Women lie about orgasms. Women lie about being virgins. Women lie about who got them pregnant, about whether they were raped, about how many people they've had sex with and what sort of experiences they've had - the list goes on and on. Over and over we're reminded that, on dates, in relationships, and especially in the bedroom, women just aren't telling the truth. But where does this assumption come from? Are women actually lying about sex, or does society just think we are? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eFaking It\u003c\/i\u003e, Lux Alptraum tackles the topic of seemingly dishonest women; investigating whether women actually lie, and what social situations might encourage deceptions both great and small. Using her experience as a sex educator and former CEO of Fleshbot (the foremost blog on sexuality), first-hand interviews with sexuality experts and everyday women, Alptraum raises important questions: are lying women all that common - or is the idea of the dishonest woman a symptom of male paranoia? Are women trying to please men, or just avoid their anger? And what affect does all this dishonesty - whether real or imagined - have on women's self-images, social status, and safety? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through it all, Alptraum posits that even if women are lying, we're doing it for very good reason -- to protect ourselves (\"My boyfriend will be here any minute,\" to a creep who won't go away, for one), and in situations where society has given us no other choice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA writer, sex educator, and consultant, \u003cb\u003eLux Alptraum\u003c\/b\u003e's work has been featured on \u003ci\u003eFusion\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eVerge\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eGuardian, Cosmopolitan, Fast Company\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRefinery29\u003c\/i\u003e.
