There doesnt appear to be any evolutionary 'pleasure-advantage' in having sex with a perfect specimin, as against a 'plumper'? You would think there would be. The only conclusion can be that our 'rating system' is entirely driven by society and our immediate environment.

I don't think that there is physically any more pleasure to be had with a beautiful partner. However, a large part of our sexual enjoyment comes from our brain. It is often said that the most powerful errogeneous zone is the mind. So you enjoy sex more, if you believe your partner to be besutiful.
Also the prospect of an orgasm is not the sole reason for chasing a partner. Think about a "virgin" primite man. He doesn't "know" what an orgasm is! He is only following his instinct to try and mate with a partner, and will try and mate with the "best" partner that is available. That same instinct drives us today.
