When guys give women orgasms, they feel a sense of pride that is almost as good for them as it is for you when it happens. As a result, if you’re faking it, it not only hurts you–because, hello, he’s not going to know how to really give you an orgasm if you keep pretending to do it if his skills need honing–but it also hurts him. Because a lot of guys can actually tell when you’re faking an orgasm, and there’s nothing you can really do about it to trick them.

How’s that, you ask?

Well, your body is a pretty miraculous lil’ machine, and it does a lot of stuff you can’t control when you have an orgasm. (That’s part of why when you do have an actual orgasm, you will feel slightly, well, out of control. But in a good way, not the way you’d feel if you drove over black ice or something crazy.) And some guys know what these signs are, and they have nothing to do with porn star moaning. So even if you thought you were doing an A+ job on your fake orgasm, you probably weren’t.

First, your body will be hot. It already looks hot (ow ow!), but you’ll physically feel hot because your body temperature increases when you orgasm. You’ll probably be sweating at least a little bit, too.

Another sign? Your muscles all over tend to spasm. Savvy guys will know to look towards your abdomen to see if this is happening in order to tell if you’re really having an orgasm or just trying to get everything over with.

And the biggest one? If a guy is down there and has anything inside your vagina–be it his penis or his fingers–he’ll be able to physically feel you having an orgasm, because your vaginal muscles will contract and spasm really rapidly. If you think you can replicate that by just clenching them yourself, you can’t! During an orgasm, it happens super rapidly, and the sensation is a lot different.

The lesson here? Never fake an orgasm to save a guy’s ego. Instead, show him what would work better and put him to work, because there ain’t nothin’ like the real thing.
