If the morality of an act is related to the pleasure and suffering it causes, why is necrophilia wrong?

I've been reading The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris and his somewhat simple and objective approach towards morality is appealing, but how does it answer issues where there is no impact on anyone?

Harris is a terrible source for a consequentialist account of morality, but reasons that we might think necrophilia is wrong on a consequentialist account is that other people don't like it and you'll likely be found out, its unsanitary, its forms an unhealthy disposition in you, wherein you seek sexual intimacy with corpses instead of other humans, which would be better for you.

But if you stipulate that none of these factors obtain and that necrophilia produces more good consequences than bad, and more good consequences than bad of anything else you could be doing instead, then yeah a consequentialist will say there's nothing wrong with it.
