Some neurologists wondered the same thing, so they did a scientific study on it. As things turn out, a woman can (and does) fake it, and there is no real way to discern it from the real thing. Except for one thing: PET scans (brain scans). The brain activity of a woman orgasming is quite different from that of one faking it. Specifically, orgasming involves a lack of activity in the fear, inhibition, and awareness areas of the brain. Basically, to reach full sexual arousal, a woman, in some form, has to surrender to the experience. The same thing goes for men, but to a much lesser degree.
