Something about that intense, sudden, direct eye contact in the heat of the moment just pushed me over the edge.

The research is the first to quantitatively link suspicions of infidelity to the likelihood of faking orgasm, said study researcher Farnaz Kaighobadi, a postdoctoral researcher at the HIV Center for Clinical and Behavioral Studies at Columbia University. But suspicion of infidelity isn't the only reason women might pretend they're having an orgasm, Kaighobadi said. Research on the female orgasm is relatively rare, Kaighobadi said.
