The more she screams, the more likely she's faking

As reported by Brian Alexander of msnbc's Sexploration, a new British study found that women vocalize orgasmic sensations more to manipulate their sex partners than as expressions of pleasure. In fact, the closer a woman is to achieving climax, the less noise she tends to make.
The study, which was conducted out of the University of Central Lancashire and the University of Leeds, surveyed 71 women between 18 and 48 about the noises they make during sex. Researchers found that women use various vocalizations to manipulate men into climaxing out of boredom, fatigue, discomfort, or time restraints.
More than 25% of these women regularly faked orgasms with vocalizations. 90% of the time they did this because they knew they wouldn't climax. 92% felt these vocalizations increased their
mate's self-confidence.
A 2009 study found that men and women often follow scripted roles during sex. Men believe they are supposed to give women orgasms, and females' vocalizations are often the only cues these men get that they are fulfilling that role.
Faking through vocalization isn't just a human phenomenon. A 2008 study found that female macaques increased the chances of a male partner ejaculating by calling instead of remaining silent. When these females vocalize in certain ways, the males thrust faster. The thrusting doesn't cause the vocalization; the vocalization increases the thrusting.
While many women fake as a means of boosting their partner's self esteem, this vocalization only reinforces their partners' bad or painful sex practices.
So what can we learn from all this---be more selfish in bed. Studies have shown that selfish lovers often make better lovers. If you get too wrapped up in worrying about pleasing your partner, you're more likely to turn her off as she feels obligated to respond to your efforts. Women should learn to use their men to get what they want. But, if all else fails and you just want to go to sleep, try talking dirty.
