fakers may

be unfaithful

Women who fake orgasms

might be more likely to cheat —

or so says a new study out of

the Missouri Uni in the US.

Researchers tried to test the “female

fidelity” theory, which suggests that

the female orgasm “signals a woman’s

sexual satisfaction, and therefore

her likelihood of future fidelity to a

partner.” They surveyed 138 women

and 121 men currently in a sexual

relationship and asked a variety of

questions about the frequency of their

orgasms as well as infidelity.

When the researchers analysed the

results, they found that the female-

fidelity theory was pretty much a

nonstarter. They did find, however,

that a “faked orgasm was associated

with female sexual infidelity and lower

male relationship satisfaction.” In

other words: Women who faked

orgasms were likely to be unfaithful

and to have partners who weren’t as

happy with their relationships.

Guess you can’t fake it and really

make it in the relationship world.

looked at employees
