Faking Orgasm

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the reports of women faking orgasms throughout history and their reasons for doing so. It examines an article by Laura Lewis, "Why Women Fake Orgasm," and then presents an argument against faking orgasms - from a feminist perspective and from an equal relationship perspective. The writer concludes that the worst result could be that a woman will feel obligated to continue doing so in the future, indefinitely perhaps, and never achieve the intimacy and joy that results from climaxing with their partner. Includes an outline.

From the Paper:

"Why would any person, male or female, fake an orgasm? Throughout history, women have reported faking orgasms much more frequently than men. The reasons are varied, and include the desire to please their mate, self-consciousness at actually achieving orgasm, and the lack of knowledge related to how their "plumbing" works. Most individuals have likely "faked" an orgasm at least once in their life. There will always come a time when one just wants to get the process over with, please their partner, and catch a few zzz's. However, the reality is this: Orgasms are wonderful. Yet for many inexplicable reasons, thousand upon thousands of women fake orgasms on a frequent basis. They do not fake orgasms on occasion only, but rather fake the majority of time rather than the minority."
