Latest / The Dr. Psych Mom Show with clinical psychologist Dr. Samantha Rodman Whiten / Why Women Fake Orgasms
Transcript
- 0:06Hi, everybody, and welcome to the dr.
- 0:07Psych mom show today, we're going to be talking about why
- 0:10women fake orgasms who fakes, who gets faked with Etc?
- 0:16And before we do that, I must tell you to subscribe.
- 0:19The most recent subscriber episode was on hand jobs, the
- 0:23answer to, I don't like blow jobs and I don't want to have
- 0:26sex, so you should definitely listen to that.
- 0:30I'm doing a lot more subscriber episodes now that the price is
- 0:34higher. So, That you get, what, you are
- 0:36paying for, and before that. What else did I have?
- 0:41The one right before that was when you were smarter than your
- 0:44spouse. So we got two good ones just in
- 0:47the most recent to, okay. So how many women have probably?
- 0:51I mean, this is not scientific. This is from 14 years in
- 0:55practice, and I think there were statistics, that said something
- 0:58like the majority of women have faked an orgasm, but I would say
- 1:01almost every woman that's been in a sexual relationship has
- 1:04faked an orgasm. One time or another, sometimes
- 1:08it's not the first orgasm so that's like a way that some
- 1:10women do it is they just you know they have a real orgasm so
- 1:13they say Alright good you know, good but he wants me to
- 1:17apparently have more of them. I'm not feeling it but he's a,
- 1:21you know, a great guy. So might as well make him think
- 1:24that this is just, you know, amazing amazing.
- 1:27And you know, have a few more for the fuck of it, right?
- 1:30And so I mean, if we're going by that definition of women who
- 1:34have faked even Your orgasms, and I would say 100 percent of
- 1:39women have done that in their lifetime, you know, I mean,
- 1:42unless we're talking about situations that are very extreme
- 1:46where, like, a woman has literally never had an orgasm
- 1:48and when a woman has never had an orgasm frequently, she
- 1:51doesn't really even know how to fake and doesn't want to fake
- 1:54and is really not that into sex. But in the situation where it's
- 1:58a woman who enjoys sex enjoys being in love and joy as men and
- 2:01Joy's relationships, sometimes you just fake an orgasm.
- 2:05Now, very insecure men on the internet.
- 2:09Say things like, well, this just shows all women are lying
- 2:12bitches and you know, that whole rhetoric that's really makes you
- 2:16always know why they've had trouble with women from the very
- 2:19first comment, but it is not that women are Liars, men.
- 2:24Like, constantly, I mean, your wife wants to watch some fucking
- 2:28TV show, reality TV. I told you to watch reality TV
- 2:32with her. A good man, you're doing it.
- 2:33She says, oh, don't you love it? You say oh yes, sure this was
- 2:37great. This was one I really liked it.
- 2:40You know? Or like she cook something and
- 2:43it's terrible. You say it's good or she comes
- 2:46down and some lingerie that she's really trying to you know,
- 2:49impress you with. And it looks like something that
- 2:51you know her own mother you could picture wearing, you know,
- 2:55currently as an elderly person but you say yes, sure.
- 2:58You look hot. Wow.
- 3:01You know, I mean people do this. It's not like how about your kid
- 3:05comes to Like a picture. You're like, wow, that's really
- 3:08great. That's a, that's a deer, like
- 3:11elephant. You're like, that's exactly what
- 3:13I was gonna say. It looks like shit, right?
- 3:15It looks like it. Nothing does not look like an
- 3:16elephant and you say yes, that is the best elephant that I've
- 3:20ever seen. Okay.
- 3:21So yes of course I even have an article stop feeding your child
- 3:26fake praise. So if all the time they do
- 3:28scribble Scrabble and you say that they're you know, Van Gogh
- 3:31then you're setting them up to be a huge narcissist but
- 3:34sometimes If it's like your Father's Day present and they've
- 3:37worked hard on it and it just, you know, they just really does
- 3:40not look like an elephant at all.
- 3:42Then you will say great, elephant, and that just means
- 3:44that you're a good guy, right? Means that you're not an asshole
- 3:48and so your wife, sometimes you're trying very hard in bed.
- 3:51She's nowhere near close to anything, you know, but you are
- 3:55trying valiantly. She's really not in the mood.
- 3:58She's about to get her period in a couple of days.
- 4:00She is thinking about the grocery.
- 4:02She's thinking about, oh, and by the way, you could be like a man
- 4:05Careful lover, and you could go to the gym, eight days a week
- 4:09and she'll still be thinking about the groceries, when she's
- 4:11not at her right time in the cycle to enjoy herself.
- 4:15You know? I mean that just is what it is.
- 4:16Like it's extraordinarily narcissistic and delusional for
- 4:19a man to think that there is some level of good lover that he
- 4:22could be within a marriage. That would mean that a woman
- 4:25never took her mind off of him. This is like the guys that think
- 4:28that you shouldn't think about somebody else.
- 4:29If she didn't think about somebody else.
- 4:31Believe me she'd have to fake a lot more because just normal for
- 4:34a woman to I have to have a fantasy going on because as I
- 4:37told you evolutionarily, every time she ovulates you supposed
- 4:40to think about a different she's supposed to sleep with a
- 4:42different guy. So in lieu of that, some women
- 4:45think about a whole different scenario.
- 4:47May involve you. It may not, sometimes it doesn't
- 4:49even involve your gender. You know what they did?
- 4:52It could be anything. So, the point is, people are
- 4:55allowed to have their thoughts. People are allowed to have
- 4:58private brains and sometimes, you know, it just doesn't go
- 5:02along with what the couple is experiencing.
- 5:05Were those private thoughts to be made public?
- 5:08So if so how about this, once your birthday, let's say and she
- 5:12is definitely not going to orgasm because she is a day away
- 5:17from her period. She's in the dearth of the Low
- 5:20Valley, the nadir rather of her cycle and also your kid just got
- 5:26you just got called from the school that your kids acted like
- 5:29a sociopath in some way or another, you know.
- 5:32And so she's thinking about that, you know, as Little Johnny
- 5:35Going to grow up to be a serial killer, but it's your birthday
- 5:38and she's really trying to give you a very good time and she's
- 5:41put on the lingerie you asked her to put on and she gave you a
- 5:45blowjob to and everything. Now it's up for the sex part.
- 5:48Do you think that she shouldn't fake?
- 5:50I mean, I think she should fake you, you do.
- 5:53And I'm somebody who thinks that she usually shouldn't fake and
- 5:56I'll get to that too. But I think in that situation it
- 5:59would be extremely pro-social if she knows she's not going to but
- 6:03you know what? It's within the Civil love life,
- 6:06where you do know how to give her an orgasm and you're a good
- 6:09guy. And you know what about this
- 6:11one? What if you were on death row
- 6:13and you got that one more fuck. Then should she fake?
- 6:17She's worried about you dying. She loves you.
- 6:19She's not gonna have an orgasm unless you just gets off on
- 6:22death. So should she faked if you were
- 6:24on death row, many more people will say yes with all of these
- 6:28examples. So, you know, that's how she
- 6:31thinks about it. She's a nice person.
- 6:33She doesn't want to show you up. She doesn't want you.
- 6:35To feel like a bad lover. She doesn't want you to sulk and
- 6:39I'll get to that in a second. So she tries to take one for the
- 6:42team and do a lot of moaning and moving around.
- 6:45Is she faking per say? Oh, we don't know but you know,
- 6:49she is kind of leaving it. Open to interpretation.
- 6:53If you so desire, many women, if you then ask them, did you come?
- 6:57They'll be like, well, no honey. But you know, I wasn't really
- 7:00going to be in the mood to do that.
- 7:01That wasn't really gonna be possible but they will have.
- 7:04But if you don't ask And you could think that they did
- 7:07because like some men who think that they're smart is my
- 7:10favorite, they're like, but there's contractions.
- 7:13You think a woman doesn't know how to move her own vagina.
- 7:16It's like you know, it's like wiggling your ears but except
- 7:19everybody can do it. You know, when everybody can't
- 7:21wiggle their ears. So if a woman wants to make you
- 7:23think that she came and, or if she wants to hasten your own
- 7:27orgasm, she could certainly contract her own vagina.
- 7:30I mean, it's part of her body, so that should settle that
- 7:33debate. But okay, so which kind of men,
- 7:37get faked with, or on more than others.
- 7:41The ones that are sulky and difficult and oversensitive.
- 7:44Because if, if, when she tells you that she doesn't necessarily
- 7:47like the way that you mowed the lawn, you got a problem about
- 7:50it. And the problem last for
- 7:52eternity, then how she going to tell you that you don't know how
- 7:55to make her come. I mean shit that's going to make
- 7:57you she's going to be dealing with the ramifications of that
- 7:59shit, show for the rest of her life, you know?
- 8:02So if you want to be and I have a whole podcast on this if you
- 8:05want. Don't be the guy that gets
- 8:06genuine performance feedback from your wife, just type in
- 8:09feedback to get to this one. Then you got to be open-minded
- 8:13willingness to accept feedback, coachable in all aspects.
- 8:18Not just in bed, right? If you are perceived as somebody
- 8:22difficult or argumentative. I mean, there's some guys who
- 8:25actually try to out argue that they are good lovers to their
- 8:30own wife, who is saying that they're not.
- 8:32So like they literally literally will say Well, no, that is
- 8:36supposed to get you off, literally, like, they'll say
- 8:39that to the woman, I have read about this.
- 8:41And that is what foreplay is supposed to be like, and that is
- 8:44what supposed to get you off of the woman saying it doesn't.
- 8:46So if you are a guy who's extremely rigid, if you're one
- 8:49of these guys that gets on my page and trolls, all, you know,
- 8:52internet trolling, you know, and only believes that, you know,
- 8:56that, you know, they are always right and they are somewhere
- 9:00above God and their love in their ability to assess and into
- 9:04it, you know, All situations and always have unfailingly good
- 9:08judgment. And if a woman says that you
- 9:09don't, then you basically have a panic attack about it.
- 9:13Then you're always going to get women faking orgasms always
- 9:16because they don't want to deal with you.
- 9:18You know, you're getting women with low self-esteem to begin
- 9:21with, because that's the only women that will put up with you
- 9:23and within that they certainly don't even want to make you mad.
- 9:25You know, at all they have low self-esteem, they don't want you
- 9:29to get mad at them and tell them that they're wrong somehow or
- 9:31that they caused it or something.
- 9:33So they just fake and everybody's Happy from their
- 9:36perspective, except they're not really happy because they're
- 9:38still partnered with an asshole, but, you know, you're a happy at
- 9:40least as happy as you get, because you are the asshole.
- 9:43So either way, but who else gets what kind of women now, jumping
- 9:49from that fake people Pleasers fake much more than average
- 9:53Young Women fake more than average because they don't
- 9:55really know what the hell they're supposed to be
- 9:57experiencing anyway quite yet, you know.
- 9:59So whatever young women of this current generation seem to fake
- 10:04out of my clients, Or why? Because they've been exposed to
- 10:07porn. So they know what a fake looks
- 10:09like. So women in my generation and
- 10:12again, I'm 42 don't really look at porn that much maybe as an
- 10:16adult but certainly not when you were like 16 years old.
- 10:19Like I'd like dial-up internet, you know, and I was a girl like
- 10:23it just wasn't a thing. But most men obviously that are
- 10:2742 of you know consumed an incredible amount of internet
- 10:31pornography but not so much the women, but the women in their
- 10:3420s now They have and their boyfriends of wanted them to and
- 10:37they've been interested on their own because they have its high
- 10:39sex drive their 20s. So a lot of women will look at
- 10:42it and then they're like, oh I guess that's what I'm supposed
- 10:45to act like. So some of them are faking
- 10:47without even knowing that they're faking because they just
- 10:49think that when a woman is having sex she's supposed to act
- 10:51like she's being impaled, you know by the Vikings.
- 10:54And so she just tries to do that because you know, you want to be
- 10:57on Trend you want to do what you're supposed to do.
- 10:59So anyway, so who else? Well, as I said it's women who
- 11:04are people Pleasers Men who are partnered with sulky or
- 11:07difficult men. It's also women that don't have
- 11:10a sex drive anymore because of menopause or because of
- 11:14antidepressants, or because they are nursing or because of, you
- 11:18know, Myriad medications, they could be on besides
- 11:21antidepressants or because they were depressed, that one gets
- 11:25you coming and going if you're depressed, you can't.
- 11:26And then if you're on antidepressants, you can't.
- 11:28But anyway, if they just can't have an orgasm anymore, then
- 11:31they don't want the guide to just be completely demoralized.
- 11:35And so, then they fake. And remember, there's different
- 11:38ways to fake one is, like a sin of omission, right?
- 11:41You just don't mention that you didn't come, but your body
- 11:43language indicates, you might have, you know, so that, you
- 11:46know, it's kind of Choose Your Own Adventure.
- 11:47The guy could go down the rabbit hole of actually asking you or
- 11:50if he's having a pretty good day overall he could just decide to
- 11:53just let that lie and who no pun intended and not really ask and
- 11:59you know no harm, no foul don't ask, don't tell, but you know.
- 12:03And then there's literally women that are like Oh baby.
- 12:05That was the best and convey by that, that they did,
- 12:09specifically definitely have an orgasm.
- 12:12And again, there's really no distinction, except the level of
- 12:15people, pleasing or the level of how difficult you are, or the
- 12:18level at, which they were, never going to have an orgasm in that
- 12:20encounter for whatever reasons, possibly do to you not being a
- 12:24good lover, and possibly due to them, not having a libido or
- 12:27both both would be the worst. Now if you're a woman listening
- 12:31to this, should you fake orgasms?
- 12:33Then I'm saying it's totally normal.
- 12:34Totally. Chiral.
- 12:35Well, you know, no, of course not.
- 12:38You know, lying people do constantly, it's completely
- 12:41normative to lie but you shouldn't, you know, that's not
- 12:46ethical. And in this case, it's not
- 12:47ethical to lie. Despite I see why you do it.
- 12:51And that's what I'm pointing out.
- 12:52But it also makes him a worse lover overall and he never gets
- 12:57used to getting any feedback. So yeah, he may be an asshole
- 13:01after he gets feedback but you're also allowed to point
- 13:03that out, like you're allowed. To say, you know, I didn't come
- 13:07and maybe next time you could use your hand more and if he's
- 13:10like, what do you mean, like, go out where I've read that book,
- 13:14you know, come as you are and it was talking all about me going
- 13:17down on you. And, you know what, like a lot
- 13:18of women would want that lot of women want guy to go down on
- 13:21them. Well, first of all, that means
- 13:23he has not listened to my oral sex on women podcast which
- 13:25explicitly delineates that many women do not.
- 13:28But also, that's when you say, hey when you respond in a
- 13:32defensive way, it means I'm less likely To be honest, I don't
- 13:36want us to have a relationship where we lie.
- 13:38I'd like to be able to tell you that, I need something in bed
- 13:42and you to respond in a way that is collaborative and
- 13:46team-oriented. You know, instead of being a
- 13:48douchebag about it and he, well, may continue to be an asshole
- 13:53for that night, but the next day, he may be nice about it or
- 13:56he may at least incrementally have become more willing to
- 14:00accept feedback and you didn't lie.
- 14:02And at least he's not going to think that him going down.
- 14:05You is the be-all end-all of your life anymore, which is
- 14:08probably fairly irritating in and of itself if you are in that
- 14:10sort of situation. So also also, if you fake, then
- 14:17he comes quicker and everything goes according to plan, right?
- 14:20But he also gets more and more lazy because he thinks that like
- 14:24forget about the extra stuff. Some of these guys think that
- 14:27then just penetration, is leading to orgasm, he becomes
- 14:31super lazy. Your entire encounter ends up
- 14:33being five minutes in which somehow Now, he's convinced
- 14:36himself that you can come and you've colluded in this
- 14:39deception, you know, again you're not a terrible person.
- 14:42I see why you do it. But, you know, now, he thinks
- 14:45that you are one of those poor and women that can get off in
- 14:48like less than five minutes from intercourse.
- 14:50How's that helping, anybody? He's getting even worse in bet.
- 14:53So he's worse than accepting feedback because he's not
- 14:55practicing. And he's worse in bed because he
- 14:57thinks some superstitious shit about how.
- 15:00You know, his penis is like giving you an orgasm through
- 15:04Magic. Go through like 5 minutes of
- 15:07penetrative sex. It's like not going to happen
- 15:10with no foreplay. So you're also allowing him to
- 15:13be an idiot and when we love people we don't want them to be
- 15:16idiots. We want them to be their best
- 15:18self. So to you know to summarize here
- 15:22men lie about things to make women feel good.
- 15:25Women lie about things to make men feel good lies tend to be
- 15:29well intentioned when they are within a loving marriage
- 15:32frequently, but they always have ramifications.
- 15:35Haitians. And in this specific case, the
- 15:37ramification is that over time, the man gets both worse at
- 15:41accepting feedback and he gets worse in bed, and the woman get
- 15:46is much less likely to enjoy herself.
- 15:48So therefore she's less likely to want sex, which overall, then
- 15:52leaves the man. Very surprised because he
- 15:54thought that, you know, she was coming all over the place.
- 15:57And so why the hell wouldn't she want sex?
- 15:59Well, because she wasn't, you know?
- 16:01And so if you are in the situation that you have been,
- 16:04you know, Making every you know, half your encounters or you know
- 16:08a third or whatever. Why not just stop you know stop
- 16:11and try to get him to do more of the things that you like.
- 16:15And if he is sulky, remember I said, what to say is I really
- 16:19don't want us to be in a relationship where I have to
- 16:22walk on eggshells around you. You know, I this is, you know,
- 16:26difficult for me to say, don't want to be awkward, but I also
- 16:29want to enjoy myself more and this is how we could do it, you
- 16:34know, it sounds. Like a difficult conversation.
- 16:36But, you know, it's really over and like, you know, like what
- 16:39like, what's how long that take? Like 10 seconds.
- 16:41You know, you say that. And then you said it and then
- 16:45you guys can potentially work on things.
- 16:48And if you can't, of course, you could reach out to couples
- 16:50counselors. I have an intimacy coach Heather
- 16:53but you know me but but there's people who could help.
- 16:56But in addition you gotta give somebody a chance to even know
- 17:00that what you're doing is not, you know, that what they're
- 17:03doing is not work, all right. I hope this clears up that women
- 17:06are not diabolical lying bitches and they are well intentioned as
- 17:11are the men. Who say, oh yes, honey.
- 17:13That was the best dinner I've ever had.
- 17:16Everybody's trying to be a good partner in this situation.
- 17:19So, you know, I mean, it is what it is.
- 17:21You got to understand that lying is not a gender-based
- 17:26characteristic. There are good and bad reasons,
- 17:29but net net. It is not good long-term for the
- 17:32relationship and I hope that that was very useful.
- 17:35Full for you guys and I'll talk to you soon.
- 17:37Have a great day.
