The Economics of Faking Orgasm - No, really. By Steven E. Landsburg
you can’t analyze the Fifth Amendment without considering the fact that defendants sometimes lie, and juries sometimes try to figure out when they’re lying. That’s where the orgasms come in. Lovers sometimes fake orgasms, and their partners sometimes try to figure out when they’re faking. So it’s only natural that an intellectual journey around the Fifth Amendment should include a side trip into the economics of faking orgasm.
According to the 2000 Orgasm Survey (did you know there was a 2000 Orgasm Survey?), 72 percent of women have faked at least once in their current or most recent relationship, and 55 percent of men say they can tell when their partner’s faking.
