really trust her partner in order to be that vulnerable. (So unless you are doing it the first time after your engagement or marriage or a truly romantic evening you've been planning for months, she probably faked it.)

2.) she's tired. She just wants it over with.
