Fakers
Posted December 22, 2008 12:09 PM
One in three women admit they fake an orgasm when making love -- but so do a quarter of men.
A survey of 30,000 people in the U.K. from an internet dating site found age is no barrier, with as many 60-year-olds as teenagers admitting to putting on a performance between the sheets.
Some claimed they faked because they did not find their partner attractive, others to avoid an argument and a few just to get it over and done with.
Among the fakers who completed the poll for www.smooch.com, some said they did not want to make their partner feel inadequate while others blamed having an unhappy relationship.
The survey was also told that the more attractive a man or woman is, the more likely they are to pretend during lovemaking.
The biggest fakers come from Redbridge, Essex -- where 53 percent admit that at least some of the time they put on an act that rivals Meg Ryan's famous scene in When Harry Met Sally.
Londoners are the most honest between the sheets -- with 75 percent claiming that they have never faked.

Sex for women definitely begins in the brain ie emotions. If a man can begin to make love to a womans emotions all day party is usually on by evening. As far as women faking it Women are equally responsible for making sex feel good not only for their partner but for themselves as well. If a menopausal woman would actually take charge and do whatever it takes to achieve an orgasm she would probably feel alot less stressed out looking forward to sex the next time. It definitley is a fine balance but one that can be easily achieved with good commmunication , 100 % participation and patience. Women can't hold men responsible for faking orgasms or achieving them. Each person knows what feels good. Get together on the situation be real and have fun !!!

I am not surprised the numbr if fakers is so high. What surprises me is that the survey didn't mention the possibility that lovers, especially women, fake an orgasm so as not to disappoint their partner; especially when he trying to please. Perhaps the problem is many people engage in sex without first getting in the mood. I find so much of sex begins in the brain. jana from www.awomansgoodnight.com

It seems to me much more difficult for a man to fake an orgasm than a woman. Surely the woman can tell if her male partner is faking.

Londoners must know how to please their wives. If you are faking it then you must not have a lover who cares. Seems to me if you have to lie like that to your lover then something is seriously amiss in the relationship! I wold feel like a cheat and a liar if I faked it. Besides, if I fake it then how will my lover ever know what really turns me on???

Orgasma come in a wide variety of sensations of satisfaction. If frustration is not a factor in "completion" of lovemaking, then the participant(s) have had a loving and rewarding sexual experience, with or without an explosive orgasm No explosive sensations are necessary to achieve the feeling of being warmed by the sun. That's true for males AND females, young or old.
