Why women sometimes fake orgasm

Because you won’t listen to us
when we say it’s not going to happen for us.
Because you don’t believe us
when we say it’s fine for you to come without us.
Because we don’t want to hurt your feelings
those times you’re trying so hard to please us.
Because you usually can’t tell.
Because we feel like failures when we can't.

(I have faked in the past, in my youth, but no longer do.
A lover who wouldn’t listen and wouldn’t give up
when I say I’m not going to come
might be reason enough to do it again, though.)
