Our team of researchers conduct studies through nationwide surveys and in-depth analysis of relationship trends and dating behaviors.

According to a study coming out of the University of Kansas, 28% of men and 67% of women fake orgasms, but they fake it for different reasons.

Researchers studied the sex lives of 281 undergraduates (180 men and 101 women) and found men and women fake orgasms depending on the scenario.

“Men were more likely to fake it when they

were feeling bored or wanted sex to end.”

Both men and women are most likely to fake it within the context of a committed relationship (78% of women and 53% of men).

However, men were much more likely to fake orgasms when dating (16% of men and 2% women), hooking up (16% of men and 10% of women) or with someone they just met (7% of men and 0% of women).

Men were more likely to fake orgasms when they were feeling bored or just wanted the sex to end, while women were most likely to fake it to spare their partner’s feelings.
