Faking
It
Why
Do Women Fake Orgasms & How To Work Through It
|
The
truth is that most women have faked an orgasm in their life
time, and many women continually do it. You may wonder,
as many do, why so many women do this.
Below
are several reasons. What should be noted is that often
the reasons why a woman is feeling the need to fake an orgasm
is usually a combination of these-

Not
receiving the right stimulation to get them to orgasm.
In
this situation, a woman knows how to reach orgasm and does
on her own, however, she is unable to reach one with her
partner as the partner is not stimulating her in a way that
builds her to have an orgasm.
What
Can Be Done?
A
woman and her partner need to communicate about what pleasures
her. She needs to express what she desires, as well as become
educated with her partner about sexual
techniques (intercourse,
fingering, oral
sex, sex toys, female
ejaculation, sex positions
and more.) A simple change in position of raising the pelvis
to doggy style can assist as well as using a vibrating cock
ring during penetration. There are so many possibilities,
but the key is to relax, not get fixated on a result and
simply enjoy experimentation in learning what will get her
there!

Insecure
about her body.
Most
women are insecure about their bodies. It is unfortunately
a side effect of a confused culture obsessed with physical
beauty and the perfection of it.
What
Can Be Done?
While
it is quiet difficult due to social expectations these days
to expect a woman to really believe that she is supposed
to be imperfect... as that what being a human being is,
we can encourage women to love themselves as they are whether
they are where they want to be or not.
Seeing
more than physical beauty and reassuring a woman that she
is beautiful to you is important. However, a woman must
take responsibility for her own insecurities, surround herself
with supportive people, including her partner and if she
needs help through therapy for improved body image she should
seek it.

Experiencing
performance anxiety.
It
is near impossible to have an orgasm if that is all you
are focused on. The whole point of having an orgasm is not
to achieve it, but to have pleasure. It defeats the whole
point if a woman stresses herself out focusing on the end
result instead of enjoying the ride. Having an orgasm is
an involuntary response... it would be like trying to sweat
on demand... you can't! You have to be doing something that
gets your body to respond in that manner and obsessing about
it won't get you there.
What
Can Be Done?
Using
relaxing mood enhancers like scented
candles, relaxing
music, hot baths, and other things that bring you
to the place of surrender is a great way to begin. However,
the main issue here is to make sure that both you and your
partner enjoy your time whether you have an orgasm or not,
and allow for times, when you don't without it being perceived
as a failure. It is not failure when you have enjoyed yourself.
Sometimes it is all right just to have a snack rather than
a full meal. So enjoy the moment, allow yourself to be creative,
relaxed and focus on pleasure... not performance.

Has
emotional or physical trauma that creates psychological
blocks.
One
out of every six American women have been the victims of
an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. In some
countries that statistic is even higher. With such a high
rate of rape or assault whether as a child or adult... women
are struggling with such issues everywhere. The stigma,
shame and anger that female victims feel is not their problem
to deal with alone; it is our world's problem. It is the
responsibility of all to ensure that a safe and nurturing
environment be provided to everyone, and that anyone who
has been raped or assaulted be treated with respect, compassion
and love.
What
Can Be Done?
There
are many ways that one can deal with such issues, below
is a link to an article with resources that you may find
helpful on the subject. Again, a woman must take responsibility
for her own issues, surround herself with supportive people,
including her partner and if she needs professional support,
she should seek it.

Has
physical complications that prevent orgasm.
All
women should be able to have an orgasm, however some woman
may find that usage of birth control pills, antidepressants
or an injury or illness is inhibiting her sex drive and
response.
What
Can Be Done?
If
there is suspicion that it could be a physical issue, such
as nerve damage or other complication from an injury or
illness, she should speak with her OBGYN about it to better
understand the physical aspects and treatment options.

Is
uneducated about her own body and does not know how to reach
orgasm.
You
probably would not believe the mass number of questions
that we get from confused men and women about their sexuality.
From basic physical responses to ethical approaches to sexuality,
we have heard it all. Ultimately we all have to take responsibility
and understand that when it comes to our health, including
our sexual health, we can only be empowered through education.
What
Can Be Done?
Learn
from our site, read sex
education books, watch better
sex videos, communicate with your partner and experiment
through masturbation to better know how your own body reacts
before experimenting with a partner.

Is
afraid to tell their partner how to give them an orgasm.
It
never fails to amaze me how often women feel embarrassed
to tell their partner what rocks their world. The fear often
comes with the concern that her partner will mistake her
for bossy, or that she will be perceived as implying that
her lover is a poor one.
What
Can Be Done?
We
all need to understand that unless we communicate our needs,
we get what we settle for... we must take responsibility
by being true to ourselves and expressing what is enjoyable
to us. If we don't look out for ourselves when it comes
to nurturing ourselves and keeping our best interests in
mind... who will?
It is important to convey our needs by using proactive statements
that do not insult someone or disrespect them, while letting
someone know what we desire. Saying something like- "You
know what I would love to try," or "The other
night when you were doing ___, I was so turned on, can you
do that while doing ___, because I think I will explode
in ecstasy!" These statements allow a lover to receive
direction without feeling criticized or compared to a former
lover.

Thinks
sexual gratification is dirty and wrong for herself, or
struggles with general feelings of shame and guilt.
Well,
thanks to a few uptight religious right folks, we have Puritan
values that simply don't respect the fact that we are beautiful,
whole beings that have a normal and natural sexual nature
that should be honored.
What
Can Be Done?
It is certainly challenging to overcome such oppressive
views, even when we know they are incorrect. Using things
like behavior modification techniques, openly discussing
our inhibitions with a trusted companion and even working
on such issues through such healing modalities as Gestalt
therapy, acupuncture, massage, sex therapy and other opportunities
can be a great healing journey!

Feels
her partner's needs sexually and psychologically are more
important than her own.
Women
are often taught that their needs should come last and that
her partner, her children, her career, etc. should all come
before her. Problem with this is that a woman will begin
to become depleted and then often struggle with feeling
like she is struggling to find the energy to be sexual.
Remember the passion in the beginning of a relationship?
If you don't nurture yourself in addition to the relationship
(including your sexual needs) your passion will undoubtedly
fizzle.
What
Can Be Done?
Say you have a pitcher of water and you keep serving everyone
else without taking some for yourself... let me assure you
that you won't be able won't be able to keep serving others
well. It is important to put yourself first so that you
can put the energy that you desire back into your life.
Doing things that rejuvenate your spirit are key and should
be done on a regular basis that are through appointments
that you simply don't break.
Communicate your sexual needs and make sure you have your
own sexual adventures through masturbation as well as having
your partner try new techniques and toys on you! The most
beautiful and evolved people are people who really live
life, not those who are slaves to it or their inhibitions.

The
relationship is struggling with emotional conflicts and
is playing out in the bedroom.
Sexuality
will most often be affected when a relationship is struggling.
From poor sexual performance to lack of desire, many women
struggle to enjoy or want sex when things are tense outside
of the bedroom.
What
Can Be Done?
Take
care of the conflicts outside of the bedroom, through communication
to first identify the core struggles and then work with
your partner to create solutions. This may include the need
for a book on relationship assistance to seeking out a professional
therapist to assist you in working through conflicts. Once
you address the conflicts outside the bedroom, you can then
address any conflicts that were resulting from it in the
bedroom.

The
desire to have simultaneous orgasm with her partner during
penetration, when only 30% of women climax from g-spot orgasms
alone makes this goal challenging.
Many
women do not realize that it is uncommon for women to orgasm
during intercourse. Many women fear that they are abnormal,
or that if their partner knew that they were not bringing
her to orgasm that they would feel inadequate.
One
gentlemen asked me if it was because of penis size. My reply
surprised him... no, it is the angle. Surprisingly, it is
not as much about the width or length of a penis that makes
for a great g-spot orgasm, it is how much pressure is placed
on the g-spot. This can be affected by how her vagina fits
to his penis (how she is shaped inside and how he is shaped/curved).
It can also be affected though position and knowledge about
stimulating the g-spot.
However,
in regard to penis size... this is a myth... as most g-spot
stimulators are the size of a finger or two and
are highly effective. In fact, most women experience g-spot
orgasms from finger and sex toy stimulation because the
angle and pressure is easier to control!
