There are three main reasons:
1-Because faking orgasm robs you of pleasure. It’s a sign that pleasure-seeking (masturbation or other kinds of sex) is winding down, and orgasm isn’t happening, you’re not going for it, and you’re not really telling anybody else you’re not going for it. Not only that, you’re not even admitting any of this; you’re sending a false signal of “I’m done”-ness, when you could just as easily be authentic and say, “You know what? I’m done, let’s go do something else.”
(But some of you might protest that it’s not romantic or sexy to just say you’re quitting. Maybe, but see Reason #2, and actually, authentic sexuality IS sexy. Plus, faking teaches other people to pleasure you the wrong way. If you’re doing it while masturbating, you’re teaching yourself to do it the wrong way: to give up before you’ve discovered real satisfaction. That’s just not a good message to send. Instead, decide to use the energy you expend faking it to get a little more into your body, learn a little more about sex and arousal, fantasize about the things you really want to, and resolve to respect pleasure more.)
2-It’s not nice to fool people, but it adds to everyone’s misinformation and fucked-upped-ness about sex and pleasure when we fool people re: orgasm. Because that affects other people’s sexuality as well as out own — it means that partners are misled as to our sources of optimum pleasure (how self-defeating can you get?), it robs others of the intimacy-building experience of going REAL orgasm-hunting with us, and it misleads other people about what’s real about sex.
3-This one’s specific to twittergasms: twitter is a social networking endeavor, and like society itself, these only really function well when citizens are above-board, real, and express their real needs and experiences. Otherwise the whole entity will be flooded with fakeness, and people’s initial desire — to be connected — is sullied. Besides, it wastes airspace that can better be used to send around genuine sentiments… and twittergasms.

Twittergasm: Use Twitter to Support National Masturbation Month in May
Filed Under masturbation, social media, twitter
What is a Twittergasm? It’s a post to ones twitter profile indicating that they have just had a real orgasm.
ICSW (I came, so what?)
JOSW (jacking off, so what? related term to indicate ‘I’m jacking off’)
By typing the character string: ICSW to your twitter profile, you say with pride: I Came! Prudes of the world will be forced to realize once and for all, that no one really cares what adults do with themselves, and everyone does it.
The 2008 Masturbate-a-thon is using Twitter in an historic way. In partnership with GameLink.com, one of our sponsors, we have created the twittergasm. It’s a way of coming out of the closet as someone who masturbates by posting to your twitter profile whenever you come. A secret handshake of sorts, only others who follow the twittergasm profile, or who have read about the campaign will know, so your prudish friends will be left alone until they, too are enlightened.
Soon the Masturbate-a-thon website will have a page set up for twitter users to register their participation in this year’s annual event so they can get sponsorships, just like the participants in the live event, to help raise money for the Center for Sex and Culture, for their sex-education events.
