Julie GersteinNovember 16, 2010 //

Ever since “When Harry Met Sally,” faking orgasms has been considered a totally female thing. After all, why would a guy fake an orgasm? And how?

Wendy AtterberryOctober 10, 2008 //

Everyone knows (we hope) that it’s probably not the best idea to fake it in bed. There are exceptions, of course, as in God, can we just get this over with before “Mad Men” starts? But in general, faking an orgasm just reinforces and encourages behavior that simply isn’t getting the job done. There are, however, times in a woman’s life when it’s perfectly acceptable — maybe even necessary for her emotional well-being — to fake it. For example, it’s okay to fake it when…check the list, after the jump! Keep reading »
