Taipei - Half of Taiwan women fake orgasm so as not to hurt their husbands' egos but 30 per cent plan to speak up or seek divorce unless their husbands improve their love-making techniques, a study showed on Wednesday. The finding was made by the Taiwan Women's Health Association in is survey of the sex life of 400 women aged 30-60.
The survey showed that the interviewees have sex once or twice a week, but many are dissatisfied with the performance of their husbands in bed.
Nearly 50 per cent of those polled said they do not reach orgasm during intercourse, but they fake orgasm so as not to hurt their husbands' egos.
But 30 per cent of those polled said they were fed up with their husbands' poor performance, and plan to speak out the truth or even seek divorce unless their husbands improve.
The survey also found that Taiwan women care more about the hardness and endurance of their husbands' erection than the size of their penis.
Cheng Cheng-chieh, a gynecologist at the Taipei Medical University Hospital, urged Taiwan men to care about their wives' needs and feelings during intercourse.
"There should be more communication, caring and foreplay. If these have been tried but the intercourse is still not satisfactory, couples should seek professional help," he told reporters.
