When talking about troubling sexual encounters some women mention faking sexual pleasure to speed up their male partner's orgasm and ultimately end sex that they do not enjoy. For the study the researchers interviewed a small group of women (aged 19 -28) who had been sexually active for at least one year. While some women spoke about faking an 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 said one of the researchers Emily Thomas from Ryerson University in Toronto
