70% of women and a THIRD of
men have faked an orgasm to avoid hurting their partner's feelings
- Pressure to enjoy sex was one of the main reasons
- Others became bored after an orgasm seemed unlikely
The
study, carried out by the University of Kansas, found that 68 per cent of women and even 28 per cent of men have
pretended to climax with a partner.
Both
sexes gave the same reasons for faking it - a partner's orgasm was imminent so
they felt under pressure to climax.
Other
commonly cited reasons were that they wanted to end - without hurting a
partner's feelings - or they were bored after an orgasm seemed unlikely.
Aim to
please: Many are faking orgasms to keep their partners happy
The
study, published in the
Journal of Sex Research, questioned 281 male and female
students about their sexual habits.
It found
that in many cases, both men and women simulated orgasms because they felt
under too much pressure to enjoy real sex.
This was
a particular problem for men.
The
report said: 'The emphasis on men's ability to give their partners
"earth-shaking orgasms" sometimes leads both women and men to pretend
orgasm to meet these expectations.'
Sex
expert said that some women may fake sexual fulfillment because they feel
obliged to: 'Some women may feel they need to provide evidence that
they're enjoying themselves.'
Women may
also bluff because they find it difficult to orgasm from penetrative sex alone,
she added.
Last
year, a study carried out claimed that women fake orgasms as a form of
'mate-guarding' behavior which prevents their partners
from straying.
Another
2011 study even suggested that women faked orgasm because they were riddled
with insecurities and had a fear of intimacy.
But if
faking an orgasm means being noisy then it could be doing wonders for your love
life.
A recent
study carried out by Leeds University found that those who were loud
in the bedroom reported a better sex life.
Women
particularly responded to their partner expressing pleasure audibly
because, say experts, it reassures women about the
quality of their performance.
