According to a survey, over two thirds of women, and just over a quarter of men, have faked an orgasm before.
But how can you tell if an orgasm is fake, or if it's the real deal?
According to one sex expert, there's an easy way to find out.

Self-confessed orgasm expert Katie Flowers has shared the signs that men can look out for if they think their partner is actually fibbing in the bedroom.
“Don’t underestimate the power of your intuition,” she told the New York Post.
“If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your gut instincts to guide you toward genuine moments of pleasure.”

According to Katie, it's not about the moaning or the screaming, but more about the other signs that can't be faked, like flushed cheeks and more subtle indications of pleasure.
But if you find out your partner is faking it, it's really not the end of the world and addressing the issue is always the best option.
“True intimacy is about connection, not performance,” Katie added. “Focus on building a deeper connection with your partner and savouring the shared experience.

“Knowledge is power, and understanding the complexities of human sexuality can help you navigate intimate encounters with confidence."
One woman who didn't have to fake an orgasm was a lady named Liz who appeared on a 2014 episode of TLC's Sex Sent Me To The ER.
Liz ended up being hospitalised with a 'never-ending' orgasm, after her and partner Eric had sex.
Liz said she tried everything from downing red wine to taking antihistamines, but nothing seemed to stop the 'physically, emotionally and mentally taxing experience'.

Eventually, partner Eric said they had to go to hospital to get Liz checked out, telling doctors what had happened in the hope that they could establish the root of the problem.
Liz recalled: "Until you actually experience it. I had to call in and tell my boss that I wasn't feeling very well. I ended up calling every medical professional I've ever seen in my life to try and get somebody to give me an answer!"
After hours, the orgasm stopped, but it wasn't gone for long.

After Liz left the hospital, she found she was having random orgasms without any stimulation whatsoever - and on a regular basis.
She finally found some success with anti-seizure drugs, which she now uses to help manage the strange orgasms.
