In a recent study by the NIH, as covered by the Daily Mail, 80% of women fake their orgasms. Furthermore, these "faked" female orgasms may actually aid some in achieving real climax.

Researchers surveyed 481 heterosexual females, all sexually active but not in serious relationships. The results, published in The Journal of Sexual Archives, threw up the usual, predictable reasons for faking - but also a surprising one.

The most common reason was ‘altruistic deceit’ - to protect the man’s feelings.

Second, fear and insecurity. Wanting the sex to be a positive experience, rather than a negative one.

Fourth, was faking it to end the sex session. No surprises there (though it’s usually further up the list!)

The most interesting reason came third on the list.

‘Elevated arousal’ - faking orgasm to make yourself feel more turned on.

Communication is the key to good sex - and faking orgasm (for reasons that aren’t so helpful) isn’t necessary if admitting to not having one isn’t a problem!

    My wife's previous boyfriend told her she was too loud. I don't know what the hell he was thinking but it really made her clam up during sex. I told her I did not want her to fake anything, but I would like her to exaggerate. Turned out to work great. It let her feel uninhibited, sort of like she gave herself permission because she was acting so if she did something she was embarrassed about it wasn't the real her that did it. In a weird way she was able to be more honest by pretending.

    Yeah, this is right up there with having your partner moan while giving you head (and visa versa). My wife and I know she isn't enjoying my dick in her mouth so much to be moaning lustfully about it, but it sure makes it more enjoyable all the same.

      know she isn't enjoying my dick in her mouth

      you'd be surprised. many people do find pleasure in giving oral sex because they know how much it pleases their partner. sex isn't fun because its enjoyable personally, its fun because its enjoyable for your partner.

    Now throw some revenge into the mix...

    Neighbours have noisy little shits that seem to bounce themselves off the walls like crack monkeys on heat. If we've been woken in the morning, we'll have no problem making lots of noise in the evening. Again, it's the letting your hair down and acting that's part of the fun.

    Which reminds me of a quite marvelous William H Macy sex scene in the movie /The Cooler/.

    Just curious, how many boyfriends do you let your wife have?
