This article talks about why some women fake or**sms. Dr Tara Suwinyattichaip**n says there should be no shame around it, and that faking can come from insecurity, people-pleasing, and being socialised to protect a partner’s feelings.
She also warns that repeated faking can create a negative s*xual response loop: the partner thinks something is working, keeps doing it, and the person faking becomes more dissatisfied. Her advice is to learn your body, explore self-pleasure, ask for what you need, and suggest what to try next time.
None of this is wrong. But it is also not new. And it is still incomplete.
Sometimes people fake or**sm because they have had enough. The s*x has gone on too long. It is uncomfortable, boring, painful, or emotionally unsafe. They may have already tried to communicate — by slowing down, redirecting, saying “not like that”, going quiet, tensing up, or trying to end it — and the partner ignored it, missed it, or pushed through.
So no, it is not always just people-pleasing or poor communication. Sometimes the fake or**sm is the fastest way out.
A partner should not need a fake or**sm as a stop signal. They need to listen, notice, pause, adjust, and stop making s*x about their ego or performance.
Better s*x is not only about teaching people to speak up. It is also about teaching partners to hear, respect, and respond.
Because sometimes the performance is not pleasure. It is escape.
If this is showing up in your relationship or s*x life, you do not have to keep guessing, performing, or building resentment. Work with me or my team at Eros Coaching
