Why Women Fake Orgasms?

Here’s the harsh truth: according to statistics, every woman is expected to fake an orgasm at least once in her life. The reasons for faking orgasms are often straightforward: many women do not want to hurt their partner’s feelings or wish to end an encounter that has gone on too long. For many women, intimacy is more important than orgasm, and they may prefer to fake it rather than disappoint their partners. Additionally, women typically reach their sexual peak around the age of thirty-six, meaning that they might find it more challenging to orgasm in their twenties compared to their thirties. As mentioned earlier, 70% of women cannot achieve orgasm through penetration alone.

Moreover, similar to the discomfort men might feel with so called “blue balls”, women can experience pain if they do not climax. In some cases, orgasm can also be painful, leading women to fake it rather than endure the discomfort. Women often avoid discussing these issues with their partners for fear of being judged as frigid. Another issue is that when a partner learns that the woman is faking orgasms, he may become overly focused on trying too hard, which can make the situation worse. The best approach is open communication and seeking professional help if necessary—forcing the issue is not effective. And by the way, men also fake orgasms.
