I'll have what s/he's having!

Pseudoscience of Love - faking orgasms and relationshipsSome guys get upset and feel inadequate if they find out their women do a "Sally". Other guys are delighted that they can stop twiddling around down there and go to sleep! Well, it's bad news for the former, I'm afraid and good news for the latter!

I've actually taken some female advice on this matter (albeit a very small sample size!) and apparently the sneaky little minxes are faking delirium about 70% of the time. Worried individuals might want to look out signs of authenticity like curled toes (also fakable) and a flushed face (not so fakable, unless she can increase her body temperature at will!).

While it is obviously harder (but not impossible!) for males to do likewise, we have an even better thing that we can fake - relationships! The things some men will do/endure in the early days of a new romance! I reckon a similar percentage of men (70%) are trying to fool a woman into thinking that he is worthy of allowing her to fake it!

I believe it was the actress, Sharon Stone, who coined the phrase "women can fake orgasms, but men can fake relationships". Well said, Sharon, well said!

Of course, the title and "Sally" reference are taken from probably the best ever film on male-female dynamics (and thus the official film of this blog!) - "When Harry met Sally".

For those of you who live under a rock, in one of the most famous scenes in film history, Sally fakes an orgasm in a restaurant to show the arrogant Harry that he couldn't tell the difference between a real and a fake one.

An older woman (the director's mother as it turns out - yes, of course I have the DVD!) then tells the waitress "I'll have what she's having". Classic stuff!
