Sex can be likened to a journey. For some people it's about the ride, while for others it's about the final destination. And those who don't usually end the trip on a high often feel like they need to pretend they did.
We’ve all heard stories of women faking orgasms to spare their partners’ feelings but it turns out, women may actually be faking sexual pleasure for other reasons too.
Sexual pleasure for women and men has a lot to do with emotion and relaxation. It’s difficult to enjoy sex and reach orgasm if you’re uncomfortable, self-conscious or don’t feel quite right about what’s going on or about your partner, explains sexologist and sex therapist, Dr Trevor Adams.
