Are you one of the quarter of women who rely on moans and groans to convince your man that you're having a good time in the bedroom? According to a new study by the University of Central Lancashire, a whopping 25 per cent of women regularly use vocalisations during sex to convince their partners that they are having an orgasm.
Researchers at UCL divided vocalisation s into categories such as “moan/groan,” “scream/shriek/squeal” and words like “yes” and “more” as well as “instructional commands", to try and work out why exactly women were faking it. They found that 92 per cent of women were faking it as a way to boost their partner’s self-esteem and make them feel confident about their sexual performance and desirability. Also, according to the research women used vocalisation as a way to speed up the process because of fatigue, boredom or discomfort rather than as a direct expression of sexual arousal. Faking it to make your partner feel better about themselves is all well and good, but is pretending to orgasm just setting yourself up for more disappointing sex in the future?
