Ladies get in here! You have been exposed :)..the lies behind the big 'O' unveiled

It is no secret that woman fake orgasms as Meg Ryan proved in that famous scene of When Harry Met Sally, however just how many of them are faking and their reasons why might surprise you.

In a new survey commissioned by Cosmopolitan revealed that 67 per cent of the 2,300 of the women surveyed had faked an orgasm with a partner. 

The reasons for faking were to spare a partners feelings (28 per cent) but the remainder of women said that it was because they wanted to end the session more quickly (27 per cent).

The survey also suggests that when it comes to The Big O women's pleasure isn't always a priority. 

Some 57 per cent of those surveyed said that they orgasmed most or every time they had sex with a partner while 95 per cent believed that their other half orgasm every time they have intercourse.

Shockingly 72 per cent of women admitted that their partners have climaxed without helping them to finish despite 78 per cent agreeing that they believed their partner cared about pleasuring them. 

The survey also explored when women experienced their first orgasm with the majority (27 per cent) claiming it was between the age of 17 and 19 shortly after the age of consent.

Women who complained they weren't orgasming with their partner pointed to a number of reasons from being 'almost there' but unable to 'quite get over the edge' (50 per cent) to 'not the right kind' of stimulation from their partner (35 per cent).

For 32 per cent, being 'in my own head' or too focused on how they look prevents them from reaching a climax.  

What about men?
