The orgasm. All girls have faked it one time or another. When my friends and I were sitting in the dining hall the other day, we realized that we all have it down to an exact science.
You begin with heightened moaning sounds, harder kissing and transitions to heavy breathing in his ear (if your positioning makes this at all possible), . At your “climax” you’ve got the gripping, of the sheets and of his back and arms (don’t be afraid to use nails), you wrap your legs around him (again, if the positioning is conducive) you close your eyes tight and bite your lip. All this combines and you scream out his name. (If you get it right, I hear it really turns them on, if you say the wrong one, you’re screwed…haha screwed).
With a performance this convincing, I don’t blame guys for not being able to tell the difference. We’re good — very good. We could be thinking about all the shit we have to do the next day, or looking around at posters on the walls and you’d never know from our stellar performances.
The dictionary defines “orgasm,” also known as a “sexual climax,“ as a pleasurable physical, psychological or emotional response to prolonged sexual stimulation. It is often accompanied by a notable physiological reaction, such as ejaculation, blushing or spasm, and it may be followed by aftershocks (haha, aftershocks). Biologically it‘s why we, human beings, ever even bothered with sex in the first place, if it feels good, we’ll do it and make babies and allow our species to live on through the ages.
The thing with orgasms, though, is that unlike guys who can cum without fail — eventually, a chick cannot as easily. In a poll I took among my friends, the average of faking it to really actually having one is about 70 to 30 respectively. I know, shocking for the fellas, annoying as hell for the ladies. Sex without an orgasm is like running a marathon without breaking through the ribbon (haha, breaking through the ribbon), the satisfaction is just not there. Don’t get me wrong, sex can be fine without the climax, but it’s just not the same and it’s a lot of work and acting that does nothing but makes the guy feel like hot shit. Whoop dee do.
A woman’s sexual response system is a lot more complicated than a guy’s. Our “stuff” is actually not that sensitive (psst, go for the clitoris…oh, God… I‘m not mature enough for this article). Females can climax in a lot of different ways and before guys start poking around down there; I think they should take the time to figure out what makes their girl happy. We’re complicated, guys, and we don’t even understand our own bodies half the time. You gotta work with us, you won’t be sorry.
