Why Do Women Fake Having Orgasms?

I thought I knew a lot about the female orgasm, but after having sex expert Emily Nagoski come by the show, I realized how much more there was to it! Emily has been writing and educating about sex for 20 years, and has taken special interest in helping women achieve more pleasure, more often, and more confidently. She has a bestselling new book out called Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life, and we covered all the bases in our chat together.

Is Faking A Thing Of The Past?

With the rising women's rights and feminist movements, I had to ask - is faking an orgasm a thing of the past? The answer surprised me quite a bit. Emily mentions that, in a twist of irony, the liberation of women has actually put more pressure on many of them to perform at high levels, whether that's in the classroom, the workplace, or the bedroom. Women today can be highly self-critical, measuring themselves to these standards.
