(And also this of dath ilan: faking your sexual responses is... well, mostly it's not imagined, but if imagined, it would immediately be judged as serious-business awfulness.  You don't want to live in an equilibrium where people having sex are constantly distracted by the question of whether their partner's signals are real or fake.  Hiding your sexual responses during sex, sure, there are Complicated Romances like that, but if you see something it ought to be real.  Learning that somebody you'd trusted had done that to you would be the sort of betrayal where they'd be wondering for the rest of their life if it was going to happen to them again.  Telling a man that you deceptively faked your orgasms with him is the sort of thing that an irredeemable fictional villain would do to her ex-boyfriend, just before she stabbed him in the heart and left him to rot someplace his brain wouldn't be found.

If somehow an adult were caught faking an orgasm, and this was somehow socially proven... it wouldn't get them kicked out of as many cities as if they deliberately raped somebody.  But it would get them excluded from around the same number of orgies.

Obvious exceptions obviously apply, of course, like in movie acting or scripted sex work; there is a great difference between depiction and deception.)
