Another important reason why women fake their orgasm is the fear of upsetting their partner. Many men anxiously insist that the woman must have satisfaction. (Rachel Swift)
Does that come from the Bible? There is no research to support your proposal but there is a huge quantity of erotic fiction. Women may enjoy lovemaking - upper-body kissing and caressing with a caring and supportive partner. Women talk of love and relationships. They rarely comment on sex itself but if they do they do not talk of sexual frustration, sexual pleasure or erotic turn-ons. Men pay for sex because of the sexual release they enjoy from penetration. Men talk of erotic turn-ons and sexual pleasure.
I admit that the is no much research on this but critical topic. I remember visiting the Sex Museum in Amsterdam with exhibitions. Maybe looking in that direction for their flyers, hand-out and catalogues will provide some insight.
Sex research has been done but it has been ignored, not just by the public but also by sexologists. Only research that promotes intercourse as a female sexual pleasure is promoted. There is no science in sexology. It is just politics. Men want to be reassured that women want sex and have used orgasm as a token of female enthusiasm. Women want to be attractive to men so that they can benefit from the rewards men offer for intercourse.
In my research field, I have explored this phenomenon to better understand it without placing blame, since such discussions can easily be met with defensiveness or even hostility, which women understandably seek to avoid.
Women fake orgasm for multiple reasons: fear of provoking negative reactions, emotional exhaustion, or simply a desire to bring the sexual encounter to a quicker end.
However, the most fundamental explanation lies in a well-documented behavioral response known as appeasement. Across many species, including humans, individuals exhibit appeasement behaviors —such as people-pleasing— as a strategy to minimize the risk of aggression or conflict.
In this context, faking orgasm becomes a clear example of a protective mechanism aimed at maintaining safety and emotional stability during intimate encounters.
Oh please, Jane. If women’s voices sound unfamiliar to you, it’s not because they’re silent — it’s because you’re not listening.
There is extensive research, lived testimony, and yes, even erotic fiction (if you bothered to take it seriously) where women speak clearly about sexual frustration, pleasure, and desire.
Erasing what doesn’t fit your narrative isn’t groundbreaking; it’s just tired. Try again.
