“Men tend to fake for similar reasons that women fake: to help their partner's ego, to not hurt their partner's feelings, to end sex so that they can go to sleep or go home,” said Debby Herbenick, co-director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University.

A survey of more than 1,000 U.S. men, conducted by DatingAdvice.com and published this month, found that divorced men are 67 percent more likely to simulate an orgasm than are single men. According to a survey published by the website in March – also spanning more than 1,000 American males – 22 percent of respondents owned up to faking.

Those findings are consistent with past sex-health studies, although some researchers have found that one in three guys have offered pretend orgasms, Herbenick said. (Not to get too graphic, but at this point you may be wondering how on earth this is possible, and the answer is most likely "condoms.&quot

"The main reason men fake it is to avoid having to talk about any potential sex issue. The fear is that not having an orgasm – and telling the truth about it – could generate anxiety in their partner and invite endless discussion," Meyers said. "Men would rather avoid the issue altogether than confront it directly."
