A recent survey of 400 residents of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City has revealed that nearly one-third of female respondents “occasionally fake orgasm” to boost their spouse’s ego.

The figure made up part of the results of the survey on urban marital life conducted by Turn Insight to Action (TITA) Market Research on 400 people aged 18 to 55 in Hanoi and Saigon in 2015-2016.
The results were published this weekend, revealing that 31 percent of women occasionally faked their orgasms for fear of hurting their partner’s feelings, despite feeling “very happy” or “normal” about their marriage. The corresponding result amongst men was 16 percent.
Both groups of respondents agreed that the key factor affecting the quality of sex is understanding. Three quarters of “very happy” couples regularly talk with each other and care for the other person’s feelings, while slightly less than half of “normal” couples are comfortable talking about sex with their partner.
The survey also confirmed that couples engage in sex less frequently as they get older. Those who have been married for less than ten years ‘get busy’ as often as two to three times a week, compared to once or twice a month amongst those married for more than 20 years.
The average duration of sexual intimacy among respondents is 23 minutes, including foreplay, with most cases lasting for somewhere between ten and 20 minutes. Notably, 12 percent of those who feel their marriage is “normal” said their “sexy times” lasted just under ten minutes.
The percentage of women found to be faking orgasms in this survey was the same as a similar poll on French women conducted last year by the French Institute of Public Opinion (IFOP).
France topped the chart when it came to faking orgasms, with 31 percent of French women admitting to “regularly faking it” with their current partner, beating respondents from Canada, Italy, the U.S., Germany, the UK, Spain, and the Netherlands.
