Should you ever fake an orgasm?

Many women have admitted to faking an orgasm at least once in their life – whether it be with a one-night stand or in a long-term relationship.

According to a recent study by the, it’s either to protect the man’s feelings, because they feel insecure, to make it end quicker, or to bring on an actual orgasm.

The final reason may seem baffling, but according to expect Tracey Cox, the very act of faking it can actually help the path to a real one.

In scientific terms, the technique is called “elevated arousal”, which Tracey explains is: "Faking an orgasm to make yourself feel more turned on, based on the theory that if you act out the thing you want to happen, sometimes it will."

However, Tracey does warn that it’s best not to get into a habit of faking enjoyment at the beginning of a relationship, because then your partner won’t learn what it takes to tip you over the edge.

So make sure your relationship has plenty of communication, and feedback to nudge your partner in the right direction, so that you hopefully won’t find the need to fake it.
