Sex is a big part of life, and while it’s needed to keep the human race going, it can also be for fun.
However, it turns out that not everybody is truthful about how much fun they’re actually having.
But before we dive into this, it’s important to remember that sometimes it isn’t about the destination, but about the journey… or so I’ve been told.
Well, according to the New York Post around 46% of women say they regularly fake orgasms with their partner.
And according to NBC News, around 80% of women have admitted to doing it at some point in their life.

But how can you tell if your partner is feigning pleasure or experiencing the real deal?
Self-proclaimed orgasm expert Katie Flowers has shared her insights on this intimate topic, providing key signs to help identify genuine moments of pleasure.
“Don’t underestimate the power of your intuition,” Flowers told the New York Post. “If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your gut instincts to guide you toward genuine moments of pleasure.
According to Flowers, physical cues such as flushed cheeks and subtle bodily responses are more reliable indicators of authenticity than vocal expressions like moaning or screaming, which can be easily faked.
For those who discover their partner is pretending, Flowers offers reassurance: “True intimacy is about connection, not performance. Focus on building a deeper connection with your partner and savoring the shared experience.”
She emphasized the importance of understanding human sexuality, adding: “Knowledge is power, and understanding the complexities of human sexuality can help you navigate intimate encounters with confidence.”
While faked orgasms are a common phenomenon, there are also rare instances of the opposite extreme. Liz, a woman who appeared on a 2014 episode of TLC’s Sex Sent Me to the ER, shared her extraordinary experience of a “never-ending” orgasm.
After having sex with her partner Eric, Liz found herself trapped in a prolonged orgasmic state. Describing the ordeal as “physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing,” Liz said she tried everything from drinking red wine to taking antihistamines in a desperate attempt to stop the sensation.
Eric eventually convinced Liz to seek medical attention, and the couple shared their unusual predicament with the hospital staff.

“Until you actually experience it, you can’t understand,” Liz said. “I had to call in and tell my boss that I wasn’t feeling very well. I ended up calling every medical professional I’ve ever seen in my life to try and get somebody to give me an answer!”
After several hours, Liz’s symptoms subsided, but the relief was short-lived. She began experiencing random, spontaneous orgasms without any stimulation.
Liz ultimately found a solution with anti-seizure medication, which helps her manage the condition.
