Women fake orgasms for many reasons. Most men assume it’s because they weren’t good at what they were doing. The truth is, most often a woman will fake it to help her guy out when it just isn’t going to happen. While you won’t have any clear way of knowing for certain if her orgasm is real, here are a few things you can do to tell.

Penetration Only

The vast majority of women can’t orgasm with just penetration. The clit is the powerhouse of the female genitalia. There are some women who can come with vaginal penetration, but this number is relatively low. The point is, if she is having an orgasm and there has been no clitoral stimulation, it’s a pretty good bet it’s not real. You can avoid this by making sure you are in positions where one of you can reach her clit. Be gentle with it, it has more nerve endings than the head of a penis and too much pressure can be painful.

Why Women Fake It

Most guys assume that a woman fakes an orgasm just to end a bad sexual experience. This is rarely the case, although women will do this sometimes. More often than not a woman will fake it because something is just not working. It’s not as easy for a woman to get off as it is for a man. Most women won’t even experience their first orgasm until their mid 20s, so if your partner is younger she may fake it for your benefit. Don’t assume that a faked orgasm is a bad thing.
