Faking It

Faking It

I was reflecting on a recent blog post about things that life is too short for and one of the things I thought to put on the list was faking it... you know orgasms. I was thinking back on the sad days of mediocre sex, which I no longer tolerate (btw) and wondering when, if ever, is it okay to fake it?


I've heard that guys have this incessant need to be reassured that they are doing a good job in bed.  The best indicator, it seems, is the female orgasm.  I've been privy to some good sex in my day but I'll admit, not every experience (even the great ones) produced the big 'O'.  I've never really had the desire or the acting capability to fake it so, whenever asked whether or not I came-- even after good sex-- I'm likely to say no if it didn't happen.  I am a firm believer that if you spend all of your time faking like you had an orgasm you're decreasing the likelihood of actually having one.  How can a guy know that he needs to try something else if you're busy oooing and ahhing over nothing.


I wish someone-- some guy-- would tell me the truth, how important is it to the male ego that your girl has an orgasm on an at least semi-, if not regular basis?  Let's not pull the unlucky chick(s) who've never had the pleasure of experiencing "the pleasure" into this conversation because she's an unfortunate exception.  Is it ever wise to fake it and do guys even know the difference?  


Just wondering...
