Temple researcher investigates motivation for faking orgasm

Approximately 60 percent of women have faked an orgasm, according to Temple researcher Erin Cooper. Many of these women said they faked it due to their own fear of intimacy. "Women who have a hard time getting close to other people on an emotional level it seems now are also having a hard time getting close to other people on a sexual level," Cooper said. "They are having a hard time across the board, and may be very much in need of intervention to help them out in another domain. This could either be the cause or the symptom; we don't know enough about it yet."
