The Ladies Who Fake Orgasms
Here are further datapoints for our continuing research into orgasm fakers: "Cooper surveyed 366 females ages 18 to 32 who had indicated they endorse faking orgasms, about their sexual habits, their reasons for faking it during a past relationship and their feelings about intimacy. Many of these women said they faked it due to their own fear of intimacy; they also reported faking orgasm because they felt insecure about their sexual functioning, or because they want to get it over with. There was also a small group of participants who did it to enhance their own sexual experience."
Acid Hoaxer Sure Tried To Push A Lot Of Buttons During Her Fake-Out
Bethany Storro, the self-proclaimed "nice girl" from Vancouver, Wash., who claimed that she was accosted by a woman who called her "pretty girl" and offered her a drink — then threw a cup full of acid in her face, resulting in fairly severe chemical burns on her face and neck — has admitted that she made up the whole thing.

One of them, as it turns out, was Moe Tkacik, late of Jezebel, then late of Gawker. READ MORE
Orgasm Fakers: Who Are They?
Who is most likely to pretend to orgasm? Economist Hugo M. Mialon has it all figured out: "[M]en and women who believe their partner can tell whether they are faking are less likely to fake; men and women who love their partner are more likely to fake; and men who are closer to age eighteen and women who are closer to age thirty are less likely to fake." There is also a correlation between education and the potential for prevarication, which once again proves my theory that college is a waste of time.
Frank Gehry Is Just A Scam
Here is how Frank Gehry designs a hat, which is pretty much like how he designs a building: "Gehry said that he had done the initial drawing on his iPhone, which an assistant then produced: a violet scribble with a black-and-blue iris at the center." SCAM ARTIST.
