Even if you haven’t seen the masterpiece that is When Harry Met Sally, you’ve probably seen clips from its notorious “I’ll have what she’s having” scene. It starts with Meg Ryan sitting across from Billy Crystal in a diner.
“Most women, at one time or another, have faked it,” Ryan tells him.
“Well, they haven’t faked it with me.” Crystal says.
She proceeds to fake an intense and convincing orgasm. A diner patron in a Yankees hat turns around with his mouth agape as Ryan screams “Yes, yes, yes.” She’s ooooh-ing and banging on the table one moment, and the next she stops and takes a bite with her fork triumphantly.
The scene will make you cackle — but it’s more significant than simply comedy. It was a major cultural moment for women and sexuality. It brought to the forefront that fact that many women weren’t actually achieving pleasure from sex, says Holly Richmond, Ph.D., a somatic psychologist, certified sex therapist, and a member of the K-Y educational board.
“That was a lovely wake up call for the world that women weren’t orgasming, especially from penetration alone,” Richmond says. “Harry Met Sally and Sex and The City did so much for women’s sexual empowerment, talking about the orgasm gap, so there could be more scientific-based research on the subject.”
Have things gotten better since 1989, when Harry Met Sally came out?
Richmond says that only about 25 percent of women can achieve orgasm from intercourse alone. However, she says that in today’s world, women have a slightly easier time achieving an actual orgasm, because they’re more likely to ask for what they want than they were 30 years ago when the movie came out. Richmond notes that studies also show that women having sex with another woman or nonbinary people don’t fake it as much.
However, faking it is still pretty common.
“Most women can’t orgasm from penetration alone,” Richmond says. “They need direct clitoral stimulation. But, to ask for what they want can be scary, because we’re culturally conditioned to please our partners. But, by using our voices — saying, ‘can we switch positions or take a break?’ It’s amazing how quickly the learning curve can happen. Most partners are very receptive, and want to honestly know what makes the other person feel good.”
Gigi Engle, certified sex coach, sexologist, and intimacy expert at SKYN, says that women often fake it because they don’t have the language to explain what they need from their partner.
“We worry about bruising an ego and causing distress in our relationships by speaking up for ourselves," Engle says. “We wind up playing ourselves, in the end, because you end up in a fake orgasm loop. Your partner is in the dark; they think they're doing all the right things due to the faking. Meanwhile, faking an orgasm can lead to resentment, sexual frustration, and other bigger issues in relationships.”
She says it’s important to note that some women experience anorgasmia, which is the inability to orgasm. But this is pretty rare. “Most of the time women don't orgasm because they aren't being properly stimulated,” Engle says.
How can you tell if someone is faking it?
“A lot of women have learned to be really good actresses to hold up cultural standards,” Richmond says. Still, there are a few signs you might look out for if you’re curious about whether or not your partner is faking it.
One sign might be if a woman is orgasming from penetrative sex alone and it’s happening fast. “Research shows it takes 20 minutes on average to reach peak arousal for a woman," Richmond says. “Not to say it can’t happen faster or take longer.”
If you really think your partner might not be feeling all the feels, Richmond recommends gazing into each others eyes and paying attention to your partner’s body language. “Looking in each others eyes during sex gives you a lot of information,” Richmond says.
She also notes that if a penis or a finger is inside is inside a woman, you can sometimes feel the vaginal wall contracting when an orgasm is taking place. “There are mini spasms of the vaginal wall, and if you’re attuned enough, you can feel it,” she explains. “You can also sometimes feel contractions in male bodies.” But not everyone will be able to feel these small convulsions, so don't jump to conclusions. Just know that it’s important to communicate openly and make sure every person feels comfortable and has a good time during sex.
If you do suspect that your partner is faking it, Richmond says you should never accuse them. “I wouldn’t say ‘are you faking it?' I’d say: ‘I’m curious about when you feel the most turned on.’” Richmond says. This isn’t as confrontational, but is a nice way to start the conversation so that you can both achieve pleasure.
Ultimately, it's about mutual respect, listening to your needs and your partner's — and having bomb sex and finishing When Harry Met Sally while cuddling after.

Everyday reasons why some otherwise-empowered, sex-positive feminists (cough, I) have faked it.
Sometimes — especially when you're not that experienced — it's hard to come to the realization that your main focus during sex should not be putting the guy at ease and making him feel like he did a good job Sexing You. I spent at least three years of my early twenties faking it regularly with the same guy. (Who, as it turned out, knew I was faking the whole time. Truly the basis of a mutually-trustworthy relationship, wouldn't you say?)
Not only has porn has instilled a certain expectation that penetrative sex can usually make most women come (LOLOLOLOL), but even guys who aren't necessarily silly enough to buy into that think there is a surefire recipe for female orgasm — like woman-on-top or oral sex beforehand. And sure, this works often! But sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes, unfortunately, we fake it rather than spend more time and effort working for it. Why? It's complicated but here's one explanation: While The World tells women they should enjoy sex and have a lot of it, The World doesn't tell women how to enjoy it. And until the conversation about sex shifts from what men like to what women like, a lot of women aren't going to know how to ask for — and get — what they want in bed. And we'll continue faking it. Here's why:

1. Because single women have less of a chance at orgasm to begin with. Brand new research has discovered that women are half as likely to come during casual sex as they are in relationships (at a rate of about 40 versus 75 percent). So single women are more inclined to fake it — maybe because they don't comfortable enough to ask their partner for what they want — and, outside of a committed relationship, guys are less inclined to call them out on it.
2. We're conditioned to believe we should also have a happy ending. So sometimes it feels awkward if we don't — for us, not just them. When there is a man on top of you who is three seconds away from coming, it feels weird to just lay there with a blank face, like you are reading a copy of Popular Mechanics pasted on the ceiling. You have a few choices. You can go with one of those super-pointed Have-You-Noticed-I'm-Not-Coming faces.
You can keep going with the flow like you're into it but not necessarily coming.

Or, yes, you can fake it like Tara Reid's boobies.
5. If you're a new suitor maybe it is positive conditioning since you did everything right. Let us on top? Check. Went down on us beforehand? Check. Last a long time? Great. Seemed genuinely interested in how many siblings we have or what college we went to when we were at dinner before we hit the sack? Great. Is this fair? No. But does it happen? Allllll the time, believe you me. I've got friends who still do this.
What would happen if every woman on earth stopped faking?
