To sign "orgasm", begin by forming an "O" handshape with your dominant hand and placing it near your mouth. In a single, quick motion, move your hand forward and slightly downward. As your hand moves away from your face, open your fingers into a loose, curved "5" or claw handshape. The movement should be a sudden burst, representing a release. Keep the motion crisp and distinct to ensure the meaning is clear.
To ask this, point to the person to sign "you", then sign "orgasm" using the quick forward burst motion. Since this is a yes/no question, remember to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly while signing to indicate that you are asking a question.
Begin by pointing to the person or their space to establish "she". Next, sign "fake" by brushing your index finger across your nose. Finally, sign "orgasm" with the forward opening motion. Keep your facial expression appropriate to the narrative tone of the sentence.
Start by signing "healthy", using both hands to pull outward from your chest into "S" handshapes. Then, sign "orgasm" by starting the "O" handshape near your mouth and bursting it outward into a claw shape. Nod slightly to affirm the statement.
