Research has shown that 40% of men and women fake orgasm because of their partner’s bad breath.

Participants reported that bad breath was the main reason they faked an orgasm. Painful posture, room temperature, lighting and too much thinking were also cited as reasons for this.
“Bad breath and an uncomfortable sexual position are two factors that can cause someone to fake an orgasm, according to the study. However, the most common reason for faking an orgasm was the desire to stop sex.”
