'If you want to find true happiness, just fake it'
In her latest book, the feminist icon Fay Weldon has caused a sensation by turning the beliefs of the sisterhood upside down. By Amelia Hill Amelia Hill Sunday September 3, 2006
Observer Telling women not to expect orgasms but to fake them, and to praise their partner lavishly afterwards, is not advice normally associated with a woman who has been in the vanguard of feminism for four decades.
Nevertheless, Fay Weldon gives short shrift to the views for which feminists have fought so bitterly over the years. In her latest book, she not only warns high-flying women that they should expect to end up single, she also suggests that sexual pleasure may be incompatible with high-powered careers and that women should simply accept they are less capable of being happy than men.
'Eighty per cent of women only sometimes - or never - experience orgasm. Facts are facts and there we are. Deal with it,' she writes in What Makes Women Happy?, to be published this month by Fourth Estate.
According to Weldon, sensible members of the sisterhood should, therefore, follow the example so graphically set by the actor Meg Ryan in the 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally, and fake orgasms whenever necessary.
'If you are happy and generous-minded, you will fake it and then leap out of bed and pour him champagne, telling him, "You are so clever" or however you express enthusiasm,' she says. 'Faking is kind to male partners ... Otherwise they too may become anxious and so less able to perform. Do yourself and him a favour, sister: fake it.'

ROTFL - You're so clever :~D
Quite clever like Bill Clinton and possibly the next John Wayne Bobbitt if a woman I am with knows I posted this......GASP!
"Did you enjoy Orgasm Day, Amy?"
"I pretended to."

I don't know where she gets her statistics about 80% of all women only sometimes having orgasms, but I've seen studies showing that both sexes get more satisfaction in marriage than out of it. And marriage, of course, is the institution feminists have tried so hard to destroy for the past forty years. So no wonder those feminazis aren't getting off successfully and have to give up on sex.
Frankly, there is no career in the world that can compensate for the joy of cuddling up in the arms of a man who loves you, both of you exhausted, triumphant, and thoroughly happy, maybe laughing a little at nothing because you're so happy.
The funny thing is that I fake too. She never can tell.
I wonder if Fay is married? If she is, this book must be a shock to her husband! If she is single than apparently she hasn't been faking it too well. LOL!
What about lesbians?
Its fake to begin with...
Divorced and remarried, with four children.
I hope you are a women! =) lol
(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )
This is one stupid woman. Obviously frigid.
Ladies: If you arent having orgasms first try letting your partner know what it is you would like to do that would bring them on. Most men wil be more than happy to do requests. After he tries it your way and you still are having trouble, seek medical help. If that dosnt work try a new partner.
Orgasms are the meat in the sex stew, If you arent getting them dont just go away mad, try something new.
Most women are capable of multiple orgasms unlike men if sex isnt good you arent doing it right.
Now I am no Dr. Ruth, but I have been around and I can tell you :faking it just dont get the job done.
**The funny thing is that I fake too. She never can tell.**
Then she must be the most stupid woman alive or else when she cleans herself she is just " Dusting".
You can't do this when you're NOT married? Hmm.
This sounds like feminsts are terrified that women may actually have sexual satisfaction with a man.
Happines for women is bad news for feminists.
If at first you don't succeed ... try the tried and true method! LOL!
SoS
I'll BET Hillary fakes it .
