About this listen

In Episode 4 of The Untamed Woman, Alice Hong goes straight into one of the most common (and most quietly damaging) patterns in long-term relationships: faking pleasure.

Not every time. But enough that you don’t remember what it feels like to be fully in your body during sex — to feel, instead of perform.

In this episode, Alice breaks down why so many women fake orgasms (and why it’s not because you’re “broken”), how your Love Masks are often running the show in the bedroom, and what it actually takes to start telling the truth without blowing up your relationship. She walks you through the mindset shifts you need before you have the conversation — and then gives you practical, word-for-word scripts for the most common scenarios: admitting you’ve been faking, asking for more foreplay, giving specific feedback, trying something new, and naming that you’re in a rut.

This is a practical episode. It’s honest. It may feel edgy. And it’s designed to get you out of silent resentment and back into real intimacy, real pleasure, and real presence.
