Studies show that between 50 and 72 percent of women have faked “it”, while only between 11 and 24 percent of men have faked an orgasm.
Women often “fake it” because they think their partner wants to know they are enjoying sex.
Many women believe their partners want them to have an orgasm every time they have sex. This is a misconception – many men realize women don’t always get off when they have sex.
Being honest about having or not having an orgasm can lead to better understanding, better communication and, ultimately, better sex.
Looking at it another way – 30% of women say they always have orgasms, while 45% say they usually do, and 24% say they less often do.
