Men Come Forward About Why They’ve Faked Orgasms During Sex

Contrary to popular belief, women aren't the only ones faking it in the bedroom.  Yes, that's right:  Men fake it, too. For some of you, the question might be how. But for most of us, the question is: Why?  Per Reddit, guys reveal the REAL reasons they fake their big O between the sheets.

User “Willie_Main.” "I had a girlfriend with a huge libido. We were also long distance so, when we saw each other, we spent a lot of time in the bedroom. There were a few times where, by the end of our visit, I'd just be completely ‘depleted'. I'd be able to get hard but no amount of any stimulation could get me off. So, yeah, I faked a few times.”

Anonymous. "Yeah I faked it with my ex wife a couple of times because I was really tired and she wanted some action. So I gave her some and then pretended to finish. This didn't happen often but sometimes I think sleep is better than an orgasm. I'm old.”

User “DreadfulRauw.” "Yep. I just wasn't going to finish, and she had already had a couple, so I spasmed, made some noise, then threw out the condom. I was younger then. These days I'd just be honest.”

User “desmone1.” "Yes, Various times. Mostly during oral. Some girls react very negatively to criticism. Much more convenient to get it over with… Well, it is possible to climax and withhold an ejaculation. It's a trick that comes in very handy when otherwise you might have a mess on your hands (pun intended).”

User “capcalhoon.” "After college I broke up with my girlfriend of four years and went on an insane summer quest for self discipline- lost 65 pounds of fat in four months, ran every day, ate a severely restrictive diet, gave up smoking, drugs, beer, everything... including orgasms.

So since I was now much more in shape and single I started fooling around with girls, but would not let myself orgasm. I'd have a condom on, we'd be fooling around, and then I would stop, throw it away, will myself to flaccid, and just make out.

It was an odd summer.”

User “HalfysReddit.” "I did once. I was in high school and legitimately didn't think that my girlfriend and I were going to be having sex that morning (I picked her up on the way to school). So I beat it before I left my house that morning.

Get there, she's turned on and wants a go at it. I agree, the sex is great, but I can't finish. Finally after a while I realized it wasn't going to happen (she had already finished a few times) and I faked it. I'm pretty sure she didn't know.”

User “savoytruffle.” "Not often … maybe only once or twice. But sometimes a stretched out grunt is the easiest option if you're worn out. It's much worse for the ego to roll over and say 'ok that's enough’. I have wondered if she knew the difference. Some women do say they can feel a, shall we say, stream. But that's not for sure anyway.”

User “lookatyourpost.” "Yeah, this girl I was with was just laying there doing absolutely nothing. After a couple of minutes I just whispered in her ear, 'I'm about to climax.' She shook her head and said, 'No, not yet, this feels amazing!' I'm there pumping away with this look of confusion and after a couple of minutes, I just faked it and threw the condom away.”

User “ez_sleazy.” "I tried to once because I have trouble ejaculating when having sex. My gf knew this and so when we finished she wanted to look at the condom and I had to fess up. It was kinda hilariously sad thinking back on it.”

Anonymous. "No I havnt but I have admitted defeat. When we where dating I once had sex for 9 hours straight with my now wife. She made me promise to never go that long again (I was a lot fitter and a lot younger in those days) because she walked bow legged for 3 days. After that, I was told I had untill she got sore at which point I just stop. Kinda backfired because she took it as a personal insult.

Then we got married, had kids and that was how my sex life died!”

User “bKzor.” "Back when I was 22 I had an employe that was really into me. I had a house party it went all night people were passed out everywhere. I was upstairs with another girl that I had been in the friend zone (idiot move) she was backing her ass up to me in bed but was pretending to be asleep. Did not want to play games with her so I ended up going downstairs looking for the girl who had a thing for me. She was on the couch sleeping I got on the couch with her very casual like said 'lets f*ck' and that was that. I put a condom on she jumped up top and was riding me. As we were having sex I slowly sobered up and it was the worst sex of my life, bored sober I just simply said ‘ohhh' got up tossed the condom in the bathroom flushed it, then just went upstairs and went to sleep.”

User “highpur.” "Not fake, but more like artificially extending it. Sometimes my girlfriend takes longer than I to get off (SURPRISE), as well she ges hot n juicy from me c*mming, so I've had to not fake the entire orgasm, but fake its length. What she thinks is a 3 minute orgasm is actually, what I hope, good acting."

User “boolean_sledgehammer.” "There have been a few instances. Mostly when it came to women who were either pathologically insecure in bed, or who simply thought that all they had to do was show up. I have a hard time pretending that I'm enjoying myself when it just isn't happening.”

User “InferiousX.” "Yes. Drank a lot the night before (she woke me up in the morning to have sex with here and it was my first time with her). I was able to get it up, but finishing was going to be a lot of work and I just wanted to go back to sleep so I faked.”

User “carbon based.” "Many many times, but I can only do it with a condom. Reason? After 30 or so minutes if it doesn't happen it isn't going to. Going to the bathroom to clean up right after is the trick, while 'holding the condom on'. Thrusts/breathing/d*ck flexing."
