Abstract

This study investigates the goal-oriented nature of deceptive communication enacted through faking orgasms for people in diverse relationships that they perceived as less common or less accepted than more normative relationships (n = 501) using Multiple Goals Theory as a lens. Findings revealed that just over half the sample (52.4%) reported having faked an orgasm at some point in their lives, and approximately one third (32.3%) of the sample reported having faked an orgasm with their current partner. Results from qualitative analyses reveal that instrumental, identity, and personal goals characterized the reported motivations for faking orgasms, which primarily included faking an orgasm to end the activity or to benefit the partner. Implications for sexuality educators and future research are discussed.

摘要

 本研究以多目标理论为视角，调查了通过为不同关系中的人们假装高潮而实施的欺骗性沟通的目标导向性质，他们认为这些关系比更规范的关系（n = 501）更不常见或更难被接受。调查结果显示，略多于一半的样本（52.4%）表示曾在生命中的某个时刻假装高潮，大约三分之一（32.3%）的样本表示曾与现任伴侣假装高潮。定性分析的结果表明，工具、身份和个人目标是所报告的假装高潮动机的特征，其中主要包括假装高潮以结束活动或使伴侣受益。讨论了对性教育者和未来研究的影响。
