No faking the big-O Scientists see women's brains switch off during sex (article on the UK Register).

Male monkeys - are you going to run out and get a brain scanner? In my opinion, faking is positive reinforcement for the wrong behavior. Seriously now, does any monkey really want to know that he has been bamboozled?? *This news is a few days old, hope it was not already posted by another monkey. I did try searching old posts.

  • My ladies never have to fake it.
  • "when the women were experiencing a genuine humdinger of an orgasm, areas of the brain governing fear and emotion, such as the cortex, were deactivated" Ergo, love is irrelevant (and probably a hindrance) to getting one's jollies. Think of England, dear.
  • I have faked orgasm before. I have orgasmed into a condom and, being the product of Catholic upbringing, was able to do so without making a sound. I still had an erection and she seemed to still be enjoying herself, so I labored on. After several more minutes I realized that my eternal erection was not going to remain eternal much longer. I knew that if I suddenly went limp that she would need therapy, so I decided that the best way out would be to fake the orgasm so that I could have an acceptable reason to stop having sex. So I did.
  • It's easier to have an orgasm if you're wearing socks, apparently (he said, trying not to react to bernockle's startlingly detailed info).
  • Of course. What do women look for in a man (besides money, a big trouser weasel and at least a few working neurons)? To get rid of cold feet. Warm socks = half the battle is won. One less thing to carry about. "Men find it more important to be stimulated on the penis than women find it to be stimulated on the clitoris,"... Now, I'm confused.
  • carry worry.
  • Because women can have vaginal orgasms as well as clitoral, plus the whole G-spot thing.
  • being the product of Catholic upbringing, was able to do so without making a sound. Don't know what specific branch you belong to, bern, but I'll just say a couple incidents with staunch catholics in the past were, eh, anything but quiet. Hallelujah, indeed.
  • Well, it kind of makes sense to me, seeing as how the female orgasm tends to take over our entire bodies. I have had orgasms that have left my entire body numb, left me almost completely deaf for at least five minutes, and literally unable to move. Once in a while, they have been so intense as to leave me feeling nauseous for a short time. I can guarantee my brain switches off during sex--to the point of not caring if I get caught (which has happened a couple of times).
  • Please don't talk about sex here. It's naughty, and I don't do it ever.
  • Personally, I don't think I could even fake it. Too much effort. I can't believe the sock study, but I guess I'll have to do my own experiments. Good job, Chyren, for the extra research.
  • Scientists see women's brains switch off during sex... Gee, they usually have to switch off BEFORE having sex with me. I'd throw in a 'RIMSHOT', but I'm afraid you'd misinterpret it.
  • It's easier to have an orgasm if you're wearing socks Oh, that's why you're constantly searching for more socks.
  • Faking orgasm is its own punishment.
  • So, Darshon...does your partner have a brother?
  • Does this explain the disappearing socks mystery during laundry time?
  • It might be a little cramped fucking in the CT scanner. Wouldn't it just be easier to ask her?
  • Without socks, there is no satisfaction!
  • So that's where I'm going wrong, trying to get my socks off...
  • I have had orgasms that have left my entire body numb, left me almost completely deaf for at least five minutes, and literally unable to move. ... but I sure you'll do just fine dear, no pressure at all. :)
  • It's the motion of the ocean! That's what my wife says! It's the motion of the ocean!
  • I once had to fake an orgasm just to make they guy stop. He wouldn't let up until I'd made a whole lot of ridiculous moaning noises. Idiot.
  • they = the
  • hehehe
  • Dirty ticket.
  • My poor gay roommate was in the next room, and could hear everything. We had a good laugh once I kicked the twit to the curb.
  • I've actually done the exact same thing as bernockle. But I was just reeeeeeaaaaaaaally tired, and just wanted to go to sleep. The lady involved actually asked me if I orgasmed or not. Sensing an opportunity, I asked "well, what do YOU think?" "I don't know, you're just so expressive the entire time..." In that case, yes. Yes I did. Now just let me throw this out, aaaaaaand goodnight.
  • You got that right, Koko. Sometimes it's the only resource to finish off the males and get them out of your hair, so to speak. But I never understood men faking it. It's not as if it isn't obvious, when faked. /after the fact, that is.
  • A sock and sex joke only SpaceKitty will get: FOOM!!
  • FOOOOOOOM! *collapses in a fit of giggles*
  • Now, now- share the joke with the whole class or take it outside, dearies.
  • Oh, all right. ;) One year my ex and I were celebrating (wink, wink, nudge-nudge) New Years, only to be interrupted by a news anchor on CNN insisting that the festivities in Times Square would "Literally knock your socks off!" Which rather - uh - spoiled the moment when me and the man fell apart laughing. Of course I told Kimberly about it at the next happy hour, and the 'sound of socks literally being knocked off your feet', aka, FOOOOOOM!!!!! was born. Thus ends the story that is much, much funnier told in person
  • Experiment 402 Hyphotesis: "Is it truly easier to have an orgasm if you're wearing socks?" Subjects: A: male human (researcher) B: female human (researcher's close acquaintance) Male, already fond of socks and pajamas, brings a brand-new, all-cotton pair of fluffy socks to meeting with subject B. In what might have been detrimental to the experiment's outcome, subject A doesn't mention prop for experiment until both are already entangled in activities precluding sexual intercourse. Subject B responds first in amused, then puzzled, lastly aggressive manner to A's plea for wearing of cotton socks. A's poor communication skills fail to make clear the purely scientific goal of the experiment. Lenghty questioning ensues, accusations of possible deviations and hurtful comments ("I've had enough of that plushy rabbit costume head, and now this?!?!") cause both subjects to lose interest in further coital advances. Another factor in experiment's failure might have been a poorly chosen climate; subject B is usually prone to low skin temperature in lower appendages, which was taken for granted by A, who failed to consider current wind chill factor of zero. Investigation won't advance until a better suited, properly informed and motivated subject is procured, or B's animosity towards researcher is quelled.
  • The law takes a dim view of those who harrass potential partners by stocking.
  • Flagpole - don't think so. Female cold feet and hot man comprise one of the greatest bonding events. A hyper-thermal male and some frozen female tootsies, well, lemme say, socks won't cure the problem, it takes flesh.
  • *sigh* I do wish all of you would toe the line and discuss this seriously. I'm trying to learn something here.
  • ...a brand-new, all-cotton pair of fluffy socks... What, no man slippers?
  • Are latex toe socks available, actually? Those, along with a strap on cephalopod or two, and some Hummus Molé (Olé) would certainly make for an intriguing evening.
  • You disgusting pre-vert!
  • Is that why men in porn always leave their socks on, rendering them both ridiculous but 'ready to pop' at the same time? Er.. so I've heard, never actually having seen any porn, you understand...
  • Poor depraved deprived kitfisto.
