This is why we stop faking orgasms – University of Copenhagen

The Scandinavians are known for their more nonchalant approach to sex! When was the last time you visited a sauna?

If you fake it, you loose it?

I believe, it has been known for several decades that faking an orgasm (repeatedly) could be as sign for some trouble. So this study only confirms it.

"... Faking orgasms is not without consequences for ourselves and the sexual partner. It can significantly impact the relationship and may be a sign of deeper issues, according to the researchers behind the study. ..."

From the abstract:
"The current study investigated the phenomenon of faking orgasms, including the reasons why people stop faking orgasms, sociodemographic predictors of faking orgasms, its association with sex toy use, and its association with sexual, relationship, and life satisfaction. A cross-country convenience sample of 11,541 respondents from six European countries (Denmark, Finland, France, Norway, Sweden, and the UK) was collected in May and June 2022 through respondent panels by Cint, a market research software platform. Participants completed an online self-report survey. The study’s main findings showed that around 51% of men and women in the study had never faked orgasms, around 28% had faked orgasms but stopped faking and around 13% currently faked orgasms. Further, the reasons for men and women to stop faking orgasms included becoming more comfortable with not having an orgasm, improving sexual communication with their sexual partner, and the partner paying more attention to the respondents’ desires and preferences. Finally, it was shown that faking orgasms was associated with lower sexual, relationship, and life satisfaction. The current study represents one of the few research projects focusing on the phenomenon of stopping faking orgasms and reasons for it, with the added strength of including a large male sample."
