Is she faking it in bed?

Arts filler image

Is it really possible for a woman to have orgasm without respiration acceleration, no anal contractions, no hard nipples, no transpiration at all and no vaginal contractions at all? Or is it just a fake?


Yes, it’s possible! There are all kinds of different ways that orgasm plays out, and a woman’s orgasm cannot always be seen from her partner’s 
perspective.

Just because you or she cannot feel contractions around the vagina or anus does not mean that there aren’t any. Some women describe very mild orgasms and other times women have very “big” experiences of orgasm.

It does not mean that one is better or worse than the other, they are just different.
