Women resort to faking orgasms to put a stop to unwanted sex, study finds

 

'While some women spoke about faking orgasm in positive ways, for instance, as a pleasurable experience that heightened their own arousal, many talked about feigning pleasure in the context of unwanted and unpleasurable sexual experiences'

Many women feign sexual pleasure in order to end "bad" or unwanted sex sooner, a study has found.
Although the study had recruited women to speak about consensual sex, all of them explicitly spoke about problematic sexual experiences when asked about faking orgasms.

Researchers said they were "struck"  by the number of women who reported faking orgasms due during unwanted sex.

“While some women spoke about faking orgasm in positive ways, for instance, as a pleasurable experience that heightened their own arousal, many talked about feigning pleasure in the context of unwanted and unpleasurable sexual experiences,” psychologist Emily Thomas said.
“Within these accounts, we were struck by the degree to which women were connecting the practice of faking orgasm to accounts of unwanted sex.”
