According to Mike yes, well he also gets aroused from going to private views and new art openings.
It can be a blink
Something that goes on in your subconscius, that gives you a sensation which you can't explain, but you know it's right.
I recently read this amazing book, which explains what goes on in our minds, the split second decision that proved itself more reliable than all the scientific tests of all time to unveil a Chorus as a fake.
Gladwell is an amazing writer. This book is about what happens in our minds in those split 2 seconds.
He's also famous for his book Tipping Point, in which deals with figuring out the rules by which social change happens. For example in NY they reduced street crime by keeping the neighboorhoods in perfect status, replacing every broken window and wiping out graffiti from tube carriages every single night, until it defeated the purpose.
Anyway more here.

Coming back to the original theme. Is art better than sex?
Uh! Well smuggling it, for some is:

For A instead food can be better than sex and his memory goes back to amazing banquets he attended to, or particular sensations that his tasting buds trasmitted him.
Salty, Sour, Sweet, Bitter or Umami?
So the question here is, do different people have different priorities in their senses or do they have one of them particular augmented?
Definetely this is the case.
Surely if it is vision, that makes Mike prefer a work of art to sex, then why watching a porn doesn't ?
My take on this? Sex on drugs is better than sex, but you might prefer spagnetti bolognese
( Can I remind non Italians here that we generally eat bolognese with tortellini and not with overcooked spaghetti!)
