This study investigates the goal-oriented nature of deceptive communication enacted through faking orgasms for people in diverse relationships that they perceived as less common or less accepted than more normative relationships (n = 501) using Multiple Goals Theory as a lens. Findings revealed that just over half the sample (52.4%) reported having faked an orgasm at some point in their lives, and approximately one third (32.3%) of the sample reported having faked an orgasm with their current partner. Results from qualitative analyses reveal that instrumental, identity, and personal goals characterized the reported motivations for faking orgasms, which primarily included faking an orgasm to end the activity or to benefit the partner. Implications for sexuality educators and future research are discussed.
