Why People Fake It in Bed
The fact that people fake orgasms (and pleasure) is not new. It has actually been documented for over a century!And the numbers are not low either: one study found that 90% of its participants -across all genders- had pretended at least once to orgasm or to appear more turned on than they really were. Yes, you read right: nine-zero. That’s a lot of pretending. You would think researchers would be lining up to explore the topic, but no. Despite how common and layered faking orgasms is, it remains woefully understudied. Luckily, one group of researchers did want to shed light on the mystery of faking orgasms, and more specifically, why people do so.
