It’s a well-known fact that a lot of women fake orgasm during sexual intercourse, and now a survey conducted in Great Britain has confirmed just how high the percentage is. According to this survey which was conducted by the University of Lancashire and University of Leeds; 80% of women faked orgasms at least 50% of the time and 25% women faked it an astonishing 90% of the time they had vaginal intercourse.
These are amazing statistics which begs the question- why do such large numbers of women pretend to climax during intercourse (which is the most intimate act); here are a few insights about why women fake an orgasm:
- Inability to reach an orgasm during sexual intercourse: The majority of women need other stimulation apart from the actual act of lovemaking to achieve orgasm and when lovemaking goes on and on with them not climaxing, they tend to fake one.
- When women are uncomfortable, tired or in pain etc.: Sometimes women go along with their partner in the act of lovemaking even though they are physically tired or if they experience pain during vaginal intercourse(due to dryness or vaginal tears). So they fake it to just stop the lovemaking.
- To spare their partner’s feelings: Women know that most men are very conscious of their performance in bed, and for men; getting their partner to reach an orgasm is a key indicator to them of their sexual prowess. So women just fake an orgasm, so that their partner can feel that the sexual encounter has been satisfying for them both.
There are a few things that a woman can do so that they don’t have to pretend an orgasm so often, the most important of which is letting their partner know which kind of stimulation helps them reach an orgasm( oral sex etc.) and guide them to the level of intensity that they like. Another way would be to use sex toys (vibrator etc.) to help them achieve orgasm.
This can only be done if there is open communication between the partners and both of them need to accept each other’s needs and react accordingly.
