“If pleasures are so similar, why don’t people ever orgasm from pleasure associated with food or art? Actually some do. According to Debra Herbenick, director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at the Indiana University Bloomington’s School of Public Health, eating a ripe tomato or reading nonerotic prose has been reported to provoke an orgasm. So too has walking barefoot on wood floors and doing pull-ups. She cannot yet say why, which lends support to the broader notion that, “There is really so much we as scientists still don’t understand about pleasure.””

All I get from some art, in the right circumstances, is goosebumps.
Not fair.
