NIH Study: Faking Orgasms May Lead to Real Ones

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.

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