I Read The Jezebel Article So You Don't Have To

Author: Margaret Hartmann

"Long" Summary:

According to research done by Erin Cooper of Temple University, women fake orgasms because they are insecure and are afraid of intamacy, rather than the popularized notion of trying to flatter their partner.

She also notes that other popular reasons for faking an orgasm was that the woman was embarrassed by her inability to orgasm, or that she wanted to end the sexual experience because she was not enjoying it.

She also notes that of the women she interviewed, there was a small number of women who enjoyed faking orgasms and found that it positively effected their overall sexual experience.

Short Summary:

Erin Cooper claims that a woman is more likely to be faking an orgasm because of her own mental processes (insecurity, fear of intimacy, embarrassment over inability to orgasm), rather than anything her husband/boyfriend/fuck-buddy/one-night-stand does.

Article Comments:

A few of the comments on the article are personal stories of the commenter listening in (either intentionally or not) on a couple that was engaging in sexual activities in an adjacent apartment/room/other and "knowing" that the woman was faking orgasm. Others are of why a particular listener would hear the woman rushing to the bathroom immediately after sex (another commenter stated that the couple probably wasn't using a condom and probably didn't want a wet spot on the bed, thus the rush to the toilet).

Why should we, as men, care if women fake their orgasms? They're just cheating themselves, and it's not like we need their help to have orgasms of our own.

It's difficult for most women to have an orgasm through sexual intercourse. I'd say most women fake it to "get it over with" or so that the guy won't feel bad. Personally, it can take me a lot of focus to have an orgasm during sex. When I was younger, I'd sometimes fake it. I stopped doing that probably 3-4 years ago. I can tell you, if a guy knows you're not getting off, it usually bothers him.
