Relationship Protocol: Do You Fake it?

DearSugar — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 09:30:00 -0800

In case you missed it, Oprah dedicated her first week back from holiday vacation to living your best life. She covered diet, money, spirituality, and of course, sex! Dr. Laura Berman is back on today's show with tips on how we can all have a better sex life in 2009. One thing she focus' on is faking an orgasms. According to Dr. Berman, 70 percent of women have faked orgasms on a regular basis, if not once or twice, but if he thinks he's doing everything right, and if he continues to think you're getting pleasure by it, he'll never know how to really please you. In other words, you're doing yourself a huge disservice by "mercy faking" it!

So to those of you in a committed, long-term relationship, tell me, do you fake it when you're having sex with your significant other, and if so, how often? Don't worry, your secrets are safe here!

Some self-help books are awesome and inspire us, while others won't get a second glance because the titles are too bizarre. Can you tell the difference between the real or fake self-help books in this quiz?

WTF?!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 11:30:00 -0800

A re-born is a spooky, realistic-looking doll that, for some women, takes the place of a real baby. (Read LilSugar's take on it here). In the documentary My Fake Baby, you see women taking their re-borns to the grocery store and to the park. (They're made with painstaking craftsmanship by an English mother of four.) One woman is corrected by her grandson who, when she says she has a baby, replies, "It's a doll!" Eeeeek! I'm not surprised that some men purchase Real Dolls cuz they can't interact with real women, but c'mon ladies, I expected more from you! What ever happened to Beanie Baby collecting?!

Have You Ever Faked an Orgasm?

TresSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 04:00:00 -0700

I remember talking to a friend of mine years ago who told me that she'd never had an orgasm with a man - but that she almost always faked it.

It really surprised me because she seemed otherwise like a take-charge kind of woman - confident, beautiful, and certainly not shy. I didn't understand why she'd feel the pressure! (She was an actress, though, so I guess that kind of makes sense.)

Most of us are not actresses, or not good ones anyway, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to pretend your significant other is doing something right if he's not. Isn't faking something you'd just have to keep doing? And then if you stopped, he'd wonder why whatever he was doing before no longer worked?

Real or Fake: Married Couples' Facebook Overshares

TresSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:00:00 -0700

It's hard to believe so much trouble could come from the idle chatter of a Facebook status, but it does. And where there's trouble, there's a blog. STFU, Marrieds is a collection of Facebook overshares between couples. Some are unbelievable, and others are just typos gone very wrong, but the best have the overshare between the lines, like, "Btw, I'm bridezilla!" See if you can tell the real from the fake.
