S1E2: Don't Fake It

In Episode 2 of Quickie with a Vibe, Dr. Danielle Armour and Dr. Ashley Sweet dive deep into the many ways we fake it — in the bedroom and beyond. From faking orgasms to performing for partners, the hosts unpack why so many people abandon their own pleasure to protect someone else's feelings.The conversation covers the challenges of "spectating" during sex instead of staying embodied, how society conditions women to perform at the expense of authenticity, and why the 20-30% orgasm gap in heterosexual relationships is really a communication gap. They also introduce the concept of "before play" — because foreplay starts long before the bedroom.This week's Clit Note: Get to know your own clit first. Each person is fundamentally responsible for their own orgasm, and owning your pleasure starts with knowing what actually feels good.Expect honesty, laughter, and the kind of real talk two AASECT-certified sex therapists and self-described "co-alphas" can deliver.
