Here’s why Halle Berry won’t be faking an orgasm in the bedroom with Van Hunt.
Around the 12:08 minute mark, Berry explained that with age she’s built a “zero f–ks to give attitude” around sex, allowing her to speak freely about her desires with her partner Van Hunt in the bedroom, something that drastically improved her sex life.
At 59, the Hollywood star told Morse she’s “done worrying about everybody else’s feelings,” and encouraged the women in the audience to do the same.

Berry noted that her sex life has gotten “better now” because she can tell her partner confidently, ‘Here’s what I want. What I don’t want. This feels good. This does not.’” And now that trust has been built? There’s no need to fake the big o.
The Respin Health founder continued, “Everybody has faked it because you just want it to be done. Sometimes you just want the pounding to stop…we’re afraid to say, we had to get there so that he felt good about bringing us to orgasm,” she noted. “We had to say that we did it so that he would feel good about himself. But what is that doing? That’s putting his needs before our own. And now I don’t do that anymore.”
The actress added bluntly, “I’m like, ‘No, I come first like you come first to you.’ We both deserve to have this be a mutually enjoyable experience, so we both can roll over and go to sleep because we feel good — not one snoring and the other one looking at the ceiling.”
