In this episode, Dr. Jenn talks about faking it during intimacy. It comes in many forms – with both male and female partners doing it. It's the idea that we aren't totally authentic during sex.

Factors that tend to influence your willingness to be real:

• obligation to your partner
• distraction (busy brain)
• disinterest (they aren't doing what you want)
• insecurity (about body or skills)
• lack of knowledge about what you actually want
• habit (doing the same old thing)

Dr. Jenn unpacks different circumstances that bring about faking it and discusses why it happens and what you might do differently.
