In this week’s Wise Guys feature Em & Lo pass along the question do men ever fake orgasm. They get three answers, all different, all interesting — from a straight single man (“of course!”), a straight married man (“I have personally only faked once.”) and a committed gay man (“If guys fake orgasms, then I ‘d love to know how.”) Read their answers in full here.

My take is it’s actually easier than it sounds. Even easier when there’s lots of lube. And even easier than that when you’re wearing a condom. (You can just say “oops, gotta get this off before it leaks” and scamper to the bathroom.) Back in the old pre-web days a popular Usenet poster also said it was easier than you’d think if a partner was deep-throating him.

And you might wonder how, if one was being deep throated, one would need to fake it. One answer would be if you’ve had too many orgasms recently but you still really like sex. Another would be that you’re taking those #%!$% SSR anti-depressants where you can’t come to save your life, where sex still feels really, really good, and where your partner nevertheless feels bad/inhibited/inadequate/uninterested if you’re not going to have one. There are other less cheery reasons as well (untreated depression, for instance) but those will do.
