All About That Fake Orgasm Scene in When Harry Met Sally

If I made a list of iconic romantic comedy moments, Meg Ryan faking an earth-shattering orgasm in When Harry Met Sally would be high up there. How’d she pull off such a convincing performance? It turns out she had a little help.

In a new video from Huffington Post Live, director Rob Reiner is spilling all about how he taught Meg the art of faking it. Also discussed in the video: an orgasm flash mob. I’m intrigued.

Funny, right? I’d never have guessed Meg was shy about that scene. Why did she not win all the awards for that performance?

Speaking of faking orgasms, are you for or against? I was always firmly anti-faking, but some research suggests it could actually improve your sex life. That’s not to say you should do it every time; it may just be a good plan B for the days you’re not feeling totally into sex.

Would you ever fake it? If you have a firm opinion, share below.
