About 80 percent of people have faked an orgasm at least once in their life, according to research by the site Kinkly, which deals with sex promotion, education and the sale of various aids to make those moments of life as pleasant as possible.
They created a survey that was completed by more than 1200 people. They were asked how often they are not honest when it comes to climax and why they did that.
The results showed that 87 percent of women faked an orgasm at some point, compared to 69 percent of men. Women also regularly pretend to climax about 37 percent of the time, while men only pretend nine percent of the time.
As many as 74 percent of respondents were convinced that they do it so well that their partner cannot notice anything.
When it comes to an honest orgasm, women admitted that they achieve it in 70 percent of cases, while this percentage is higher for men, they actually reach the climax in 86 percent of cases.
Why do they pretend they've peaked? The four most common responses during this survey were:
1. I didn't want my partner to feel bad.
2. I wanted the sexual encounter to end.
3. I wanted my partner to feel good.
4. I was sexually satisfied, but I did it because I felt I was expected to end the sex.
During the survey, 62 percent of people said that they think that during sex, both partners should always have an orgasm. At Kinkly, they try to explain to people that sexual encounters exist because of the desire for pleasure, and that orgasms are not indicators of a good sexual relationship.
They point out that sex is not only orgasm, it is all the pleasures that are experienced even before reaching that point. They believe that if people relaxed more and stopped looking at orgasm as something that must be achieved at any cost, then maybe they would stop acting, reports Health.
